Apparently Donna Kelce, the mother of the Superbowl star who is set to get hitched this Friday, is being kept in the dark about a lot of the plans – and she prefers it that way.
A source told the Daily Mail: ““They actually haven’t told Donna very much, she is just going with the flow. They’re letting her know where she needs to be and when she needs to be there. They have a driver for her.”
They added that this was routine for all their nearest and dearest: “That’s how it is with everybody, even the people really close to them. When they get to where they need to be, they’re told where they’re going next.”
They added that information has been shared on a ‘need to know’ basis among the guests: “So she doesn’t really know a lot about the plans, because she hasn’t been told. I think that’s their way of making sure that things aren’t leaked. Everyone is on a ‘need to know’ basis.
“I think she likes it that way. It’s not a stress. Travis told her what type of clothes she’d need and basically everything is going to be easy for her. She’s very excited to experience it as it happens, with some mystery along the way.”
The couple is going to great lengths to keep their big day as private as possible.
