Need to make a vow renewal bouquet on vacation?!?

I am getting my vows renewed and have decided I am carrying a beautiful perfectly suitable small hand tied bouquet. I need instructions on how to make one, how to pick flowers for one and how on earth do I get flowers when I am on vacation! I checked most of the stores and cannot count on them having good flowers or any flowers, as they said they have them "from time to time". Florist's flowers will be too expensive, I don't like silk, my husband doesn't either (he wants it to be special and meaningful and silk to him doesn't seem appropriate) and I don't want to spend my vacation time doing things like shopping all across town for a bouquet.

I checked the places that send you flowers and they are really expensive too! But in the long run, if I could afford it, I would totally go that route. I would most appreciate answers from people who have actually made their own bouquets instead of links online, but will take those, cause I can't find any!?

Need to make a vow renewal bouquet on vacation?!?
I don't recommend you picking flowers, unless you have a green thumb. The way to go would be to buy string or bands from a local crafts store, such as Michael's, and go to a local supermarket in your area that sells flowers in bouquet or inexpensive vase arrangements form; and select whatever flowers you wish. Then go home and use the bands or string to tie the flower stems together after you have cut the stems so that they are no more than 8 inches in length and appropriate for a bouquet. Be sure to cut the stems in a diagonal; and until the time of the ceremony, keep the arrangement in the refrigerator, if you wish they can be kept in a bowl of water filled to no more than half an inch in depth with water while kept in the fridge. Wrap with and tie pink ribbon to the bottom of the arrangement; and cover the sharp part of the stems with cellophane or saran wrap which you should adhere with two-sided clear tape. CONGRATS.
Reply:For my wedding we went to the wholesale warehouse and bought boxes of flowers and supplies. I lucked out that one of my guests, (very good Friend), worked in a flower shop and she made my bouquets. I had all white roses with some yellow roses thrown in for spice. My girls had light blue hydrangeas with yellow roses pulled through the top. send me an email at salesadmin@optimumpower.com and I will send you pictures of the bouquets. They were very easy to make and took no time. Bonus, to save time on your vaca take some ribbon - two different sizes and some floral tape and a pair of scissors. That will help to start with.

5. When preparing a bouquet, a florist can choose from 7 roses, 6 carnations, %26amp; 4 chrysanthemums. how many bouquets can the florist make if the bouquet must have at least one flower?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! :)

Problem solving with combinations?
Most of the answers have a -1 at the end to indicate you can't have 0 of any of these. If you can have zero of all items, take off the -1.

1.9c4 ways to choose the boys and 6c3 ways to select the girls. So (9c4) * (6c3)

2. He can purchase 9 or 8 or 7 or... or 1:

9c9 + 9c8 + 9c7 + ... + 9c1 =

(sum from N=0 to 9 of 9cN)

3. [1c1 + 1c0]*[1c1 + 1c0] * [4c4 + 4c3 + ... + 4c0] * [1c1 + 1c0] - 1

4. She can put [12c12 + 12c11 +...+12c0] * [4c4+4c3+...+4c0] * [6c6 + 6c5 + ... + 6c0] - 1

5. [7c7 + 7c6 + ... + 7c0] * [6c6 + 6c5 + ... + 6c0] * [4c4 + 4c3 + ... + 4c0] - [7c0*6c0*4c0].

(that last part 7c0*6c0*4c0 is just = 1 since there is only 1 way to not have any flowers.)

Islam will win godless West without war or bombs, first Muslim son Obama in USA, then mosques in Europe?true?

after Kenyan Muslim son %26amp; Indonesian Muslim stepson Barack Hussein Obama wins USA Presidency this November, will Islam win over the rest of Europe since many Westerners are godless agnostics and not producing kids too, so Muslims can migrate all over Europe and USA to help save Western civilization from godlessness and moral decay? long live Barack Hussein Obama, will this be the cry of celebration of all Muslims of the world if he wins against Hillary Clinton and wins Nov. election?

more Muslim mosques for Europe and USA? Obama said he will pull out USA troops immediateky in Iraq, another victory for militant pure Islam?

Germany's Biggest Mosque Spurs Fear of `Islamization' of Europe

By Seda Sezer

April 3 (Bloomberg) -- The twin spires of Germany's largest Gothic cathedral will soon be joined on the Cologne skyline by the minarets of the country's biggest mosque.

The $23 million Ehrenfeld Central Mosque, scheduled to be completed in about two years, will help bring Islam out of the back streets and reduce the influence of radicals, Mayor Fritz Schramma says. Others see the building as a symbol of Islamic extremism and further evidence that Cologne's 120,000 Muslims, more than half of them Turkish immigrants, refuse to integrate.

``I pray at the little chapel next to the Cologne Cathedral, and my prayer doesn't become more valuable if I pray in the big cathedral,'' said Laszlu Reischl, 56, a taxi driver. ``I don't understand why they insist on building a big mosque.''

The controversy reflects Germany's struggle over almost five decades to incorporate its largest ethnic minority. Tensions were revived in February when Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Turks at a Cologne rally that ``assimilation is a crime against humanity.'' Some lawmakers who oppose mostly Muslim Turkey's bid to join the European Union accused him of preaching Turkish nationalism on German soil.

