The Roseman and Cacciamanis families have been engaged in a feud for years.
In fact, neither Julie (Roseman) nor Romeo Cacciamanis can remember a time when the mention of the other family's name wouldn't set a parent off.
Both Julie and Romeo have kept the tradition alive, but when they meet, when they're both 60, they find they really like each other. In fact, they fall deeply in love. But they soon find that both their families are disgusted with the idea of their family and the dreaded others getting together.
At times funny, at times insightful, this was a wonderful sweet story. A lot like a fairytale actually.
