miles for events?
Ciao - just wondering if anyone knows of someone drowning in miles who would be interested in helping me get my family from the US to Italy for my wedding. It's a huge financial burden for us.
Thanks for any info!

Is this a joke?? Does she realize asking for points is like begging for money from strangers?? People have qualms about giving these to their own blood relatives.
Rachel- why don't you start by asking someone you may actually know??

Ft isn't a charity board, and if it were, there are legitimate charities to donate miles to.

as the saying goes the only question not asked is the stupid one>>??<<
I gotta give you credit on actually posting this question to total strangers.
An above poster is absolutely correct, why not ask for money.
Just a tip, dont bite off more than you can chew....
good luck to you on obtaining miles & your wedding.

If every FTer would just give me $100, I could take a year off and do nothing. Please help me realize my dream. Thank you!

I don't think this poster realizes who they're dealing with here. A lot of us would do anything to get miles and to think we'd just give them away. Ha! Best of luck on your marriage.