Cologne has Germany's highest concentration of Muslims, at 12 percent of the population. The new mosque will be built in the immigrant district of Ehrenfeld, about two miles from the 13th- century Cologne Cathedral.

The 53,800-square-foot building will fit 1,200 worshippers. It will replace a converted pharmaceutical warehouse that has housed the mosque since 1984 and holds about half as many people. Many spill into the parking lot during Friday prayers.

Permanently Here

``When our fathers came here, they rented the least expensive place to pray,'' says Mehmet Gunet, legal adviser to the Cologne-based Turkish Islamic Union for Religious Affairs. ``We are permanently here and we want more beautiful prayer houses.''

German architect Paul Boehm, who has worked on local churches, won a contest to design the mosque. The building consists of curved concrete walls connected to a central dome by glass to convey openness and transparency.

The two 55-meter (180 feet) minarets will be about a third as high as the cathedral spires. The complex will also house offices, restaurants and shops.

``We want to show that Muslims can live in peace in a society,'' Gunet says. ``We are coming out of hidden places and saying, `We are here, you can come and look in.'''

`Parallel Society'

The Islamic Union, a group of Imams and theologians appointed by the Turkish government's Religious Affairs authority, is awaiting final planning approval and expects construction to begin in June.

Opposition to the mosque has been spearheaded by the Pro Cologne citizens initiative, which holds five seats in the town parliament. Over the past two years, the group has circulated petitions and leaflets and held rallies against the project.

The mosque will allow local Turks to slip further into a ``parallel society,'' where many don't even speak German, says Manfred Rouhs, a Pro Cologne representative.

``It's a symbol of Islamization in Europe and the failure of integration,'' Rouhs says. ``It's a danger to our European way of living.''

About 60 percent of Cologne residents oppose a large mosque with minarets, according to a July survey by Koelner Stadt- Anzeiger, the city's biggest newspaper.

Headscarf Hairdresser

Turks first came to Germany in the 1960s, when they were invited in to help ease a postwar labor shortage. There are about 3 million ethnic Turks in Germany today.

On Ehrenfeld's main shopping street, some Turkish stores offer special services, such as the hairdresser with private rooms for women with headscarves. A barber provides Turkish tea fresh from the samovar, an urn traditionally used to heat water.

Uneasiness about the mosque reflects Germany's ``Islamophobia, racism and xenophobia,'' says Mehmet Yildirim, general secretary of the Islamic Union.

``This society didn't have much of a relationship with different cultures and religions in the past, and they have prejudices and worries,'' Yildirim says.

Mayor Schramma says the mosque will help build trust and public acceptance of Islam.

``What Erdogan meant was assimilation by force, and we don't have that here in Germany,'' he says. ``We want to end the separation, but it must not come from the top down.''

Speak German

The Islamic Union has been open to negotiation, agreeing to reduce the size of the prayer area, to conduct the prayer call through indoor speakers, and to offer half of the shops to German business owners, Schramma says.

``The next step is that the language in the mosque in time will be German,'' the mayor says. ``The second- and third- generation, which were born here, should be ready to accept that as their mother language.''

Claus Moskopp, 52, an Ehrenfeld florist, points out that the minarets won't even be as high as the nearby 243-meter Deutsche Telekom AG tower.

``We had this mosque here as it is for a long time and no one said anything, but minarets bother people,'' he says. ``It doesn't bother me because the minarets will match the city landscape.''

Islam will win godless West without war or bombs, first Muslim son Obama in USA, then mosques in Europe?true?
The greatest fear the radical Islamists should have regarding their cause, is the day the good old boys in the US of A decide to play cowboys and radicals.

Tom Brady lives in Manhattan... that's got to hurt Pats fans...?

Instead of getting crazy like most Pats fans, buying gear and counting the days with them... BRADY is in New York City enjoying better pizza, better world class restaurants, hanging with a Brazilian model in their lower Manhattan apt., walking to florists and amazing food stores and little shops, nuzzling while they hold her tiny handheld terrier-dog... and taking in everything that's New York... ah, it's like we have 2 quarterbacks in ONE Super Bowl... and both of them will help the Giants win. CAN'T WAIT.

Smokey the Bear?

There was once a monk who liked to peddle flowers in front of a large shopping establishment. He was a very annoying fellow, who would constantly beseech you to buy his flowers, and when you refused he would curse you with all the fire and brimstone he could muster.

This was very annoying to the patrons of the shopping center and they began to take their business elsewhere. The businessmen became upset, because this fellow was driving away all the shoppers.

One day, one of them got an idea. He ran off to the cattle yard and purchased a lamb. He came back, climbed to the roof of the building, and threw the lamb over the side, killing the monk below as he was selling flowers. The other business men came up to him and asked, "Why did you do that?!"

He replied, "I had to. Only ewes can stop florist friars."

Prom Corsage - help?

