Trivia time!
Ranunculus, saponaria, hydrangea, peonies, dahlias, alstroemeria, ornithogalum, phlox, tuberose and zinnia are different kinds of:
a. geological eras
b. sexually transmitted diseases
c. flowers
d. sexual terms
e. none of the above
The correct answer is: (c) flowers. If you got that correct, then you must be a woman.
Welcome to the first installment of “how to choose”, where we touch upon how to choose the item, things she may be saying, and what us grooms are really thinking.
Today’s how to choose subject is how to choose flowers. Yes! We start this off with an enthusiastic bang! That’s what she said.
She may be asking you what kind of flowers you would like for the wedding, or if this ranunculus is cuter than that calla lilly. Your correct answer should be: “sure” or “yes”. Really men, who cares?! A flower is a flower is a flower. What we’re thinking about while they ask us about bouquets or flowers for the tuxes runs more along the lines of “is my team winning the game?” “I think I got this booger in my nose that needs picking, should I pick it here or in the restroom?” “What did I get myself into?” Oh what? You need my opinion on an orchid? They’re cool. It looks great!
Fight the good fight or defer?
Definitely, definitely, definitely defer. Really, who cares? Flowers are colorful and they smell good and all that. They may even cause you to cry… due to allergies. No need to get into the details. Save yourself the hour meeting, let her pick whatever she wants, and watch your game or tv show, or do your favorite activity.
So when you hear: [term of endearment], what do you think of these snapdragons? You should say: They’re cool, they look great!
See men? It’s that easy. DONE! Now go reward yourself with that ice cold brew for all of the hard work you provided for this.
