Royal Palm Yacht Club has been the scene of numerous weddings but never the likes of Nino & Nina’s Wacky Italian Wedding that took place on Saturday evening the 27^th of February and hosted by Karen & Bob Thomas. 

Produced by “Over the Top Productions” more than 100 members of RPYC were treated to a rare look into what actually happens when a wedding occurs in the “Family”.  Amidst heavy security Nina and Nino exchanged wedding vows administered by Father Luigi while Mama, the groom’s mother, complained loudly and tearfully of her aches and pains to her back and feet along with her sons choice of a bride. 

During the reception Sister Marinara got totally smashed on wine while Smuckatelli and Cubana, cousins of the groom, attempted to fleece high rollers in attendance by offering “privileged” investments.  Olivia Garden, cousin of the bride and maid of honor, worked the room trying to hustle as many young men as time would permit.

Guests lined up to present cash donations to the bride and kiss the ring of Don Chianti, father of the bride, and then joined the wedding party in dancing the Tarantella.

Everyone enjoyed a delicious Italian themed dinner complete with a multi-tiered wedding cake prepared by our own RPYC chef.  The cast honored Mr. &  Mrs. Jack Martin who have been married for 59 years by having them cut the wedding cake.