So I'm buying a corsage for my date. I know its going to be pink roses. So the florists in town charge like $35, but like if i go to Stop and Shop, its like $15-20. I don't want her to feel bad if i get the smaller one esp. cuz prom means a lot to her. But does it really matter? maybe i'm overthinking this...

Prom Corsage - help?
use the florist route. call several for info on whats is the most requested choices and try to get one that goes with the colors of her dress and skin tone think about her hair color too flowers come in a wide variety of colors . orchids are expensive but beautiful and something of a status symble. never go for the bargain buys, this is a special occasion, not something for everyday.
Reply:the price may differ, but its more about the quality. If the $35 one is better, get that. Also you can feel good about getting the best one for her. I had the same problem and i did the florist one and it was sooo much better.

Please...need help its for my Business studies coursework..

have no time to ask a florist..

im desperate!

Need help...badly!?
I believe they do go every day, very early in the morning when the floral markets open so that they can get the freshest and most desirable flowers. Often they need specific flowers for contracted arrangements, like weddings, funerals, proms, etc., and daily trips are required because fresh flowers don't stay fresh very long.

Here's some more information on Florists that might come in handy, from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook section on florists: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos292.htm

Significant Points

Job opportunities should be good because of relatively high replacement needs stemming from low starting pay and limited advancement opportunities

.

Floral design is the only design specialty that does not require formal postsecondary training.

Many floral designers work long hours on weekends and holidays, filling orders and setting up decorations for weddings and other events.

About 1 out of 3 is self-employed.

Nature of the Work

Floral designers, or florists, cut live, dried, or silk flowers and other greenery and arrange them into displays of various sizes and shapes. They design these displays by selecting flowers, containers, and ribbons and arranging them into bouquets, corsages, centerpieces of tables, wreaths, and the like for weddings, funerals, holidays, and other special occasions. Some floral designers also utilize accessories such as balloons, candles, toys, candy, and gift baskets as part of their displays.

Job duties can vary by type of employment setting. Most floral designers work in small independent floral shops that specialize in custom orders and also handle large orders for weddings, caterers, or interior designers. Floral designers may meet with customers to discuss the arrangement or work from a written order. They note the occasion, the customer’s preferences, the price of the order, the time the floral display or plant is to be ready, and the place to which it is to be delivered. For special occasions, floral designers usually will help set up floral decorations. Floral designers also will prearrange a few displays to have available for walk-in customers or last-minute orders. Some floral designers also assist interior designers in creating live or silk displays for hotels, restaurants, and private residences.

Some florists work in the floral departments of grocery stores or for Internet florists, which specialize in creating prearranged floral decorations and bouquets. These floral retailers also may fill small custom orders for special occasions and funerals, but some grocery store florists do not deliver to clients or handle large custom orders. Florists who work for wholesale flower distributors assist in the selection of different types of flowers and greenery to purchase and sell to retail florists. Wholesale floral designers also select flowers for displays that they use as examples for retail florists.

Self-employed floral designers must handle the various aspects of running their own businesses, such as selecting and purchasing flowers, hiring and supervising staff, and maintaining financial records. Self-employed designers also may run gift shops or wedding consultation businesses in addition to providing floral design services. Some conduct design workshops for amateur gardeners or others with an interest in floral design.

Working Conditions

Most floral designers work in comfortable, well-lit spaces in retail outlets or at home, although working outdoors is sometimes required. Designers also may frequently make short trips delivering flowers, setting up arrangements for special events, and procuring flowers and other supplies.

Floral designers have frequent contact with customers and must work to satisfy their demands, including last-minute holiday and funeral orders. Because many flowers are perishable, most orders cannot be completed too far in advance. As a result, some designers often work long hours before and during holidays. Some also work nights and weekends to complete large orders for weddings and other special events.

Floral designers may suffer muscle strain from long periods of standing and from repeated finger and arm movements required to make floral arrangements. They are susceptible to back strain from lifting and carrying heavy flower arrangements. Designers also may suffer allergic reactions to certain types of pollen when working with flowers. In addition, they frequently use sharp objects—scissors, knives, and metal wire—that can cause injuries if handled improperly.
Reply:I don't know how often florist buy flowers I would think this would depend on the individual business. But I do know that most of their flowers go into a frige like cooler that set at like 55 degrees which keeps the flowers from drying out and dying.

Are the Old Messages of Rebellion and Change being Rebranded to Corrupt and Trivialize their Meanings?

I watch in continuing amazement as another protest song from the 1960's assails me in the form of piped Muzak in a shopping mall. "Where have all the flowers gone" at the florist.

One of the most popular bands in the 1990s in the Uk advocated "girl power"

here is some of what they sung:

"Yo I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,

So tell me what you want, what you really really want,

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really

really really wanna zigazig ha. "

The defining album of "girl power" is wanting "zigazig ha"

Is this an illustration of how consumerism conspires to quell opposition. Take the leading edge method, remove most of the meaning from it, and market it as "edgy and rebellious"?

When it means next to nothing?

