The one who showed me how to throw a softball, and the one who screened all the guys I dated throughout my life to see if they were fit for me to go out with. Now in most families, weddings are a pretty big deal. Well in my family, they are a very big deal. I come from an Italian, Catholic family from a small island east of Boston. In my hometown, weddings are very elaborate, include many guests and are very expensive.
Lets talk about the party.
In my family, we have a lot of traditions we have before the actual wedding. Of course, there is a rehearsal dinner, which includes a huge meal and most important, an open bar. After dinner, the party continues. My uncle happens to own, The Old Timers, a local bar where everyone hangs out. It will be shut down and reserved for a select few with invitations.
