Britney Spears' mum Lynne has confessed that she panicked when told at the very last minute that her daughter's wedding was being brought forward. She has told reporters: "I know I've said we've had a whirlwind week before, but this one took the cake! We were all surprised!! And that's really saying something because it is very unlike Britney to be able to keep a secret. My first reaction was shock and then lingering thoughts of 'what about her dress?', 'what about the other plans?' and so on".
The last minute announcement of the wedding also caused problems for Britney's younger sister and bridesmaid Jamie Lynn. Spears' mother continues: "I started thinking about how Jamie Lynn was getting her hair done and would be late to the ceremony! It's quite a distance from the hair salon to the wedding site and we were all getting antsy, but then Jamie Lynn arrived and we hurried to get her ready".
But all's well that ends well: "There were happy tears and 'congratulations' all at the same time. I must say, even with all the unexpected, it was a very beautiful and intimate wedding ceremony. We had a brilliant wedding planner. I couldn't have been happier with how Britney and Kevin chose to do it".