Are the Old Messages of Rebellion and Change being Rebranded to Corrupt and Trivialize their Meanings?
I hate to trot out a cliche, but it was different in the 60s, and NOT in a bad way. Basically speaking, the 60s was the decade with the most "be different" mentality, as opposed to the 00s "be the same". "Zigazig ha" can mean anything you want it to, but a 12-year-old can still buy the CD. Do you know how long it took me, and I'm laughing at myself here, to figure out that "Little Red Corvette" had nothing to do with a car?

Consumerism, almost by definition, DOES quell opposition. Everyone has to have the same thing, everyone has to be cool, but there has to be just enough "difference" among all the "samenesses" for people to think they are being individuals. So, add a guitar or 3, take away a violin or 2, and you can write the same song for any number of musical genres (just to follow your musical analogy).

AND Consumerism as seen above is doing its best to also quell any new messages of rebellion and change. When people think Fallout Boy and Slipknot are "rebellion" we've got a long way to go. Rebellion is best led, sorry all, by the intelligent rather than something that is allowed (and I do mean allowed) to go mainstream. Lennon was no dummy.
Reply:What about Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" (?)

I at least understand what that means. (Then, she also wrote, True Colors.) I don't get zigazig ha!

I don't think these are the same messages.

I loved John Lennon's "Imagine." I haven't heard anything like that, recently.

Perhaps, we have all become trivial and don't care about anything beyond our own zig or frig. Appears so.

C. :)!!
Reply:hahaha...my son was so enamored with the spice girls when he was six or so that one of my pet names for him was stinky spice. thank you for tapping into that most pleasant memory, we laughed for days.

ahem, allow me to gather my composure. i don't think that we can seriously compare the spice girls with the likes of john lennon, joan baez, or bob dylon. consider if you will the demographics. those who appreciated the lyrics of rebellious artists were more likely to be of legal voting age. further, their music wasn't really mainstream. people buying into that genre were generally on the fringe and welcomed representation of their already formed views. if these icons of past generations have modern peers i am not aware of them. if you are please share.
Reply:Your question incorrectly assumes that the inexplicably capitalized "Old Messages of Rebellion and Change" weren't trivial to begin with.

Boutonnieres: Florists vs Grocery Stores?

Hi,

I'm getting a boutonniere for my prom date and was wondering your opinions on whether I should go to a grocery store (Big Y) or a floral shop to buy it. I know that grocery stores tend to be cheaper, but how does the quality compare? Thanks

Boutonnieres: Florists vs Grocery Stores?
Florist if you want quality

Grocery store if you're short on money.

Go to the florist though, I mean it's your prom. It'd suck to have a gorgeous dress and have tacky grocery store flowers lol :)

platform flip flops

REALLY dumb question?

When shopping for a boutonniere...?

and corsage...is it alright if my boyfriend and I go into the florist together? Or are we not supposed to do that? lol I feel so dumb asking but I've never done this before!!

REALLY dumb question?
It's not a dumb question at all...It's your choice. If you go to the florist with him it would be really fun and you could pick them together...However, if you let him go by himself he can surprise you on the special night! He can show his love for you by picking a beautiful corsage. It would be so exciting to be waiting to see what it will look like. If you have him go make sure he knows the color of your dress though and good luck!!!
Reply:It all depends on how you want to do it Theres no wrong way of shopping.

Some people like to be surprised and be like "Wow, look at this beautiful corsage that my boyfriend picked out all by himself! :DDD"

And some people like to go to make SURE that they get it right.

And shopping together could be fun. :]

Its all personal preference.
Reply:You do not have to feel dumb - if you've never done it, how are you going to know?

It is perfectly fine for both of you to go together and pick out matching floral decorations. A long time ago, these items were given as gifts and that's why the men would generally pick out their girl's and the girl her guys. They aren't gifts anymore, so ya'll can pick them out together.

Have fun!
Reply:yes that is okay, but this is what i would do...

i would go into the florist with him, but tell him that I want him to pick it out for me, and that I want it to be a surprise. Then I would wait outside and when he brought it for me, i would be really excited and hug and kiss him. :)
Reply:are you kidding me... is it a wedding? Because the only thing you really should never take that special someone shopping for is a wedding dress. Stop being a crazy person and just take him if you want to or don't if you wish to go shopping by yourself.
Reply:No, you do not go shopping for it together. The guy is supposed to get it without you, and surprise you with it.
Reply:Uhhhhhhhh.

There. A REALLY dumb answer for your REALLY dumb question. Which wasn't actually that dumb. Yes it is alright.
Reply:I think its supposed to be a surprise. As long as you know what eachother is wearing it shouldnt be a problem to get one for eachother.
Reply:Its Okay if you do that, its sweet too, but don't MAKE him, if he doesn't want to, don't try to make him.
Reply:its no big deal going to the florist lol men are allowed in there hey doesnt that make it okay for them to walk into victoria secrets lol anyways
Reply:sure you can go together! This will make it all that much more fun!
Reply:I believe its traditional for him to chose by himself. You could hint to him ones you like but final say should be his.
Reply:These days it's perfectly fine to go pick them out together.
Reply:I don't think there's any wrong or right way to do this. Start a trend: but the flowers with or without your boyfriend. Have fun and don't stress it.
Reply:i think it would be better to suprise each other. but just make sure you no the basic color each of you are wearing so that the flowers wont clash.
Reply:yes. its best if you go together. fine the colors of your dress. his tux. to match it
Reply:It is ok cause you want the colors and flowers to match.
Reply:it's perfectly fine to go together these days.
Reply:No that isn't a stupid question. Yes you two can go into together. It's fine. Have fun.
Reply:It is all for fun. Going together is sweet.
Reply:HOLY CRAP! The Undertaker just lost to Edge in a TLC match!!! Now he's gone from the WWE!!!!

