What can I say about Stefania & Calogero's wedding? Perhaps "You had to be there" sums it up but doesn't do it justice! What a fantastic day, such a brilliant couple that love each other and their families so much - and aren't afraid to show it!

Go away. Will you get out of here? What is it that keeps you from up and leaving? Is there some arcane force binding you to the spot? Why are you here, anyway? Oh, naturally, you came here for something particular, and... allow me to use the simple powers of deduction, please. I have nothing of worth in my abode, and I am a medium.
