I wish you would write Vecchio more! This was so perfect. I've been to so many weddings like that, and you caught just what it feels like when you step outside the madness for a second. It made me want to put on some Louis Prima and look through the old family albums.
Loved the details, the Italian lyrics, the bit about not being white--you nailed so much about the Italian-American experience in a few words. I'm in awe.
Bravissima!
