Gerard still needs his mom's help in getting ready. lol.
The men waited for the ladies to arrive. They always have to wait, don't they?
The happy bride and groom. The whole Arink clan came down for the wedding.The two brothers, everyone kept saying how much they looked alike. And then Timothy was looking at the pictures at home and commented on how much Uncle Curtis looks like Daddy. They were just infatuated with each other. At one point I was talking to Curtis but his eyes were just following Melanie around the room. I hope and pray that they will have a wonderful happy marriage, serving God in everything. The very cute old historical church that they got married in. They belong to the OPC Church and rent the building from the Seventh-day Adventist congregation, but they of course use it on Saturday, so they rented this church.
A pose of us at the end of the night. It was a very different reception than the ones in our Canadian Reformed church, as there was no M.C. (the bride didn't even know what that was) and there was a D.J. instead. An exciting thing to make note of is Gerard wanted to dance!!!! Many years ago (or was it many, many years ago) when we went on a Cruise he would have nothing to do with it, but we got up and had some fun, actually a lot of fun. He even requested the song he sang for me on our wedding, it is a song by Petra called "Love". (now if I was really computer savvy I could put a link here that you could click on and hear the song) The song was totally after there wedding text and is the perfect marriage song, even after nine and half years, I still love the song. It was really romantic of him, and so special to dance to the song while singing it to each other. I still just love the guy so much.
Nice picture of you and Gerard.

For some reason a hyperlink didn't actually get created the first time i tried this. ( I admit I'm new to blogs myself ) But in any event, copy the link and past in your browser for the song.
