flower shop stories - a proposal

today i met with a bride and groom. lovely couple. when i asked the groom if he wanted to wear a boutonniere on his wedding day, he answered "i want what she wants." wow. off to a great start. i then asked him about the proposal. he proposed high above the earth, in a hot air balloon. i asked if he bent down on one knee inside the bucket. nope. too afraid to drop the ring, as he had heard of a couple who did just that and dropped the ring overboard. good lord, talk about needle in a haystack. i once flushed an engagement ring down the toilet. no other comment about that. yeah for lovely couples.
