My grandmother's family are Polish/Czech/Lithuanian Jews and my grandfather's family is Italian, so I grew up with both...weddings, funerals, bat/bat mitzvahs, confirmations...and yes...they both know how to party and feast afterwards. It's no wonder I have a big belly these days hehehe

I had to do the full Catholic thing, which was a headache.....but Catholics can throw a pretty damn good party. Though, I must admit, they pale in comparison to a Jewish wedding. I got to attend one of those for the first time a few years ago...holy crap was that a good time, and I didn't know anyone there! They treat all guests as long lost friends, and they just let the party rip! Plus I thought the Jewish wedding vows were terrific...simple, elegant, and meaningful.
