“And I’m, like, ‘Listen, is there anything you need me, to specifically do?'” Balducci said at the time. “He pulls me to the side, he says, ‘No, but there’s something I don’t want you to do.’ I go, ‘What’s that?’ He goes, ‘Don’t be late.'”
He added: “In defense of myself, I really did what any Staten Islander would have done in that situation.”
He ultimately ended up being two hours late to his own wedding. He and Sabrina would go on to have two children who are now teenagers.
