My best friend from high school is getting married on Saturday. I’d actually fooled myself into thinking I wasn’t going to be that emotional on the day, contrary to all evidence, such as my history of crying at every wedding I’ve ever attended, even those of people I didn’t know particularly well (as in, employees of my father who I’d only met once).

Then, today, Antoine and I were walking back to our hotel, and I spotted the wedding venue - at which point, I almost burst into tears.

So I’m glad that I’ve managed to score some valium for the wedding day, since I’m certainly going to need it in order to get through my reading and the rest of the ceremony. “Only take a quarter of a pill,” someone advised me, “or half of one, max. Otherwise, you’ll feel really sleepy.” I’ll take sleepy and composed over wide awake and making a fool of myself any day. Then again, if that were true, would this blog exist?
