My FH and I are looking for rings right now, and my very favorite has diamonds in it--much to my surprise, as I have all the same hesitations you do. The artisan who designs and makes the ring has assured us that the diamonds they use are "conflict-free," but I'm not so sure I buy that. Talk about a conflict diamond! I'm spending way too much energy going back and forth on this... :) Anyway, thanks for all the info here. -another indiebride I don’t even know if you’ll get this comment since this was written so long ago, but I just wanted to thank you for your reflections.

We are trying to get married in Florence in October and we have run into the same problems with paperwork. While my fiance's was easy, mine was a nightmare because I was not born in this country. I'm very happy it worked out and hopefully, ours will turn out just as wonderful. Congratulations!

What a wonderful surprise to learn that you have eloped and in such a beautiful place! It looks like a lovely wedding and I can see why you wanted to do it this way. I do hope that I get back to Boston in time for the big party, though! Any idea yet when that will be? I wish you both the best, although that's nothing different from before you were married. I look forward to seeing you in September. Meanwhile I'm sweating it out in southern Taiwan. love to you both, alison Dear Joe and Justina,

As for the sweat--well, I've got a few pictures of Justina taking a sweat-blotting break halfway through the Rialto shoot. It was incredibly hot and muggy that day. :7 Well, Venice is a real city, and one without a lot of clothes dryers. :] That was a picture that we took with my pocket camera while we were walking to lunch afterwards.
