Marc and Maria’s wedding was lovely. The celebrant had a great sense of humour and she involved Sofia and George in the ceremony.

George was Marc’s best man, wearing grey trousers and a waistcoat with a matching bow tie. Sofia was a bridesmaid along with Callie’s daughter, Esme, in silvery-grey dresses with sparkly bodices and big net skirts. Maria wore a simple but exquisite dress with silver detailing on the back and round the waist and Marc wore a grey three-piece suit with a pale pink cravat and pocket handkerchief.

The whole thing made me feel a little dreamy about doing it all again, one day, but with someone who actually loved me. Then I quickly forced that thought out of my mind. Never going to happen.

There weren’t any formal speeches. When we moved downstairs for a glass of bubbly, Marc and Maria each proposed a toast, then George and Sofia got in on the act and proposed their own. The two children were so adorable that I started imagining how it might be to have kids of my own. It was overpowering and I had to take a few minutes in the kitchen to get my act together. Marriage? Kids? Neither of those things were ever going to happen. I had some great friends who I’d finally (almost fully) let in, but I was never going to look for love again. Been there, done that, got the broken heart, bruised ego and emotional scars for life. Yes, I sometimes felt very alone but that’s how it had to be.
