Good Romance


These were the flowers that my husband brought me on our anniversary. He explained to the florist what he wanted, lilies and orchids and roses that would echo the flowers I carried on the day we were married. The florist asked, "So how many years is this for you?"and my husband replied,  "Twenty-five years ago, you did the flowers." Yes, he went back to the same florist. His eyes were dancing as he related the exchange. He is romantic like that. And the blooms were perfect.

    wonderfully romantic, in the broader sense (the same florist!) and in the very personal sense. here's to 25, 50 more!

    Congratulations on the milestone. Marriages are such fragile and strong things. What is it they are like? So susceptible to nano-storms (mostly in our own heads) and yet mighty arks that journey across oceans of time. Eggs maybe - very strong in the longitude and surprisingly weak to a random knock.

    Best wishes and many more milestones, Isabel xx

    I can't believe he remembered the flowers from twenty-five years ago. You must be quite something to make such an impression on him. I know you are.

    This is lovely.
