You're invited to escape your everyday world and slip into something a little more comfortable – sunny Palm Springs, California – as you celebrate Jessica & Jeremy's transformation from uptight New Yorkers into the very definition of resort chic, the lovely and newlywed #PalmBreslins.

Read on to see how all the weekend's activities can turn you into your #PalmSelf. But first, let’s take a trip down memory lane to remind ourselves just how it all began. 

This wedding almost didn’t happen. 

They almost didn’t meet. They almost didn’t flirt. They almost never saw each other again. 

Without their good friends the Perezes, this story would have never unfolded, and you wouldn’t be getting ready to spend a fantastic weekend with a lot of really fantastic people. So after you congratulate the lovely couple, give Dani + Kellie a high five. 

See, it was them who convinced Jess to join their summer houseboating adventure by showing her videos of the fun – specifically the life of the party, Mr. Jeremy Breslin. Somehow, they predicted that he, in his signature red shirt, would have all the right moves to slide into her heart. Jeremy himself wasn’t so sure, worrying that Jess’s “boyfriend" Frank George would stand in the way. Thankfully, Frank George wasn’t half the man Jeremy Breslin is. Mostly because he was a snowman, which Jeremy didn’t realize. See, in a classic #fail, his BlackBerry was unable to load the pictures attached to the invite. In another universe, that little red X icon prevented any of this from happening. 

But the stars aligned, the DJ played some Usher, and for the next few years Jess & Jeremy nursed their houseboat hangovers together in Portland. In this universe, nothing could keep the lovely couple apart. Not even Jess landing her dream job in New York. 

When New York came a-callin’, Jeremy was there to support his lady. It didn't matter that few could really explain her job...the big shots at Wieden+Kennedy could, and they wanted her to do it there. So they moved. And when the biggest storm New York had ever seen arrived exactly when he did, it only brought them closer together (literally – when your building’s heater kicks the bucket, cuddling is your best friend). 

Because that’s life. It’s curveballs. It’s facing the unexpected. And facing it with someone who makes you feel like it’ll all work out just fine, because no matter what, you’ll have each other. When you look at it like that, the curveballs aren’t a bad thing at all. They’re what make life exciting. 

That’s why Jeremy threw Jess a curveball of his own. 

What Jess thought was an early birthday celebration to Cape Cod turned out to be the surprise of a lifetime, when Jeremy whisked her away to Paris. Ironically, the ad-girl never saw the bait-and-switch coming. 

She was thankful for the wonderful birthday gift, but didn’t quite understand why he refused (multiple times) to remove his backpack. Now we know he had one last surprise in mind – asking her to be his wife. 

What surprises might their future hold next? It’s anybody’s guess. But one thing’s for certain. They couldn’t be more excited to face them hand in hand.

The resort is lovely, but it isn't the only place to get into the mood. Palm Springs is a beautiful town with plenty of ways for you to enjoy yourself, so whether you're a budding art connoisseur or like to spend free time exploring the great outdoors, there's something for everyone.

Friday is all yours, so here are the top 7 ways to spend it transforming into your #PalmSelf. 

1. Hit the Links

According to at least one Palm Springs golfer, Palm Springs is the Golf Capital of the World. There are over a hundred of courses for you to ignore, because you get a wedding discount at these five. 

2. Chill and/or Straight Chill

La Quinta Resort Pools
The Arzner Pool is the wedding’s primary swimming hole, but the resort’s 41-pool total was a major selling point for #PalmJess. “When you’ve dipped a toe in them all, make like Brian McKnight and start back at one.” 

La Quinta Resort Spa
The wide range of body treatments, salon services, and wellness programs make it one of Spa Finder’s Top 50 in the world. Make use of them to shake that Friday morning hangover. You need to be in fighting shape for the big night. 

3. Take a Hike

Palm Springs Tram
Take the world’s largest rotating tramcars to a whole new world of incredible views from 8,000 feet. Bundle up though – it’s forty degrees colder at the top. A snugglebuddy never hurts. 

Tahquitz Canyon
Do go chasing this 60 foot waterfall, where you’ll find rock art, ancient irrigation systems and artifacts along with cultural and educational exhibits.  Explore on your own, or hit up the visitor center and meet a ranger who would be really, really happy to lead your hike. 

Other outdoorsy-ness: Joshua Tree, The Living Desert, Big Morongo Canyon Preserve, Murray Canyon, Palm Canyon, or just Google the word “canyon” and call it a day.

4. Pretend to be Cultured

With an emphasis on contemporary California art, classic western American art, Native American art, Pre-Columbian art, Mexican art, contemporary glass art, American mid-twentieth century architecture, and American photography, the Palm Springs Art Museum offers plenty of opportunities to sound smarter than everyone else at the reception.

5. Get on Up

Greet the sun or bid it farewell as you drift into the beautiful desert skies in a Hot Air Balloon. Enjoy some champagne while overlooking the breathtaking vistas of California’s landscape, but if you want to make it back, avoid sharing any with the pilot. 

6. Fly Through History

“It’s a bird!”

“It’s a plane!”

“Actually, it’s a jet!”

“I think a jet is technically a type of plane!”

“Don’t you think I know that, Jerry?!” 

Peer into the cockpits of one of the world's largest collections of WWII aircraft at the Palm Springs Air Museum, and hear the pounding roar of the mightiest piston engines ever built – loud enough to drown out the arguments of even the most steadfast aviation geeks. 

7. Lose All Your Money

Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley boast some of the newest and most beautiful casinos in all of Southern California, and they don’t stay new and beautiful without your generous contributions. If Friday the 13th sounds like good luck to you, get your game on at these six near the resort.
