Dan and Katie's Wedding

We were in Grand Rapids/Grant, MI again this past week (its now been every other weekend since I have finished school). But we had an awesome reason to go because Dan VandenAkker got married! Dan is Alec's childhood friend, high school buddy, and college roommate! So they have a LONG history. He married Katie Roelofs, who just graduated from Calvin with nursing. They are an adorable couple and we were so excited to be there as they started their married journey!

We had a great time with the wedding. Alec's mom did the pictures for the wedding, and I was her special helper. Basically I just ran around telling people what to do (I know it is hard to imagine me doing that), so I enjoyed my position. Alec's brother, Derek, was also a groomsmen so it was a family affair! Almost the entire DeLange family was able to make it to the wedding, so it was a really good time. The only absent family members were Emily (younger sister) who couldn't get away from camp Roger, and poor Steve (Alec's brother in law) who came down with the flu and was throwing up all day (I guess that's a legitimate excuse).

We had fun dancing the night away and catching up with friends and family.

Was a beautiful ceremony at LaGrave CRC in downtown

The groomsmen and Dan planned a ridiculous 'dance routine' for Katie, but it was really funny and I got most of it on video