NOOOOOO!!!!!!

Reply:yeah, it's not a wedding dress, or an engagement ring, so go for it. no big deal.

A couple of girlfriends?

A couple of girlfriends of mine (a blonde and a brunette of course) Were out shopping and they passed the florists.

They looked through the window, and the brunette said "Oh my God, that's my boyfriend inside and he's buying me flowers"

"What's wrong with that ?" said the blonde "Don't you like flowers ?"

"Oh yes of course I do" said the brunette "but he will have expectations......"

"... and the last thing I want to do is spend the whole weekend on my back with my legs in the air"

"Why ?" said the blonde "Don't you have vase ?"

Any idea where to start looking for an arch?

My wedding is going to be in a backyard now so I need to pull everything together. I've only seen one arch at a craft shop for about $20 but it was really cheap %26amp; flimsy. Where else do you go for that? Has anyone seen them at Home Depot, etc.? I couldn't find any on the website. I'm still keeping my florist who will be decorating the arch with a large center spray on top %26amp; some tool for the sides so it doesn't have to be incredible or anything. It's not really going to show. But, I also don't want it falling apart. Any ideas?

Any idea where to start looking for an arch?
check for party rental companies in your area. Everywhere has them and you can rent a wedding arch from them if you don't like the one from the store.

Honestly though, I know it looks flimsy in the store but it also isn't anchored properly. It wont' fall down or anything so unless you're getting marred in a hurricane you should be fine.
Reply:Yes, Home Depot has them (look in the garden section); also, E-bay might be the place to look.
Reply:I saw some thru oriental trading.
Reply:http://www.wrapwithus.com/wedding-arches...

I found theses ones and we might be getting one of them just because it comes with lights and stuff and we can decorate it however we want. B y the way we like the one that is for 30 or whatever it was.
Reply:My mother got a beautiful one from Canadian Tire (I'm from Canada). Check out websites like Home Depot or Sears. I'm sure you will find some. Also, Michaels had a really pretty one (here) but it was quite expensive.
Reply:Instead of spending $20 on an arch you may only use once, you can rent a strong arch from your local rental store. Check the yellow pages for Rental Service Stores. You can check a couple different places in the area to find the best price.
Reply:If you have a friend who's handy with a saw and screw driver, ask them if they would be willing to build you one-you'll buy the wood, screws, etc. and then THAT is thier wedding gift to you. You'll get exactly what you want, and you'll own it afterwards. It can become a garden decoration, or even a unique fixture in your house.

I've been doing that with a lot of the things I need for my wedding- my sister made my dress, a friend is doing photography, another friend is doing music for the ceremony. Since all my friends are flat broke, they seem to love the idea of giving a service instead of serving ware.
Reply:Most Party rental shops have them and can be rented for the day for approx. $20.00.
Reply:see if you can find a contractor in your area. I'm sure you can find one to build on for you pretty cheap. Otherwise, find rental stores in your area, they'll have some pretty sturdy ones.
Reply:My wedding was outside and on the beach. I rented my arch from the florist. Call around. I'm sure that some florists rent them.
Reply:I've seen them at Home Depot, craft stores, and the florist shops that I looked at. Or you could rent one. You can order them from a ton of places on the internet if you don't care if you see it in person beforehand.

Please tell ne if this is a good joke?

It was at the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils. The florist's son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead, and said, "I bet I know what it is. Some flowers." " That's right" the boy said, "but how did you know?" "Oh, just a wild guess," she said. The next pupil was the candy shop owner's daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, "I bet I can guess what it is. A box of sweets." "That's right, but how did you know?" asked the girl. "Oh, just a wild guess," said the teacher. The next gift was from the son of the liquor store owner. The teacher held the package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop of the leakage with her finger and touched it to her tongue. "Is it wine?" she asked. "No," the boy replied, with some excitement. The teacher repeated the process, taking a larger drop of the leakage to her tongue. "Is it champagne?" she asked. "No," the boy replied, with more excitement. The teacher took one more taste before declaring, "I give up, what is it?" With great glee, the boy replied,

"It's a puppy!"

At the end of the school year a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her class. The florist's son handed her a gift. She shook it and said, "I bet I know what it is; Flowers."

"That's right!" the boy said, "but, how did you know?"

"Oh, just a wild guess," the teacher replied.

The next student was the candy shop owner's daughter. The teacher held her gift, shook it and said, "I bet I can guess what it is; A box of sweets."

"That's right said the little girl, but how did you know?"

"Oh, I've been around for many years," said the teacher proudly.

