Mina, Rina and Tina

These are Mina (9) and Rina (7), their mother Tina (38), was so upset that it was impossible to take her picture; her younger sister, Simona (Sysy, 36) was getting married today to Stefano (Fyfy, 37) at the ancient church of Santa Prassede, Rome where we all were waiting for the last 48 minutes. What is known is that Sysy and Fyfy decided against tradition and planned to come to church together. What is not known is that while dressing, Fyfy holding one cufflink, asked Sysy if she knew where his other cufflink is, Sysy said that it is called your cufflink because you should know where it is; Fyfy said he did not ask for attitude, Sysy gave him more attitude and Fyfy, angrily, threw the one cufflink against the wall, it fell on the floor (the cufflink, not the wall) and rolled under the sofa. Sysy ran into the bedroom and banged the door shut. Twenty minutes later, Sysy opened the door to give Fyfy some more attitude and found Fyfy on his knees crying, so Sysy went down on her knees too and they kissed after which, being on their knees anyway, they scuttled to the sofa to look for the one cufflink. They found two cufflinks next to each other cozy and happy, as cozy and happy as inanimate objects can be. They finished dressing quickly and got a cab to be only 64 minutes late ... all frowns and raised eyebrows and knowing nods vanished, Mina and Rina threw petals most expertly and Tina smiled again. The cufflinks also smiled (as inanimate objects can, sometimes, smile too).
