Problem : CASE THE CAMPUS WEDDING (B)

Several complications arose during the course of trying to meet the deadline of April 21 for the Adams-Jackson wedding rehearsal. Because Mary Jackson was adamant about having the wedding on April 22 (as was Larry Adams, because he wanted her to be happy), the implications of each of these complications had to be assessed.

1. On April I the chairman of the Vestry Committee at the church was left unimpressed by the added donation and said he wouldn't reduce the notice period from 17 to 10 days.

2. A call to Guatemala revealed that the potential bridesmaid had several commitments and could not possibly leave the country until April 10.

3. Mother came down with the four-day flu just as she started on the guest list.

4. The lace and dress materials were lost in transit. Notice of the loss was delivered to the

Jackson home early on April 10.

5. There was a small fire at the caterer's shop on April 8. It was estimated that the shop would be closed two or three days for repairs.

Mary Jackson's father, in particular, was concerned about expense and kept offering $1,500 to Mary and Larry for them to elope.
