Beautiful melancholy post as usual. I'd give you more mojo if I could.

I love the sentiment - I hope everyone I've ever had contact with is ok today. A very kind wish indeed.

As for married couples and friendships...getting married did change my relationships with my friends, I won't deny that. But I still take the time to go hang out with my close, one-on-one friends without the ball and chain. It's not like GD wants to be around when I and my best girlfriend get together anyway. It may take some time after the ceremony itself, but eventually you can get her to be your Maggie again. Just invite her for some quality girl time.
