Sorry, but why would you spend $450 on flowers that are just gonna die in a few days? I'm sure you are a great person, but I suspect you might be a kook! Just sayin....;) :rotfl:

Happy Anniversary! I hope it's a fantastic trip!

[lustergirl]

wow- I hope your trip is fantastic. Like another poster my husband would drop dead if I spent that much money on flowers- ha!1

[frdeb1999]

Hope you have a wonderful time! We spent nearly $2000 on renewing our vows, flowers and pics in August on the Wonder for our 20th. So I know exactly what your saying! Have a Happy Anniversary!! :)

[Lollipop's Mom]

Wow $450 on flowers! That is how much I would kill for to upgrade to a moderate resort from the Pop! LOL.
$450 is my grocery money for about 6 weeks! lol.

[Rustysmom]

Wow, that's a lot of money, but if you can afford it, enjoy it I say! We were just married 15 years and DH didn't even get me one flower!

Have a wonderful anniversary and make sure you come back and post lots of pictures.

Edited to add that we got a lovely gift basket from the WDW florist that had fruit, candy, cookies and lots of other things in a big Mickey head basket. They do a great job.

Congrats... Please take a pic (it will last alot longer).... I know they are going to be beautiful! WDW florist is amazing... I hope a ton of pixie dust falls all over you!

[pooksma]

I hope you have an awesome time and the flowers are beautiful. Congrats to you and your DH. :love:

Oh-my DH and I will be going for our 13th anniversary in August (first parents only trip) and we're still poor, so if you can throw a stem or fizzled out balloon our way, that'd be great!:rotfl2:

Serious though, can't wait to see pics!

[Jaymie]

If I spent $450 on flowers, we'd be headed for divorce court!! :lmao:

I can't wait to see what the arrangement looks like.

I wish I could get my husband to see "the Disney way" but it'll never happen. He's just too sensible and I suspect it's got something to do with the way you're brought up too.:confused: But, I LOVE my in-laws so I don't even go down that road!!!

[NancyIL]

Do you suppose you could have a talk with MY husband...to loosen his tight fist a bit! ;)

[chatty]

I say GOOD for YOU... We were also Poor when we got married 36 years ago and I say Life is way too short, you two Deserve to WHOOP it UP!! Have a Blast and Please Lot's and Lot's of Pics..

Congratulations. Have a great time!

[EnchantedPrincess]

Congratulations...happy anniversary and have a great trip!

[latinqt]

So glad you're going to enjoy your anniversary. Best Wishes.:cool1:

[PrincessSuzanne]

Well, all I asked for for our upcoming 6th Anniversary is a $250 i-pod and you would have thought I asked DH for a kidney. I don't think he has even spent $450 on me the entire time we have been married.

Have a great time and enjoy yourself

[cmonroe]

Although I would be really disappointed that my wife spent $450 on flowers, I think that it is a reflection of our current financial situation. I can't imagine spending that much money on flowers, but it is your money. You earned it.
If you want to soak it in gas and set it on fire, it is yours to do so.

Congratulations on your anniversary! Please take photos of the arrangement. I would really like to see what it looks like.

[noahdove]

I know if I spent $450 on flowers he would put them on my grave:) after he had a heart attack:)

[Poppinsme]

:rotfl: :rotfl:
Thanks for all your kind words.
DH knows how hard Ive worked(overtime;) )to get those flowers so he will appreciate the beauty of it.:cloud9:

[rookie2]

I can't wait to see the pictures. Congrats::flower3:

[MermaidsMom]

Actually, wouldn't that be the other way around?:rotfl:

[dawgfan]

My family was in the flower business. My mom retired from that business a few years back. Noboby appreciates flowers like a woman. You spent $450 on flowers. A practical person will say "they will just die in a few days". They are basically meaningless and "think of what else you could have done with that money".

