"Hi, I'm the wedding coordinator"
"Oh hi! I'm one of the aunts, well the GREAT-aunts, this is my sister, and these are the boys, our husband. We're all from Staten Island. We didn't want to be late, we just love Lauren."
"Of course."
I extended my hand to the gentlemen and one of the 75 year olds takes my hand in a heavy accent says, "We were expecting J-lo"
"Sorry to disappoint."
"It's ok, I guess you'll do."
We made our way to the church steps and I overheard one man to another, "Oh boy, since we're so early, we should go down the block and get a frankfurter from a cart, haven't done that in 20years."
Four police officers pass by and the same gentleman says, "Hello officers, How are you doin'?" They respond with big smiles and say "oh just fine, you here for a wedding?" The man says, "Yes, my great-niece is getting married today." with obvious pride. The officers say, "oh thats nice, congratulations!" and continue on their way. The man turns to me and says, "You should always say hi to people, it's just a nice thing to do."
Such sweet people.
