This Bride Planned Her 100-Guest Wedding In Just 5 Days—And No, She Wasn’t Pregnant

When Emily Hardman called a wedding planner and told her she had just gotten engaged and that the wedding was a mere 5 days away, she got back a “choking cough” and a “Is this a joke?”

But it wasn’t a joke, and after the wedding planner recovered her wits (with the bride throwing in a “And no, I’m not pregnant.” in there), Hardman had her wedding luncheon planned for 5 days hence— in just about an hour on the phone.

Why the rush? Well, as Hardman explained in an article she wrote for the New York Times, she and her now-husband, Rob Reading, had known each other for four years and had been dating for one. Because of their crazy work and travel schedules, it was either “get married in a week or in a year,” and because they “already knew we wanted to spend eternity together,” they opted for the 5-day plan.
