How it Works in Roma

It's a hard life when one's friend gets married in Italy.

One must be prepared to:

take time off*fly to Europe*stay in Rome for a few days*laugh a lot with a best friend*go see all the sights ala Audrey Hepburn Roman Holiday*laugh a lot with a best friend*stay in an amazing hotel outside the city*take a shuttle into the city every morning with a driver named Angelo*drink champagne at lunch*take a scenic train ride an hour north to Orvieto*sit across from a mean nun*stay in a quaint B&B*get dressed up every night and drink lots of wine*laugh a lot with some best friends*run into Noah Wiley and his family on vacation*take cat naps*did I say laughing?* try to speak Italian*give up and decide to just speak English with a faux Italian accent*eat gellato*laugh some more*fly home*watch Marley and Me on the Plane*cry*laugh.
