Wedding Case Study

The first known risk is the short duration that Lauren suggests should be used in preparation for the wedding. The wedding must be fixed on January 21, meaning that all development must be handled within this period. The first risk that would prevent the marriage from happening is that money would be involved in making things happen as needed. For instance, reducing the 14 days to 7 days of booking the church hall would require $200. Such costs are expensive in the long-term and would cut a huge portion of the wedding budget. Besides, plans made are bound to fail just like the lace and dress materials were lost, and the noticed received on January 10. It leaves no much room for adequate preparation as other measures must be used to get the wedding dress ready. All these actions point to poor planning. In the first case, everything was orally planned in the family, and even without the participation of others responsible for offering the essential services.

As a wedding planner, the first important thing I would do to ensure the wedding happens on January 21, is making a reservation to the Church Hall immediately, to leave enough room for decorations. Also, I would begin the printing of invitation cards immediately, order wedding dress lace and materials quickly, as well as any significant activity the next day after Lauren comes with the idea. Importantly, the wedding budget would include the hidden costs intended for speeding up the acquisition of any essential resources for the wedding. Notable, I would use the locally available funds for the wedding since they are readily accessible when needed. With these plans, Lauren would have the wedding on the predestined date.
