She did not have an assistant do it.

She did not send an email.

She told me, months later, that she had thought about sending an email for about an hour and had decided against it because she works in that industry and those eleven people were going to find out anyway and she was not going to have them find out from each other.

So she called the venue, and the band, and the florist, and the linen company, and the photographer, and the rest, and she said the same sentence eleven times, which she has told me and which was: I’m cancelling the seventh of March.

It’s personal, it’s not negotiable, and I’m not asking for the deposits back.

Nine of the eleven returned them anyway.
