Instead of the traditional rehearsal dinner limited to family, we would like everyone who is traveling to Yachats to be a part of all of our wedding activities. We will be grilling for a casual and relaxed rehearsal dinner on Wednesday, September 5 at Honeyman State Park in Florence, OR. We have reserved the Woahink Shelter on Woahink Lake.
