"So because they didn't have enough of the white Hydrangea flowers I decided to put together a centerpiece with white lilies to see how you would like that" Gina, the event planner for my wedding said to me and my momma while showing us what she put together
I stared at the flowers with one hand on my hip and the other resting on the side of my face
Today was already a stressful day. Gio wasn't feeling good yesterday so I scheduled him a doctors appointment for today plus me and Dre was up all night with him causing us to oversleep so Gigi was late for school. I then almost forgot Gio's doctors appointment so we had to rush back out to go to his appointment while Dre had to go do a tattoo this morning. On the way from the appointment I got him something to eat which obviously didn't agree with his stomach so he threw up all in the car. When I pulled over to get him straight he threw up on me too so when I got to the house I had to change and get gio straight while Dre cleaned out my car before giving it to Marcus so he can get it detailed. So I just ended up getting my momma to come pick me up so we wouldn't be late to meet with this lady while Dre should be on his way while Emoni said she would sit at the house and watch gio for us.
No matter how much I looked at the centerpiece this lady came up with, I just couldn't make myself like it.
"It's no way possible we can get more of the other flowers? Cause not to be rude but I just can't make myself like this"
"You sure?" She asked and I nodded
"I'm sure. These flowers make this look like an arrangement for a funeral and I-.." I stopped talking and let out a breath
I don't know if it's because I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, if it's because the way this morning has went or if it's just the flowers alone... but I was getting irritated and I wasn't tryina take it out on the wrong people
"I talked to the florist to see if they'll have more in time for the wedding but they said they won't"
"I've had this same date for how long? You didn't talk to them before recently?"
"Is there any other place that can have them in time?" My momma asked her
"I've been calling around but the only other places I've gotten that will have them, they're pretty far"
"I'll go get them myself at this point because I... I don't like this" I told her truthfully
I could hear the door open and close making all three of us look back. It was Dre walking in and by the look on his face when he looked at me, I could tell he knew something was wrong
"What happened? Why you look like that?" He asked me as my momma started talking to Gina about finding another florist
"My wedding is turning into a disaster. That's what's wrong"
"How?"
"What do those flowers look like?" I asked him, pointing at the flowers
He looked at them, turning his had to the side a little
"My granddaddy had them at his funeral"
"My point exactly! See.. I'm bout to cry" I sighed, putting my face in his shirt
"You ain gotta cry. These ain the flowers you wanted?"
"No. I wanted the other ones.. I don't remember how she pronounced the name because I showed her the picture and she told me what they were. But I wanted them"
"Why you ain got the flowers you want then?"
"The problem is the florist won't have enough in time for the wedding" Gina explained to Dre