The next gift was from the son of the liquor store owner. The teacher held he package, but it was leaking so she grabbed a drop off the leaking contents with her finger and put it on her tongue for a taste test.

"Is it wine?" the teacher asked.

"NOPE," the boy replied, with some excitement.

The teacher repeated the process, tasting a larger drop of the leaking package. "Is it champagne?" she asked.

"NO MAM," he replied, with even more excitement!

The teacher with all her knowledge finally took one more big taste before admitting, "I give up. What is it?"

With an giant grin the boy replied, “SURPRISE, It's a puppy!"

Is this a bad omen?

Hi. I am getting married in four weeks exactly! Yay!

However, within the last month:

-- Our pastor told us he would no longer be able to officiate

-- Our ceremony violin player had to back out because of a final exam

-- The replacement violin player dislocated her shoulder and can no longer play

-- The retired florist/ family friend who was going to do our flowers double-booked herself with another event and had to back out of our wedding

-- My dress arrived at the bridal shop, but was made from the wrong fabric

-- The first wedding present we opened together had been damaged in shipping and arrived broken

-- My car (the one we were planning to use as our getaway car after the wedding) stopped working

-- My old college back-up car was stolen (leaving me with no working vehicles)

Has anyone else had any similar experiences while planning their wedding? Please, somebody, tell me that you did, and that your wedding (and marriage) still turned out okay.

Is this a bad omen?
When it rains, it pours.. but it also says that there's rainbow after the rain.. don't be affected with all those things darling, what is really important is you and your hubby loving together and holding on even things can go wrong at times. There are still a lot of things that will come across your marriage life but with a love so strong it will mean nothing at all. Stay strong and in love'

Congratulations!

Reply:I keep thinking of something that was said in the SATC episode where Charlotte married Harry. The worse the wedding, the happier the marriage.

On my wedding day, the hair stylist who was supposed to do my bridesmaids hair was a no show. And a well-loved person in my church died early that morning. Nevertheless, we still had a great wedding and 8 1/2 years later we still have a great marriage.
Reply:The best known baker in town double booked and could no longer do our cake, but it's been a blessing because I found a french baker that actually knows what a belgian chocolate cigarrillo is!!!!!! So I'm thrilled with the turn of events.

Just remember something, nothing can possibly be perfect and you cannot control anything regarless of how much careful planning you have done. Relax and do your best, you will have more fun that way.

Good luck
Reply:When a door closes a window opens. It just might turn out for the best anyways.

I thought I had everything planned (cake, location, food, music) when we found out we couldnt get everyone from the cathedral to the reception location, it was for the better the wedding coordinator was very demanding and was going to change and coordinate my wedding according to what she wanted anyways.
Reply:As long as you and your future husband are truly in love and will care for and respect each other, nothing else really matters. In fifty years no one is going to care if you had to change florist or pastor....but your future children and grandchildren will care if you are still in love and going strong. Always look for what is important in life. Good luck to you!
Reply:If you want to look at it that way and let it ruin your day, I guess it is a bad omen.

However, look at all that goes into a wedding. There is so much that can go wrong that it's impossible for things not to go wrong. Just chill and deal. Enjoy the day and be happy!
Reply:Haha maybe you should tone it down a bit and have a low key ceremony.

Or maybe God's trying to remind you that you dont need all this stuff to show how much you love each other and the the only important thing is that you and him are there on your special day.
Reply:Wedding cake had salt instead of sugar, father in law made an a** of his self, lost part of jewerly, had TIna turner hair thanks to a beautician. But it worked out.
Reply:Not a bad omen at all; you're just proving you two can work through whatever life throws at you. The wedding will be all the more satesfiying knowing you two were able to manage all these obstacles.
Reply:Not a bad omen, just life.

HINT: Everything is life is an opportunity.
Reply:Take a deep breath and start from scratch... find a new pastor,florist, dress, and rent a car or a limo ! It will be alright !!!
Reply:You might be noticing all the bad things around you right now, but just take a step back and chill. Those things happen everyday...when we need them most. You and your soon to be hubby will do great.
Reply:stuff happens, just laugh about it and move on.

The only bad omen you should be looking for is if the groom doesn't show up at the altar.

Reply:Don't worry about it i'm getting married in two months and i have had me fair share of disappointments.

-Pastor deciede to go on hoildays (were in the same boat here)

- my mother in law to be fired my DJ and hired a 50's one (because that is the music she prefers)

- i have had a bridesmaid just up and tell me that she didn't want to be apart of the wedding.

- and the best man moved to austraila without telling us and sent an email later saying that he wouldn't be able to make it.

Don't sweat the small stuff i'm sure its just god's way or fate (which ever you believe in ) of settting you on the right track for your dream wedding.

If my bridesmaid hadn't backed out then i would have never asked my other friend and half the planning would never have been done.

It will work out promise :)

BEST WISHES:)
Reply:No, it's not an omen. Yes, it is proof that the best-laid plans of mice and wedding planners "gang aft aglee."

