Since none of them will surely never put an eye on this blog of mine, I am paying a humble tribute to this most wonderful, and utterly unlucky family. Among all the tragedies that hit many members in the last two decades, I want to recall instead one of the funniest moments I shared with them. Because my parents and myself have shared in times so many intense and joyful moments with them, despite difficulties, sadness and mourning that stroked them so hard. They’re fantastic people and you learn a lot from them.
It was during the wedding of Nicholas and his bride Rosanna in the beautiful countryside around Berkhamsted that a suspected “under the influence” usher gave his speech. He mentioned that Nicholas had told him about an episode back to the very first weekend Nicholas and Rosanna had spent together.
“Before going to sleep” the usher explained, “Nick asked Rosanna “how would you like your eggs tomorrow morning?” and the answer from her was “unfertilized, please.”
The audience at that moment split in two. Half was laughing out loud, half was paralyzed. For the part of the audience who was cracking up it was even funnier to watch the others who were not.
This is one of the best bitter sweet memories I have of them.
