Hey, what do you guys think about this whole "don't stay together the night before the wedding" thing? I know that really we shouldn't have to be told this, that it should be obvious, but I must admit that my judgment may be clouded by all that LIVING IN SIN we've been up to for the past 2 years.

I, for one, do not want to be without him on the eve of Our Great Performance.

But I understand that anticipation is part of the experience. Even faked "this is going to be our first time having sex wa-HOO" anticipation.

W's family is all set for him to stay with them on Friday night. The thing is, I KNOW that I won't be able to sleep. Unless I'm heavily drugged, this is going to be an all-nighter. Since I've been on vacation from work and school I've been staying up all night anyway. I am biologically a bat. Or something. Anyway, I'm pretty resigned to the whole no-sleep thing. And at least if he were there I would have my favorite person to talk to...because I know that my mother is NOT going to want to talk to me at 3am on the eve of Her Great Culinary Achievement. And Andrew will probably be asleep. And everyone else is gainfully employed, blah blah blah.

Should I sacrifice? I know. I should. I will wish that he were there and that will make the next day's festivities all the more significant. And I think that he wants to do it that way. I shall ask him again.
