My Aunt Bess & Uncle John's Wedding. I was seven years old, and had recently made my First Communion at Holy Cross.
So I had a brand new navy blue suit to wear that day. The day started with breakfast at my Grandma Sanfilippo's house. She had doughnuts, and I wanted to make sure I had enough to eat later, so I put a jelly doughnut in my suit jacket pocket. Of course I forgot it was there, and it got squished real quick.
I remember my mother being quite upset when she had to clean out that pocket. There was a dinner that afternoon at Leonardo's Restaurant in Buffalo. It turned out that I didn't need to worry about food, because they just kept bringing stuff to the table, and I ate until I was stuffed. And of course there were the sandwiches at the reception, all wrapped in wax paper, plus the cookies and the barrel of peanuts! Add in the drunks arguing and falling down, and being allowed to stay up real late, and it was a great day for a little kid.
