Default Camellia help needed

Okay this is a little sensitive so please bear with me. My wife and I bought
two Camellia's about 6 weeks back. One was to go straight in to the ground
and the other in a pot. The one in the pot was to be very special to us as
it was in memoriam of our child that we lost at an early age.
However, I discovered last night to my horror that we have planted them the
wrong way round and that the one in the pot should be in the ground.
What is the best thing to do in regards to swapping them. If I swap them now
will it be too much of a shock to the plants and kill them both off? As you
can imagine losing the plants would devastate my wife right now.
