\nThe \u201cNow\u201d Wedding\u2014Part A* On December 31 of last year, Lauren burst into the family living room and announced that she and Connor (her college boyfriend) were going to be married. After recovering from the shock, her mother hugged her and asked, \u201cWhen?\u201d The following conversation resulted: Lauren: January 21. Mom: What? Dad: The Now Wedding will be the social hit of the year. Wait a minute. Why so soon? Lauren: Because on January 30 Connor, who is in the National Guard, will be shipping out overseas. We want a week for a honeymoon. Mom: But, Honey, we can\u2019t possibly finish all the things that need to be done by then. Remember all the details that were involved in your sister\u2019s wedding? Even if we start tomorrow, it takes a day to reserve the church and reception hall, and they need at least 14 days\u2019 notice. That has to be done before we can start decorating, which takes 3 days. An extra $200 on Sunday would probably cut that 14-day notice to 7 days, though. Dad: Oh, boy! Lauren: I want Jane Summers to be my maid of honor. Dad: But she\u2019s in the Peace Corps in Guatemala, isn\u2019t she? It would take her 10 days to get ready and drive up here. Lauren: But we could fly her up in 2 days and it would only cost $1,000. Dad: Oh, boy! Mom: And catering! It takes 2 days to choose the cake and decorations, and Jack\u2019s Catering wants at least 5 days\u2019 notice. Besides, we\u2019d have to have those things before we could start decorating. Lauren: Can I wear your wedding dress, Mom? Mom: Well, we\u2019d have to replace some lace, but you could wear it, yes. We could order the lace from New York when we order the material for the bridesmaids\u2019 dresses. It takes 8 days to order and receive the material. The pattern needs to be chosen first, and that would take 3 days. Dad: We could get the material here in 5 days if we paid an extra $20 to airfreight it. Oh, boy! Lauren: I want Mrs. Jacks to work on the dresses. Mom: But she charges $48 a day. Dad: Oh, boy! Mom: If we did all the sewing we could finish the dresses in 11 days. If Mrs. Jacks helped we could cut that down to 6 days at a cost of $48 for each day less than 11 days. She is very good, too. Lauren: I don\u2019t want anyone but her.page 352 Mom: It would take another 2 days to do the final fitting and 2 more days to clean and press the dresses. They would have to be ready by rehearsal night. We must have rehearsal the night before the wedding. Dad: Everything should be ready rehearsal night. Mom: We\u2019ve forgotten something. The invitations! Dad: We should order the invitations from Bob\u2019s Printing Shop, and that usually takes 7 days. I\u2019ll bet he would do it in 6 days if we slipped him an extra $20! Mom: It would take us 2 days to choose the invitation style before we could order them and we want the envelopes printed with our return address. Lauren: Oh! That will be elegant. Mom: The invitations should go out at least 10 days before the wedding. If we let them go any later, some of the relatives would get theirs too late to come and that would make them mad. I\u2019ll bet that if we didn\u2019t get them out until 8 days before the wedding, Aunt Ethel couldn\u2019t make it and she would reduce her wedding gift by $200. Dad: Oh, boy!! Mom: We\u2019ll have to take them to the Post Office to mail them and that takes a day. Addressing would take 3 days unless we hired some part-time girls and we can\u2019t start until the printer is finished. If we hired the girls we could probably save 2 days by spending $40 for each day saved. Lauren: We need to get gifts for the bridesmaids. I could spend a day and do that. Mom: Before we can even start to write out those invitations we need a guest list. Heavens, that will take 4 days to get in order and only I can understand our address file. Lauren: Oh, Mom, I\u2019m so excited. We can start each of the relatives on a different job. Mom: Honey, I don\u2019t see how we can do it. Why, I\u2019ve got to choose the invitations and patterns and reserve the church and . . . Dad: Why don\u2019t you just take $3,000 and elope? Your sister\u2019s wedding cost me $2,400 and she didn\u2019t have to fly people up from Guatemala, hire extra girls and Mrs. Jacks, use airfreight, or anything like that. The \u201cNow\u201d Wedding\u2014Part B Several complications arose during the course of trying to meet the deadline of January 20 for the \u201cNow\u201d wedding rehearsal. Since Lauren was adamant on having the wedding on January 21 (as was Connor for obvious reasons), the implications of each of these complications had to be assessed. On January 1 the chairman of the Vestry Committee of the church was left unimpressed by the added donation and said he wouldn\u2019t reduce the notice period from 14 to 7 days. Mother came down with the 3-day flu as she started working on the guest list January 2. Bob\u2019s Printing Shop press was down for 1 day on January 5 in order to replace faulty brushes in the electric motor. The lace and dress material were lost in transit. Notice of the loss was received on January 10. Could the wedding still take place on January 21? If not, what options were available?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
