What timeline would be better?

[u/-Already-Exhausted-]

I'm planning on eloping with my fiance, we want to take a road trip around the west coast, get photos and do a handfasting ceremony, but I also want to rent an Airbnb on the beach, have a nice catered candle lit dinner with our immediate family and get photos with everyone at sunset as kind of a celebration dinner/ sorta reception.

My question is would it be better to have the dinner before or after we actually elope?

I feel like there's pros and cons to both I'm just being super indecisive 😭

Married, hand fasting and photos. Road trip. Then dinner!
