Right, but Natalia is, so yes. Riley will smash a glass and there will be a huppa.

Yeah, duh, it's in the desert... However, keep in mind that because of the location, this will be a non-traditional type of wedding. Probably unlike most weddings you've been to. This will mostly be a celebration of ~ love ~ and Riley and Natalia will get hitched in the middle of the party, smash a glass, and then return to partying. There will be no formal, traditional, walk-down-the-aisle type of ceremony, no long speeches, no formal sit-down dinner.

The closest airports to Joshua Tree/Twentynine Palms are Los Angeles (LAX) (2.5-3 hrs drive) Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) (1-1.5 hr drive). From there, renting a car is the most convenient option to reach Joshua Tree National Park.

Joshua Tree, aka Twentynine Palms, aka The High Desert, is a magical place that has brought Riley and Natalia many good memories. They can't wait to share the ~desert vibes~ with you.

In May, Joshua Tree typically experiences warm and sunny weather with average temperatures ranging from 75°F to 90°F (24°C to 32°C) during the day and cooler temperatures in the evening. However, it's always a good idea to check the forecast closer to the date for any updates. #expecttheunexpected

there will be a shuttle service picking up and dropping off from: the Holiday Inn and the Ramsey 29 Motel. you can also uber. driving your own car is not recommended, if you're imbibin'. keep in mind that the venue is "off-road" meaning dirt roads lead you there. Miss the shuttle? No problem, there are plenty of hammocks and places to pitch a tent to rest your head.
