Teen-age Debungle in Italy

Dear Jen and Tom,
I decided to have a destination wedding in Italy. It is my second wedding, and John and I have 3 kids between the two of us. We only invited our close friends and family since we both are older and come from small families. His oldest child is 16 so we decided to allow her best friend, who is very close with our family to come along. The two of the girls went on a shopping excursion, only a few blocks from us, so they could feel like adults. Well there is a reason 16 year-olds are not adults yet. They were “just talking” to two, gorgeous Italian boys, and somehow misplaced their wallets and passports. I was furious, and terrified. I was scared that they were going to be kept in captivity or something barbaric of the sort until we could prove who they were. Luckily it was only a very big headache later before my hubby got everything settled and the girls were allowed to come home with us, all on the same plane. We did have to push the flights back, but that is nothing compared to what I had going on in my head!

Lots of Love,
Cynthia from Nevada
