Whacked at
da Wedding

by Kim Eastland

Everyone 'made guy' is invited to -- the Manicotti/Gelatto Wedding and you're guaranteed to die of laughter. Will this union bring peace in 'da family?' Does the bride’s father, Tony 'the Hair' Gelatto, really approve of the marriage of his daughter, Gina? What secrets might Gina try to keep? Will groom, Rico’s, efforts to hide his true profession come back to bite him? Mama Mia’s sure vocal about her feelings, but might she also be driven to murder? Nicco, the best man, can’t be as innocent as he’d have us believe, can he? Marissa the Mouth has certainly played the field lately. Perhaps she’s desperate for more than love? Perhaps one of the other “family members’ will get Whacked at da Wedding!
