Freddie and Rossella ~ May 12, 2011

My mom's immediate side of the family is very small. I have one grandmother, one aunt and one cousin, Freddie. We spent a lot of time as kids at my grandmother's house (aka Rita, Rit, Mom Mom) and Freddie was more like a big brother to me than a cousin. We grew up, up and apart but now that we're older we've got much more in common, most recently our love for weddings. I needed to write a little background info just so when I say "I have never seen Freddie so incredibly happy" it has a little more impact. I have never seen Freddie so incredibly happy. I can understand this because Rossella is right. The first time I met her, I felt like I knew her forever. She was genuine, comfortable, strong, independent, beautiful, just what Freddie needed...and those eyes! Rossella's family is wonderful and large, lots of aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents and as happy as I am that Freddie has Rossella, I am just as happy that he has her family to call his own.
Now on to the wedding...
HOLY SMOKES! It was awesome. Rossella looked better than beautiful, ravishing, exquisite, whatever word means the prettiest.  Freddie looked more handsome than I have ever seen, I want to say dapper or debonair, whatever word means the handsomest. Just a side note, their flower girl was the most gorgeous little girl I have ever seen in my entire life.
A while back I wrote about how focused these two were on their marriage in "my mission". I think what was most impressive was that they remained that focused on their relationship and still had this incredible event with countless details and no loose ends.
Thank you to Fred and Rossella for choosing me and trusting me to document this day for you. I am so looking forward to the next chapter in your life together and wish you all the very best. I love you both!
Thank you so much to my very good friend T Alimario who was there to document Freddie's preparation while I got to spend time with the ladies. T Alimario = Bomb.
