Italian Wedding Soup

Italian Wedding Soup; Back in Vancouver while waiting for the new Planet Hollywood Restaurant to finish construction, I took on a catering position for a very well-known off Broadway play called Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding. The 150 paying guests would first go to the church and be part of the couples ceremonies. There were play actors sitting at different tables that would interact with the wedding family. Some were real funny, some were bitter, lots were just drunk uncles and many misfits humour.

It was a fun job three times a week and later after the church wedding ending had the guests come back to the restaurant on Hastings Street for the party of eating drinking and dancing. Believe me a lot of the customers took it to the extreme believing they were just at a real wedding. I prepared a great Italian Wedding Soup that got standing ovations when I was introduced to the crowd. A bio about the actors.

A Vancouver couple who have wed each other more than 60 times are tying the knot once again, but this time it’s for real.

Ashlee Asconi and Giovanni Tempesta were actors in the Vancouver production of the long-running play Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding in 2006, when they pledged themselves to each other in matrimony three times a week.
