My invites had an italian translation. It was done by someone with his masters in Italian who lived in Venice for several years so its 'proper'. I will have to dig it up for you.

Email me and I will send it back to you.

Real sicilians (as in grew up in sicily) can read proper italian. Its only the american sicilians (those who never lived there) have trouble with it. My husband speaks/understands the sicilian dialect but cant read a lick.

In any case, it was more important for US that it be gramatically correct since the only people that cant read english were people from Italy (not NY Italians).

If you or Leap would rather use the dialect, thats okay too...just not the impression i wanted to give.

(My original version was done in a dialect and when the guy with his masters in Italian read it he couldnt stop laughing. He said it sounded like a 5 year old had written it.)
