- Saturday Feb. 16 : MAMMA KNOWS BEST! - a Fun Singles Party - FREE!
Many of you may know this to be true: in Italy when you marry, you don’t just marry your spouse, you marry the entire family. So, to make sure that the person you’re marrying is accepted by “la famiglia”, the lucky fellow goes through a sort of examination period (also known as “3rd degree”)... For one night, you’ll be the Italian family, getting to know each single to see if they’re really a good catch for you or your friend. You don't want to end up with a “mammalucco”, right!?!
If you’re single or you know a single man or woman don’t miss this fun event! No pressure, just come and meet new friends and who knows.. perhaps l'amore nascera' (love will blossom).
