Travel Diary of

Holly Caputo and Mark Levine

On Their ElopementComposed by Jane Harris, Witness
aka Maid of Honor
aka Holly's best friend since first grade and
roommate since freshman year atParsons School of Design

Dear Holly and Mark,

Surprise!

I know neither one of you would bother to keep a record of your elopement, so I've decided to do it for
you! This way, when you're approaching your twentieth anniversary and your oldest kid has just
wrecked the Volvo and your youngest has just come home from her cushy Westchester private school
with head lice and the dog's thrown up all over the living room rug and, Holly, you're asking yourself why
you ever moved out of the righteous East Village pad we shared for so long, and, Mark, you're wishing
you'd stayed in resident housing down at St. Vincents, you can open this diary and go, "Oh, so THAT's
why we got married."

Because you two are the grooviest couple I know, and totally belong together, and I think eloping to
Italy is a BRILLIANT idea, even if you did steal it from Kate Mackenzie in Human Resources.

But she HAD to elope. I mean, with in-laws like hers? What CHOICE did she have?

But you two are doing it for the pure romance of the thing-not because you HAVE to, because both
your families are perfectly respectable.

Well, I guess there is thatteensy religion thing with your moms.

But whatever! They'll get over it.

Anyway, that's what makes your elopement so special.

And I plan to record every detail of that special-ness, starting now, before we even get on the plane.
Before I even meet you guys at the gate. Which, by the way, where ARE you, anyway? I mean, we were
supposed to get here three hours before our departure time. You know that, don't you? I mean, it says
that right on the ticket.For international travel, please arrive no later than three hours prior to departure
time.

So. Where are you guys?

I suppose I could email you on my new BLACKBERRY, but as you keep reminding me, Holly, it's for
WORK PURPOSES ONLY, which is the only reason the IT guys let you have them (thanks for mine,
by the way. I mean, it's nice of Tim and those guys to think of me, even though I don't exactly work
there anymore).

God, I hope nothing happened to you. I mean, on the way. People drive like maniacs on the
expressway.

Wait-you didn't change yourminds, did you? About getting married? Youcan't. That would be awful!
Just AWFUL! I mean, you two are so perfect for each other... not to mention, it would be totally unfair
to cancel on me. My first trip to Europe, and my travel companions ditch me? As it is, I can't even
believe I'm really doing it. Why did I wait so long? Who turns thirty without having been outside the
continental United States at least once in her life? No Paris with French class in the 11th grade. No
"Cabo" for Spring Break in college. What's wrong with me, anyway? Why am I such a
non-transcontinental flying freak?

And okay, seriously, what is with the guy with the cell phone over there? I mean, he's cute and
everything. But why is he yelling? We're going to Italy, dude. Italy! So chill.

Okay, ignore the guy on the cell phone. IGNORE THE GUY ON THE CELL PHONE. I can't believe
I'm wasting the first pages of your travel diary on him. Who cares about him? I'M GOING TO
EUROPE!

I mean, WE'RE going to Europe.

I think. If you two aren't lying in the twisted wreckage of your taxi to the airport on the Long Island
Expressway.

Let's just assume you were running a little late this morning and that you aren't dead.
