I (Mrs. Chinston) will be serving as a matron of honor for a good friend, and she has (somewhat incredibly) outsourced to me the task of finding a beautiful Italian love-poem to be read at the ceremony. She said she didn't want anything "too tortured." Not sure what that means. My first thought was Petrarch, but I haven't had much luck so far.<br> <br> But anyway, if someone is intimately familiar with Italian poetry, or even with one very good (and not too tortured!) Italian love-poem, I would appreciate your help. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.84682 Tue, 26 Feb 2008 17:15:44 -0800 italian italianpoetry lovepoem weddingceremony weddings chinston http://ask.metafilter.com/12201/Eloping Should my fiancé and I elope? Our families are agnostic, get along famously and approve of this holiest of unions; however neither of us wants the stressful social/financial trappings that go along with a traditional wedding ceremony. As a consolation to any friends or family who feel slighted, we'll be throwing a reception soon after our private ceremony (we have decided not to hit people up for gifts either). Are we missing out on something by not holding a traditional wedding ceremony? <br> <br> For the elopers out there: any regrets? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.12201 Fri, 26 Nov 2004 09:57:00 -0800 elope eloping marriage wedding weddingceremony kidhuevos
