Robert, What made you decide to get married on St. Patrick's Day? Are you Irish as well as Italian?

My Mom's family was 1st generation from Italy
My Fathers family was 1st Generation from County Cork Southern Ireland.
but we never met any of my fathers family, except for his brother. My Dad's mom died when he was 2 1/2 yrs old. Dad took off when me Dad and his brother were 12 and 13 living in seattle and they came home from school one day and he was gone and they never saw him again. He just abanded them and moved to Austrailia and then settled in Vancouver BC. It's all a sad story.
So we learned the Italian way of life, but in the last 10 years I have been to Ireland 3 times.
Thanks for asking

Robert, what an interesting story. Thanks for sharing it. Funny coincidence about getting married on St. Patricks Day then.
CJR and emc those are beautiful hearts!!!
Shnnn -- getting married on that day means you'll have many years of good luck, right?
Can't wait to see how the hearts and butterflies quilts turns out.

No wonder why we all get along well. We all got married on crazy days. On other funny story about our wedding was when we got our picture book back we opened it up and there was pictures of a person in a casket and all the flowers and pictures of the funeral. Turns out it was our photographer mother who had passed away.....
LOL
