At this time of the year last year I was in a state of panic. It is natural to be in a panic before a wedding. It was the most important day of my daughter's life after all, and one of the most important days of mine. Everything had to be just right. I needed to know that everything was perfectly in order. Of course, I knew I was being irrational. Before a gala occasion of this importance, it is almost natural to be irrational. Nevertheless, I couldn't help myself. Everybody in my family told me to calm down, but it did not help. And then the bad news struck.
It seems that the flower arrangement has been messed up by the florist. Even though we gave him careful instructions. I am well aware that flower arrangements for weddings are among the most important decorative elements. They were the last thing that we picked out, and meant to reflect all the other elements. You see, flower arrangements for weddings don't stand alone. They have to match the bridesmaid dresses, the bridal gown, and the decorations of the room.
Nothing will look right if the flowers have not been taken in account. I had worried that the flower arrangements for weddings would not look right, but it did not even occur to me that the florist would screw up the order. I figured that it might look different once we got into the room and not reflect the other elements of the d?cor the way that I wished. But it was more than I could take when he screwed up at the very last minute.
It wasn't like the flower arrangements for the wedding were slightly off. They were plain old wrong. If the flower arrangements for weddings had been, say, a lighter shade of purple instead of the dark purple that I had chosen, it would have been alright. As it was, they were completely different. I presume that he mixed them up with some other flower arrangements for weddings ordered by some other wedding party. They were probably having the same deception that I was having at that moment. Instead of the dark violet floral bridal bouquet that we had desired, we are presented with a series of Calla lily arrangements. I think that calla lilies make very nice flower arrangements for weddings, but they didn't go along with anything. They clashed horribly. All the guests were polite about it, but I can't believe that nobody noticed. So, a little warning if I may, make double sure about the company you will be dealing with. Surprises are nice but not all the time.

Need advice
By: sherlyn23 | 25-08-2008
I am 27, have a 3yr old, and am unhappily married to a military man. I am very interested in a unhappily married man who is 49. We are co-workers, he is militray and i am civilian. Both of us have mentioned our interest of each other but because we are both married we cannot pursue anything. We know the reprecussions of an affiars divorce wise and also on the military aspect of it. His biggest reason for not pursuing it is also because we work together. I am crazy about him but am starting to lose him because I canot stand to not pursue anything. I am currently looking to move out of my house but like my job and want to keep it. Please keep in mind he has two daughters 24 & 20 that live in maine...I am sure that is a factor as well as the fact that I have a little one. We used to email all the time but recently almost got caught at work and ince then he has realy backed off talking to me. But I am just crazy about him, I want to see him..hear his thoughts, hes so smart and funny. Seriously thought about leaving my job because I cannot stand to see him everyday and not be with him. What can I do? I understand his reasonign for not pursuing it but I still cannot change my feelings for him.
