| Just
a few words, to try and explain what the wedding of my niece
Antonella and the wedding of my sister Angelina, [mother of Antonella]
have in common - Mario.
In 1967 when my sister Angelina got married I was 19 years old and being the youngest of the family I was asked to give my sister away, and 40 years later because of circumstances (my brother-in-law is not able to walk) I gave my niece Antonella away. It was a very proud moment for me on both occasions. |
