My grandparents at their wedding in 1949. My great grandfather (her dad) wouldn’t pay for the wedding because she married an Italian.

    1. My grandmother was Irish, my grandfather was a first generation Italian American.

      Her father was a 3rd generation Irish American.

      He told my grandmother that Italians were “inside out n words” and that she’d have been “beaten to death” if she married an Italian “in the old neighbourhood.”

    2. All I want is for my kids’ future spouses is that they love and treat my children well. I couldn’t care less about anyone’s race or nationality. It’s such a minor thing to be hung up about.
