toast my best friend Alex and his new best friend, best woman, and wife, Sally, and to wish them luck and happiness and divorce in the future.
    To Alex and Sally!
    OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. WHAT DO YOU
    THINK, RUBY?
    You have an instant message from: RUBY
    Ruby:
    Gag gag puke puke puke. They’ll all love it. Good luck Rosie. No tears and DO NOT drink.
    To Rosie,
    Greetings from Seychelles! Rosie, thank you so much for last week! I had such a good time. I never really thought I could actually enjoy my wedding day but you made it so much fun. Don’t worry, I don’t think anyone noticed you were drunk for the entire ceremony (maybe they did for the speech—but it was funny), but I don’t think the priest was too impressed when you hiccupped just as I was about to say “I do!”
    I can’t quite remember the stag night but I hear it was a great success, the boys just keep going on and on about it. I think Sally is a little angry that she had to marry a man with one eyebrow and I don’t care what anybody says, I no it was you who did it! All the wedding photos are of the left side of my face but it doesn’t matter because Sally says it’s my best side. Unlike you, who says my best side is the back of my head.
    The wedding went really well, didn’t it? I thought I was going to be a bundle of nerves all day but you just made me laugh so much I think it helped to get rid of the nervous energy. Although we shouldn’t really have 74

    laughed when the wedding photos were being taken, I doubt we’ll find any decent shots where my face and yours aren’t distorted from laughter. Sally’s family thought you were really terrific. They weren’t really keen on the idea of me having a best woman, to be honest, but Sally’s dad thought you were great. Is it true you made him knock back a shot of tequila?!
    My mum and dad were so glad to see you and Katie. It’s funny; they say Katie is exactly how you looked when you were eight. I think Mum kind of kept hoping that it was you and that I was that age again too. She was very teary that day! But they just wouldn’t stop going on and on about how beautiful you looked in that dress! It’s as if you were the bride!
    But you did look beautiful, Rosie, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in a dress before (not since you were Katie’s age anyway). Well I suppose I would have seen you in one had I made it to the debs all those years ago. God, listen to me. I sound like an old man reminiscing on years gone by!
    Everyone said the best woman speech was brilliant, I think all my friends have a crush on you. And no, you can’t have their phone numbers. By the way Rosie, you were my best woman that day and you still are my best friend. Always will be. Just to let you no.
    Married life is going well so far. We’ve only been married ten days so we’ve only had let’s see . . . ten fights. I’m sure somebody told me that was healthy in a relationship . . . I’m not worried. The place we’re staying in is fabulous, which I’m glad about because it’s costing us an absolute fortune.
    We’re staying in this little wooden hut-type place that’s built on stilts high up over the water. It’s beautiful. The water is that turquoise green color that you can see through right down to the multicolored fish below. It’s paradise; you would love it. Now, this is the hotel you should work at Rosie. Imagine your office being the beach . . .
    I would just love to laze on the beach and drink cocktails all day, to be honest, but Sally always has to be doing something so every second I’m being dragged into the sea or I find myself flying in the sky hanging out of some odd contraption. I wouldn’t be surprised if she decides to eat our lunch while scuba-diving.
    Anyway I bought you and Katie presents so I hope they arrived to your house safely and that they weren’t crushed in the post. They’re supposed to love, rosie
