#25
 

This week is our 25th (silver) anniversary. I think of all of my life's accomplishments, finding a woman who would put up with me for 25 years ranks as #1.

Instead of the standard roses, this year I called a national florist chain (after their website would not allow me to enter the correct delivery date) and ordered an anniversary bouquet. They had 2 different anniversary bouquets, both called 'The anniversary bouquet' with similar product codes. Marci loved it, but when I got home I realized 'They had sent the wrong f***ing anniversary bouquet'. Call me crazy, but when you pick something to attach a very personal sentiment, you have a picture in your mind of how it should be. I had looked over both and picked out one that was unlike anything I had done in the past. It had roses, but it also had Stargazer lilys. It had complexity, texture, and what I hoped was a nice smell from the roses and lilys. I ordered a larger arrangement.

Instead I got a smaller arrangement with more roses and alstroemeria, a boring white flower, in a vase that I rejected because it reminded me of a funeral urn. I called them today and told them to fix it.

Now I know how bridezilla felt.

On a brighter note we had dinner with my parents to celebrate last weekend, Marci and I had dinner alone during the week, and we are having dinner with friends this weekend to celebrate.

Maybe I should change my Cellar name to 'The Silver Surfer'. Naah, I'd probably get sued.:p

Congratulations! I wish ya'll many more years of joy. It is a very big accomplishment, so few of us are so lucky. I agree with you about the flower arraignment, the 2nd one is nicer. I would demand that they correct the mistake too. But at least this way you're wife gets twice the amount!

Naah, they want to repo the flowers to make the exchange, assuming they can get the florist to fix the mistake.

I asked them what would they do if the local florist didn't want to fix the mistake, and they were noncommittal, saying maybe a refund. The funny thing is that I had specified 'no substitutions' to prevent this kind of mistake.

When the repo man comes, kick him in the cunt. :nadkick:

Or buttfuck him in the mouth. Either way.

Congratulations to you both!!!

25 years .... wow! Congratulations to you both.

Forget the fool florists. Don't stress over the small stuff.

Congrats to you both!!! :)

Congratulations, and may you have many more happy anniversaries down the road.

Many, many congratulations.
You've created something wonderful together that has stood the test of time.

I look forward to congratulating you on your Ruby Anniversary!

Happy anniversary, rich and wife!

The Cellar is full of good news this morning! Congratz to you both !!1!

Congrats Rich and Mrs. Rich.

ps, stay out of the humor thread for a little while

Congrats!

Flowers?

If me and the DH make it 25 years, there'd better be a friggin' YACHT on the front lawn, not a measly vase of flowers.

Kidding. ;) Ten to go!

Seriously, congratulations!
