It was the event of a lifetime at The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Rome as a pair of Grand guests celebrated their daughter\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n

Betty and Tony Tornatore were unable to be with their daughter Lisa when she got married last month in Massachusetts, so Lisa and her husband Dan donned their wedding finery once again for a second celebration at The Grand on Sunday, Nov. 19. It was a true family affair as Dan and Lisa, the youngest of the Tornatores’ nine\u00a0children, exchanged vows at The Grand and were married by Lisa\u2019s brother Michael.<\/p>\n

While Dan and Lisa both live in Massachusetts, Lisa insisted they should would find a\u00a0way for her parents to attend her wedding, despite the distance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told my father, Dad, I am going to be getting married and one way or another, you are going to be there,\u201d said Lisa.<\/p>\n

The mood was festive at The Grand with family members and guests enjoying lively music, Italian cuisine and a delicious wedding cake. But it was Lisa\u2019s bouquet that stole the show, made from an assortment of brooches that Betty, who had worked as a jeweler, had collected over the years. Betty has been at The Grand since 2015 with\u00a0Tony joining her one year later; both are extremely well-loved and everyone was excited to share this special moment with them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe work hard to make sure that everyone at The Grand feels like they are part of the\u00a0family,\u201d said Kristen Spohr-Fulmer, administrator. \u201cWe were so honored to be able to share this milestone event with Betty and Tony and felt like honorary Tornatones as we celebrated Lisa and Dan\u2019s wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having enjoyed Lisa\u2019s wedding at The Grand, Betty, who is 78, and Tony, who is 89, are looking forward to their next Grand celebration: their upcoming 39th wedding anniversary Dec. 2.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetty and Tony are truly wonderful people,\u201d said Leigh Nicholas, director of recreation. \u201cIt was a privilege to share Lisa\u2019s wedding with them and we look forward to enjoying many more joyous occasions with them in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
