While Vivienne Shuster no longer made assumptions about whose marriages would last, she could say with certainty that the bride and groom sitting across the conference-room table from her didnât appear to be the type who would maliciously smash cake in each otherâs faces.
Not that being a Junior Wedding Plannerâyes, her boss had actually put that title on Vivienneâs business cardsâin Kalispell, Montana, gave Vivienne any sort of sneak peek into the future, but it did give her an inside track as to how a couple navigated one of the most stressful events of their relationship. Because if they couldnât deal well with simple decisions like color schemes and invite lists, the pair was doomed when it came to handling the more important realities of life after the wedding glow burned out.
Listening intently, Vivienne nodded as she scribbled notes inside the brand-new binder sheâd started when Lydia Grant and Zach Dalton came into her office fifteen minutes ago. So far, Lydia was the ideal bride in that she was already eager to leave most of the details to Vivienne and seemed to be more excited over the prospect of getting married than the actual reception. In fact, the groom was the one whoâd scheduled the initial consultation in an effort to take some of the pressure of planning off his soon-to-be wife.
