It was November 17 and a large wedding with 13-14 attendants apiece for the bride and groom was about to commence. The church was full of family and friends anticipating the start of the wedding ceremony.  Organ music was filling the air and time was drawing very near for the bride to make her grand entrance.

 Everything seemed to be in order. Bridesmaids and groomsmen were waiting behind the scenes. Everything seemed to be in order but one little detail - where are the flowers? 

Father of the bride is on the phone with the florist using words not appropriate for the wedding guests. But who could blame him after paying the big bucks. Where are the missing flowers?

 

  • Bridesmaids do not have their bouquets.
  • Groomsmen do not have their boutonnieres.
  • Mothers do not have their corsages
  • Flower girl does not have her rose petals
  • Fathers do not have their boutonnieres
  • Grandmothers do not have their corsages
  • Grandfather does not have his boutonniere
  • Altar flowers missing
  • Central arrangements not there
  • And most importantly, the bride's bouquet is missing.

The organist is now seeing what is going on and thankfully prolongs the music.  Guests are starting to see there are no flowers, too. "Skippy" the happy wedding planner magically appears and is placing flowers in the church without even touching the ground, skipping from one spot to the next. 

Miraculously all the flowers touched down in time. How I'll never know but so happy the flowers made it.  (Bill greatly reduced).

Holy moly!smilies/shocked.gif I would've went nuts! I was crazy when it came to my wedding and I confirmed right up to the day of the wedding with each of my vendors. Even the morning of. But I guess there are always mix ups! The poor bride! I hope it didn't ruin her day!

Jen,

I think the bride checked with the florists repeatedly, too. The father got into the mix and magically the flowers showed immediately. The church was having back to back weddings and it was tight to get the people from the first wedding out of the church in order for the second wedding to take place. It was definitely not an easy situation. The florist should have been waiting for the other service to end.

Everything turned out to be very special and beautiful so there was a good ending to the story. The fee for the flowers was greatly reduced, if not gratis.

It all ended well.
