Thanks all for the ~ma, especially WindSparrow, Laura, sj, and Shir. I really appreciate it. An update: the wedding went off, mostly without a hitch, and was just beautiful. I mostly was able to compartmentalize, and mostly to have a good time. Now, I've been in my hotel doing a combination of centering, working on my cousin's virtual memorial, and weeping; this, too, is good.
I cannot say how important it was for me to have someone I could tell about this, and how valuable your support is. Thank you all.
