Daddy's Little Girl..
Last month, we went to the UK, then on to Italy for our daughter Shannon's wedding to John Cozzolino.

Why Italy??

She & John live and work in London. His mom is born & raised in Malta, his dad from Naples, It. They now live in Sydney Australia, as does John's sister & family.. Then there are the relatives & friends from all over the world.

Net, Net.. Shannon picked Portofino,, I didn't get a vote..

Posted some pic's on FB. Finally getting around to posting here. I held off because I have been waiting for pictures to come in from the photographer and some of the attendees. As an aside, I sent the kids my pictures,, 4 cd's, just shy of 400.. Digitals are great...

Can't wait any longer..

Shannon and John micro-managed every detail of the wedding and did a very good job. Surprisingly she also managed to come in under budget. Made Pop-Pop very happy..

She also managed to coordinate everything without speaking two(2) words of Italian. John's parents left Italy when he was 4 yo, so his Italian is,, sparse..

I start with this picture because I love it. Shannon watches some UK show where they "smile with your eyes"..

She's hit it..

One Proud Pop-Pop..

Congratulations, JJ! (To you and your lovely wife, as well as the bride and groom) Great pictures. I am sure glad my daughters (including my older daughter - Shannon) picked LA and Vegas!
