A wedding photo from late 1963 or early 1964
and is the wedding of Rosa's Brother Domenic Cafarella to Frances' sister
Toni or rather, Uncle Domenic, and Aunt Toni (Antoinetta).

from left to right:
Filipina (Carmela Rapisarda) Fichera, (sister-in-law of Rosa, holding her
daughter Lucia (yes of course obviously the same name as my wife, and to
make it worse, born on the same date but 2 or 3 years later); Rosa Fichera
(holding on to the hand of Lucia (my wife); Peter Cafarella (Rosa's
brother); Domenic (the groom); Toni (the bride); Josephine (another sister
of Aunt Toni);  Salvatore (Rosa's father); Nella (Sebastianna Greco
Cafarella who is Rosa's mother; she was called Nella as a contraction of
Sebastianella  imagine my confusion!);  Saro (Rosario Fichera my future
father-in-law);  Giuseppina Caravaglio Cafarella (mother of the bride);
Vincenzo Cafarella (father of the bride);  I don't know the other people in
the background, but in the foreground holding the baby is Frances (Maria
Francesca Cafarella, sister of the bride) and the baby is Julia, you can't
see their faces;  the lady in the big hat that is looking sort of toward
camera is Joan (also sister of the bride).
