‘Dancing With The Stars Celebs’ Turn Up in Oregon for Elegant Wedding

I'm the one who always cries at weddings. I have no idea why I get so overcome with sweet emotions. That is why I think it would be safe to say that I would totally freak out (in a good way) if a cool celebrity decided to get married in the small town where I live.

That's likely what happened to wedding vendors and residents near Pistol River in Oregon, when they found out their clients were also famous TV celebrities.

IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO...AND FALL IN LOVE AND GET MARRIED

The bride is a dancer from the hit TV reality show, Dancing with the Stars, or DWTS, as the kids say, and the groom is an alum from So You Think You Can Dance.

If you don't watch DWTS, Koko Iwasaki got married to her boo, Chris "Kiki" Nyemchek. She joined the show in 2022, the same year they got engaged.

WHERE IS PISTOL RIVER, OREGON?

If you drive along the coast of Oregon and feel like, "Hey, shouldn't we be in California by now?", then you've probably reached Pistol River State Scenic View on Oregon Coast Highway 101. It's about half an hour ride away from the California border town of Smith River.

FUN FACT: According to local legend, in 1853, the town was named after one of the settlers, James Mace, lost his gun in the river, ergo the name, Pistol River.
