We'll be having our rehearsal, followed by pizza in the park. The Salem Willows Park is a 35-acre oceanfront site named for the original white willow trees that were planted there around 1800. Once home to one of the nation's first smallpox hospitals, the park has established itself as a rich piece of history that has carried on for generations. This will also be the location of our union ceremony the following day, and is also the grounds for an arcade and pier.

Cocktail Attire: a balance between formal and casual and elegant and comfortable.
Uniting before our friends and family, we will be having a Pagan Handfasting that combines some old traditions with new values. There will only be a few seats available, as we don't intend the ceremony to last long, and we ask for those to be reserved for the guests most in need. We ask for as many people as possible to stand with us as we pledge our lives and our love to one another.
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
