This afternoon I arrived home after the post wedding lunch, and almost burst into fears.
Everything was finished, and I had such astonishingly contradictory emotions flowing through me.
On the one hand I was happy because all the planning for our wedding and the event itself had gone off without a hitch and l was now married to Simone.
On the flip side all my geographically diverse friends, whom I miss immensely at the best of times, had converged on me and had spent a few day with me. This had added a special additional glow to the days leading up to the wedding, but it also made my heart almost break to have to watch them all depart again, not certain when I would next see many of them.
The wrenching back and forward that this created left me tired and susceptible to a bout of blubbering, which eventually was what happened.
What can I say. I like my friends and I miss their company.
