*pencils in 2 March, 8AM CST (=2PM GMT).* You have too little faith. I give it until mid-May at least, especially if lasagne-making attempts are successful.

Okay, I'd booked the church and told my parents. My dad was okay with it but my mum said she'd only give her blessing if you were Irish and Roman Catholic. Acting instinctively, I converted you to Catholicism (I have a bottle of holy water for you) and changed your name from Guihong to Gráinne. Hope that's okay.


We were all ready for the marriage and I was looking forward to it


And then I read the above words of betrayal - "My heart will always be in Cl***land".


Those words are like a dagger through the heart to me - even the word "Cl***land" (I cannot even type it out in full as it is too painful) is enough to render me emotionally impotent as it was in that city that Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak was ended on July 17 1941.


I'm just so glad I found out about this before March 2nd. The wedding is now called off ***



*** that said, I think that the conversion to Catholicism was bone fide. Therefore, I hope to see you at mass later today.
