Married members: Did you seek permission/blessing?

[Dayze]

I married into a huge / exetended, 100% Italian family. so yeah....I did. lol

I didn't know here dad all that well since her mom re-married so I was skeert chitless.
I had to go down to his liquor store, and he took me into the back. He said absoolutely, shook my hand.

whilst shaking my hand, asked me where I was from and I told him Lenexa; and he said "Oh, yeah. I've heard of that. Well, take care of my daughter, because we do things a little differently than in Lenexa"

lol. He's cool though. Very abrasive, loud; always 'knows a guy' who can get anything. His brother works at a Deli......it's almost too good to make this stuff up. lol

Does he wear large collared shirts with too many buttons unbuttoned with bushy black chest hair poofing out? Does he have slicked back black hair? Does he wear brown faded sunglasses?

No; but I swear to god, his brother's house, in their dining room, they have a black laquered table, black laqured hutch thinky; and everything has gold on it.

at our wedding when we were taking our pictures in this nice park - everyone was sort of gathered around, mingling etc

he dad rolls up and parks in a handicap spot. he's not handicapped, I said (name witheld)"hey....I think you parked in a handicapped spot. and he says "oh, so I did". reaches into his glove box and pulls out a handicap placard and hangs it from his mirror. lol

His grandmother, how was like 95 - and his since passed sadly - always donned a jet black wig. His brother and him would talk football etc, and they'd be swearing back and forth. His mom slaps him in the arm (which was a weaky, 90 old woman slap), looks up to the ceiling and does the holy cross thingy on her chest. Followed by both of them "Sorry, Ma"

the first Thanksgiving I attended, it was nothing but basta (which is what they call it apparently) and sugo; bread, meatballs, stuffed artichokes, lassagna, stuffed shells, meatsauce....just a HUGE spread of italian food. and I swear, the 'turkey' was like the size of a game hen/small chicken lol..which no one touched.

The first time I met her cousin, he was friendly; about my age. we start talking, asks what I did for a living; I tell him; and he takes a long drag of his cigarette and says "...How much does somethin' like that pay"?


just a collective series of things/actions over years where it's like one big stereo type.

You aren't on 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' are you? If so...please kill your wife and all of her extended family.
