In 5 weeks, I'll be heading to Las Vegas, to watch my dear friend Kerryan (from the UK) marry Michelle (an American). It will be my 2nd Las Vegas wedding. The first one, I was best man. This one, I'm just a guest, and glad to be.
I spoke to him last week at some length. He knows me well, and helped me see a few things in a clearer way than I had been, and I feel since then my depression has started to turn a corner. Its good, cos I had a collapse 2 weeks ago that was debilitating, and I couldn't see a way out.
That's what friends are for. They show us the light in the dark times.
Had Kerryan not been getting married, I'd have almost certainly lived with him at first when I move back to the UK. Doesn't seem right now. Gotta let my guy settle in with his amazing new wife.
I've not met Michelle in person. She's a few years younger than me, whereas she's 16 years older than Kerryan. They met online, I think, and both think they are perfectly matched. I'm really looking forward to meeting her.
As for the wedding, I'm also looking forward to meeting some of Michelle's friends. Not that I anticipate any liaisons or anything. It's just that Michelle has been a model/stripper in Vegas for 20+ years, and many of her friends will have also been in the industry. I reckon a bit of harmless flirting is just the boost I need.
