Bridezilla

I think I have been pretty reasonable throughout this whole wedding planning thing. I'm sure Ben and Jess would say differently. Yesterday we had our groomal photo session. My dad has a friend who has a flower shop in Tooele who my dad said has to do my wedding flowers. I was a little nervous. We went down to pick things out and so I could tell them exactly what I wanted and exactly what I did not want. I was pleasantly surprised and my nerves were eased after our visit. Well yesterday because we had pictures I needed a bouquet. My brothers headed down to do a delivery in Tooele and pick up my flowers. They came home and all three brother and dad came inside to show me my bouquet. I opened the paper it was wrapped in and saw this...
I explicitly told them a few things, 1: NO carnations, 2: NO babies breath, 3: NO weird stiff ribbon bows, and most importantly 4: NO NO NO weird twisty metal things sticking out (I've seen this done a lot lately and it's just not me). I open the paper and see only the 4 above mentioned items. I starting yanking out the twisties so fast I didn't even realize that the only flowers in it were carnations. Then I see the babies breath, then the yucky ribbon. I got a little panicked. Everyone started laughing. Then they brought in this...

Tooele Floral sure did fool me. The bouquet turned out exactly how I wanted it. I can't wait to see how the reception flowers turn out!!!

It was the florist who pulled the prank! She's a trickster!
