So, I've liked this guy very, very much for a long time, and now I'm hearing rumors that he's with someone...Tomorrow, I'm attending an event in which they will both be there, and I don't know how I'm going to handle seeing them together if the rumors are true...I'm not mad at either of them or bitter or anything, but I am extremely sad and disappointed...what can I do to help myself prepare for this?

You need to visualize your worst possible scenario at this function and how you can best react. Even if the only action you can do is to just to look the other way and pretend not to see them ... IF possible, smile brightly or even if possible say a cheerful hello.
Go with a group or at least one other person so you don't feel so singled out. Plus having people around you will provide a distraction. Locate the nearest private place should you start feeling yourself 'tear up'. You don't want to cause drama or draw attention to yourself.
Go in looking GREAT and feeling GREAT about yourself. I know, hard to do when you are in a funk about something. But spend the extra time on your hair, nails, make-up etc.
Accept the fact you will still be sad and disappointed, but don't get caught up in feeling sorry for yourself.
