The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending July 1st 2001 included news of the wedding of accordionists Mary Kay Welter and Henry Doktorski, a happy event in Pennsylvania, USA.

Accordionists Wedding – USA

On June 23rd accordionists Mary Kay Welter & Henry Doktorski were married at St. Patrick Church in Oakdale, Pennsylvania, USA. Henry played and sang a ‘Betrothal Pledge’, which he wrote specially for his new bride Mary Kay. Following this he played a polka medley with the band ‘The Mike Westbury Quintet’, which got the crowd up and dancing. Henry was a member of this band for four years.

Six year old Nathan Webster brought his accordion all the way from Minneapolis, Minnesota (about 900 miles), especially to play at the event.
