Bump in the road

My sweet friend who was making the cake of my dreams as a gift for my wedding broke her foot in 2 places Monday. I feel horrible for her. She is upset because she was making the cake and transporting it to me, 6 hrs away. I do not want her to feel that way. She said she would still be able to make the cake because she didn't want to put me in a situation. Instead of the detailed cake we had originally picked, I felt maybe a naked cake would be easier. I have to assemble the cake once it arrives, via her son. He is friends with my older son and was planning on coming anyway. I am kind of nervous about this and how it will turn out. I guess I am more nervous about placing the tiers on top of one another. I will decorate it very simply. I don't want my friend to worry or stress either. Also my husbands suit is next door at a store attached to my work place. I checked last week to see if the alterations were done and they were not. Now, I get to work Monday and there is a sign saying they will be closed this entire week. Soooo, I have to wait until Monday morning to see if the alterations are done or not, then get the suit to the cleaners to be pressed. It's a linen suit so I just need it lightly pressed because there were already wrinkles in it. Other than these 2 obstacles...my wedding is in 9 days. Surely I can stack the tiers on the cake and secure with dowels. Anyone who makes cakes...do you place the tiers on the layer with the cardboard?? I am going to watch some YouTube videos but I have no clue. I know in the end everything will be ok. Al's suit hopefully will be tailored and ready to go Monday. There will be no time to rent now so that will not be an option. My husband in my Rock and keeps me so grounded. He doesn't stress about a thing.