You're worrying and planning too much. All this fuss is just grist for the wedding industry's mill, a giant waste of money, a setup for disappointment, a guarantee of severe stress, and it does nothing to ensure the long-term happiness and strength of the marriage.

If you have to get married -- never a certainty -- invite family and friends, do it at home and have a pleasant champagne brunch. We did that 15 years ago for $500 and couldn't be happier. And the 20K we saved was put into a house whose value has tripled. And not one of our guests was disappointed either. Or our parents. We saved everybody except the professional wedding vultures a ton of grief.
Reply:it depends are you looking for bad omens? if you have doubts then you may translate this as such. If you are not, then it is just regular normal hectic wedding stuff. The pastor had to right to do this so early unless he has a good reason and they usually recommend a replacement-did he? If not then ask him to. Th violonist you just happened to choose young very inovlved inviduals- i always look for older musicians that has more professionalism and dedication to the music not jsut as extra form of money. The bridal shop, however, i would throw the biggest tantrum and tell them they better get it to you in 2 weeks and a majot discount on your dress-mine was 2 weeks before the wedding not only the wrong size but the wrong style all together! About the car well i would rent one! Iw ould not use any old one that stops or unable to have security to make theives from stealing it!

comapred to mine: We RSVP for 435 people we had 763! Arabic wedding are big and it is a normal one. I decided to go by the hall before my hair and found out they are decorating the wrong colors and flowers arrangments they have confused my wedding with my friends which was two weeks away and our nmaes are the same! My head peice never SHOWED UP! I had another one made a week before.
Reply:In my culture (I am from Aruba) the superstition is that the more things go wrong at the wedding, the better the marriage will be. So here you'd be jumping for joy.

Of course we all want our weddings to be perfect and I can imagine the stress you are in. However, I will never forget a video I saw on AFHV, where there was a sudden storm during an outdoor wedding. People were running for cover, the tent was about to collapse from all the water, waiters were trying to push the water off with broomsticks, there was mud everywhere and thunder and lightning.

And among all that confusion, the bride and groom were dancing, looking into each other's eyes and smiling. They looked so happy and in love, it was amazing. THAT is what a wedding is all about.

Good luck to you. I hope you feel as blissful on your wedding day as that couple did on theirs. Even if things don't turn out as planned.

Reply:Two college football players were taking an important final exam. If they failed, they would be on academic probation and not allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl the following week. The exam was fill-in-the-blank. The last question read, "Old MacDonald had a _________."

Bubba was stumped. He had no idea of the answer. He knew he needed to get this one right to be sure he passed. Making sure the professor wasn't watching, he tapped Tiny on the shoulder.

"Pssst. Tiny. What's the answer to the last question?"

Tiny laughed. He looked around to make sure the professor hadn't noticed then he turned to Bubba.

"Bubba, you're so stupid. Everyone knows Old MacDonald had a farm."

"Oh yeah," said Bubba. "I remember now." He picked up his No. 2 pencil and started to write the answer in the blank. He stopped.

Reaching to tap Tiny's shoulder again, he whispered, "Tiny, how do you spell farm?"

"You are really dumb, Bubba. That's so easy. Farm is spelled E-I-E-I-O."

Does this sound strange to you?

Today i went to my florist to make a payment on my wedding flowers. I asked for a copy of my owner and all the recipts so I could have a copy for my personl reconds, and to show my mom who is helping to pay for the wedding. She said I could not recieve these things until my order is paid in full, which won't be for awhile, and then she got an attitude with me, by saying something like" If you would pay this off sooner you can get it then". I am very upset because I've been really nice to this lady. The only reason we went with this flower shop is because my finace kept her son from being beat up in high school, and we thought she would give us a good deal. My mother and I are very upset, and we are seriously considering switching to a different florist, and launching a complaint with the BBB. I was wondering if anyone had a simlar experiance like this when planning their wedding.

Does this sound strange to you?
Personally, I would start looking for someone else. There's no reason to work with this woman, and she should be competing for your business (not scolding you because you aren't meeting her guidelines).

Any reputable business person would give you a receipt for a payment received, regardless if the payment was made in full or not. Skip the BBB complaint... my experience has been that they never do anything about it anyway. A better course of action would be to find one of those phone book review things online and give her shop an honest review based on your experience. That would hurt her more, anyway, since today that is what more people will see.
Reply:That is very strange. You need to call and ask what the big deal would be or ask to speak to a manager.

For MY personal records, I take my digital camera and take pictures of everything that is signed and of the person signing it. They think I'm crazy at times, but I refuse to get screwed out of well earned money.

Call them back and let them know you aren't happy and either need to figure out a way that suits you, or you can take your business elsewhere.
Reply:It sounds VERY strange to me, and very suspicious. Definitely not a good business practice to not give a customer a receipt when they ask for one.

I would go back there, and basically tell her that you NEED a copy of your order and the contract that you have with their business, and that you need receipts for every payment you've made. You have every right for those things, and if you don't get them, I would seriously cancel the order, find another florist, and file a complaint with the BBB. Go back there tomorrow or Monday, ask to speak to the owner (if that's not who you've been dealing with), and tell him/her to either produce receipts and a copy of the order, or consider the order cancelled.

