Sometimes it happens. Some brides, especially those in the academic world, avoid getting overly caught up in their own wedding planning. This requires an immense trust of significant others (often mothers of the bride) to take care of details other brides with a bit more time on their hands would attend to.
No decent time management expert would recommend letting important details go completely into the hands of others, but some women have nerves of steel. One thing I have learned this summer: it's not for lack of caring.
There's a wonderful young woman who goes to graduate school in Massachusetts and lives in New York City and will be married in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts in a little over two weeks. She has a New York City wedding planner, yours truly as her officiant, and a mother-in-law to be in the Berkshires. Bingo! The latter is the key to peace of mind.
This young woman has had a grueling summer schedule. She has had an internship working from 8 AM to midnight daily. But now the dust is clearing: she will be finishing her job this Friday and completely free for the next two weeks. Her mother in law to be and the rest of her "team" are up and ready to pull all the rest together.
What I hear from this exhausted bride is gratitude and anticipation. Remember: if you have a great team and trust everyone on it, you can have nerves of steel yourself.
