Well I finally have a Brother-In-Law on my side of the family!! My sister Molly married Michael van Akkerren on March 29, 2008. It was a beautiful ceremony reception and day all around. The wedding was at Our Lady of Consolation and the reception was down at the Amway Grand Plaza. They did an amazing job, planning and organizing, there was not one glitch in the day. Well maybe just the flu outbreak among the guests. Guess that is the risk you take getting married during cold and flu season.
Michael had many family members from Holland travel here for the wedding. We were so glad to meet them and I am sure they had a wonderful time as well.
Michael is not a fireman, but apparently they do not have fire trucks in Holland so the Dutch boys are always so facinated with them. Michael's friend Jan and my brother went to Rockford Fire Department and asked them to make a stop after the wedding to surprise Michael. It was very cute.
Again, I want to say congrats to Molly and Michael and we love you both!!