You might want to check out another florist anyway. Good luck!

There are alot of businesses, who sadly, try to take advantage of brides and grooms while they're planning their weddings. You need to safeguard yourself against fraud. Documentation is your only way to do that.
Reply:Hmmm! You say the only reason you went with this florist is because you thought she would give you a good deal--not because she does good work? Do you think she knows that and is a bit offended? That you think she should be obligated to you because your fiancee' did a kindness for her son?

Perhaps that might be the reason she isn't willing to be more accommodating.

Of course, you do have a right to a written receipt for money already paid--and if you have a contract, you have a right to a copy of that, as well. But your approach might have been a bit on the heavy side and this was her way of letting you know that. After all, it seems that you are paying as you go, which is not the way it is usually done--and she is giving you that latitude. Florists prefer to have a large down payment to secure the order, and then final payment just prior to the wedding.

Business is business, so don't give her a hard time. Just because her attitude didn't meet your expectations doesn't mean that she isn't a good business person or an excellent floral designer. If you aren't happy, get your money back and go somewhere else.
Reply:I agree that sounds strange to me. You should at the very least be able to get a handwritten receipt fro the money you have paid, especially if you are paying cash. Not letting you see your order is also suspicious.

Did you sign a contract? If so you need to read it and all the fine print before deciding to cancel.

I would suggest calling her and requesting a copy of something that shows how much money you have paid to date and how much is left to pay, if she can't provider some sort of statement I would let her know that you are looking for other options. Have the contract handy in case she challenges you.

Good luck!
Reply:well I've heard of not getting a receipt until payed in full.but she would've handled it differently,by telling you this nicer,or some places have what they call estimated bill.stating that it could change base on flower available at the time of your wedding.
Reply:Report her to the BBB. And I say look for another florist. If you are paying for work that she has not started yet and you have no records of you paying her ever you are asking for trouble from this woman, who will probably mess you over in the end. This is highly suspicious behavior.
Reply:I can kinda see where she is coming from I wouldn't want to give a receipt until it was paid in full, just to keep the confusion down (she could have gotten screwed out of money before hand yanno?)

I don't see why she can't give you an invoice of the items your ordered w/ prices and then maybe the amounts you've paid so far w/ a balance remaining, all dated and maybe even signed by her or something so her people know you still owe on it. Try calling and asking if she could maybe do something like that for you.

If she's unwilling to work, I'd switch places, people shouldn't be rude in businesses like that because Bride's are already stressing yanno!?
Reply:You cannot get a receipt because by giving you a receipt, the owner is saying that you have indeed paid in full. Since you have NOT paid the full amount, you can ask her for an estimate or an invoice detailing the amounts due and the products to be provided.

Try going back and work this out with her. Depending on the terms of the agreement you signed, you may not be refunded the money you have already paid.

Good luck.
Reply:I would look for someone else and file that complaint. Once you pay money for something, be it a down payment on a house, car or flowers, you are entitled, by law, to a reciept. If she refuses to give you one, take your money and walk. Tons of florists out there, many supermakets will do a decent job if you are in a jam, but it seriously sounds like this woman is trying screw you over. You say you went with her to get a deal and all your getting is grief, something you dont need at this point.

Your wedding is in june, lots of time to get roses, which are in season in North America anyway. If you have paid a deposit to the flowers, ask for it back and go somewhere else. If you havent, give her a quick call to get the answering machine - means call after hours so you dont have to speak to anyone - and just say simply that you've decided to use someone else for the flowers, thank her for her time and hang up.

Since you dont have a reciept and if you have paid anything down, you have nothing that says you've given this woman money, so until she's willing to give you a 'proof of deposit' your not willing to give her anything. So techincally this woman can deny that you've ever given her anything in the first place.

File the complaint and get those roses from someone else
Reply:with my first wedding, i got a receipt with every payment i made, including the down payment with the balance due on them, and i got a copy of the order. i would demand the receipts and the copy of what you ordered or i would demand my money back and take your business else where. there is no reason why she is not giving this to you, very bad customer service.
Reply:I wouldn't buy anything from her. A wedding is big money for a florist. She should be jumping through hoops to please you. I hope you're getting contracts with all your vendors and NEVER pay in cash without getting a signed receipt.
Reply:You absolutely have a right to KNOW WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR. This woman is obligated to provide you with a WRITTEN contract that includes exactly what you guys agreed upon. She is also obligated to give you a receipt for the payments you have made. I hope you have a contract. I would get someone else, but you might lose your deposit if you have paid one.
Reply:I'm wondering if she will not supply the receipts since you may be being charged interest for paying over time? Most places I have been to give you a copy of the order when it is placed. That covers their behinds if someone tries to say the order was not what they requested. Not sure what to tell you. If some of your flowers have been ordered already you may not beable to back out and get much of a refund. Talk to your fiance. See what he wants to do about it as he is the one who has history with the family. Also, don't forget that people do have bad days. We've all snapped at someone when it wasn't their fault. Maybe give her another chance? Try going in when someone else is working (if that occurs)

Best of luck!
