I have a good group of friends and a reasonable sized family. I can’t wrap my head around these weddings with 100-300 guests. Am I a loser or are they inviting mostly tertiary characters.

    Ok… I can understand that but… What does the plumber have to do with it? Was he “laying pipe”?

      The plumber was the one getting hitched to the other Italian. A bit of ambiguous pronoun use there.

        Oh, it was a general contractor marrying the plumber. That makes sense. I read it as 3 separate people.

          My dad used an Italian plumber (a man), the Italian plumber was getting married to an Italian woman (the 3rd person in the story).

          My dad is just the person who the Italian plumber and I both know.
