The 1st 'bouquet' after marriage is...

This was meant to be a surprise & surprise indeed it was. With V day falling on the 1st day of the LNY, the florists remembered to jack up the prices & well, i thank my lucky stars that the man remembered that V day still exists. According to him, this stalk cost $10, equivalent to a meal at Soup Spoon. If he wanted it wrapped in pretty paper, the price increased 3-fold. This is again equivalent to 2 meals at Soup Spoon. Alas, the flower ended up in a pathetic looking clear wrapper, with aluminium folder at the base... What made me chuckle was the analogy of spending money on flowers vs. a meal.

It was queer holding onto this flower along the streets. I'd rather that he saved the money & buy a nicer bouquet another day... At least, it'd be pretty. Shan't complain any longer. This is the 1st 'bouquet' i received as his Mrs.