A romantic will say that your husband will remember the smell and the look of those flowers as he enters the room for the rest of his life. He will remember the look of your face when he encounters that bouquet in the room. He will then turn and look into your smiling eyes and remember the look of you and the smell of you and that moment for the rest of his life. Put a price on that!! Practicality is crap. Romance is life and what makes life (with that special someone) worth living to the fullest. Buy flowers...drink wine...embrace and live in the moment. It is a moment that you will relive in memory a thousand times over. He may not gush over it verbally but in silent thought, in quiet moments of the day he will get a sly smile on his face as his mind wanders to this event. Buy that for less than $450!

Wow. You made me cry. :love:
DH WILL be so surprised by the flowers and moved.
Thank you dawgfan. :hug: I couldn't have said it better. :goodvibes :goodvibes
As I've gotten older the one thing in life I realize is that money means nothing. To have loving relationships and fabulous friends are worth more then all the materialism I have. $450.00 well spent! :)

Wow that made me cry too. That was one of the most beautiful things I have ever read !:goodvibes

[UBSHANG]

:rotfl2: Next up the champaign...

Wow! You must have come a long way since your humble beginnings in order to afford an entire city for your anniversary. "Champaign" is actually a city in central Illinois. Perhaps you were referring to the sparkling white wine known as "champagne". Who wants to play "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?". :rotfl2:

[nbodyhome]

Congrats on your anniversary! Though I would KICK my husbands butt if he ever spent $450 on flowers! We spent $50 or so on all our flowers for our wedding a few years back (6 dozen from Sams Club). I would hate if he spent more than $15, actually. :) $450.00 is a few days in Paris!

[jwwi]

Please post lots of pictures, and congratulations on 32 years.:love:

[Randi80]

Wow. I guess some people have that kind of money to blow on something that dies:rolleyes2 .

Yes, some people do. And it's really nobodys business but their own on how they choose to spend their money. I'm not sure why you would make a comment like that about someone you don't even know--especially seeing as how this is only your second post... :rolleyes1 popcorn::

[kileybeth]

Where do I go to nominate this thread for the most complete and entertaining and representative thread of what the Disboards are all about?

I laughed out loud, I cried, I remembered my own stay at the Poly, I wanted to congratulate someone, hug someone, offer even more fun advice.

This is Dis at it's best. oh yeah, and

~~~What is typed here on the Disboard, stays here on the Disboard.~~~ Why would DH ever need to know the $$$amount anyway???

Go! Run! Enjoy! Live! Have a wonderful time. Romance,Indulgances , Memories. Say Hi to Mickey while you are at it!

We get criticized for taking a second Disney Trip this year. In April I was an EMT who was involved in the VA Tech massacre. The entire time all I could think about was my own babies at home as I tried to care for someone else's baby. So, if I decide to spend my money on a second trip to spend time with my babies, it is my choice. I can't take it with me and my kids will have memories that is worth more than the money we spend. If you want to spend $450 or $4050 for your memories you go right ahead. I hope you have an awesome time. Take pictures for us to see.

[nbodyhome]

Some people spend $400 or more for a night in a room, which is sort of the same as flowers. Neither will be around long.

Everyone has the right to spend their money as they see fit (my DH knows I'd kick him if he spent more than $15 or so on flowers, though!) :)

[Shmily1]

Poppinsme-- Congratulations on your 32 years! I hope you have 32 more wonderful years. You are a very thoughtful wife and I'm sure your DH will appreciate the effort you have put into this to make this trip special. I hope you have a great time and please do post the pictures of your stay.

Dawgfan--Hi, fellow Georgian! Your post was so sweet. As I was reading it, I was thinking that is exactly what I would feel too! It is truly all about the memories. When you are 95 and sitting in the rocking chairs, you won't care about the money you spent but you will still think back on the memories you made.

Well, all I asked for for our upcoming 6th Anniversary is a $250 i-pod and you would have thought I asked DH for a kidney. I don't think he has even spent $450 on me the entire time we have been married.

I had one if those too. Notice the use of the word HAD!:lmao: :lmao: :rotfl2:

Congrats... good for you.. hope you had a great anniversary and many more to follow.

Disney florist do a beautiful job. I got a birthday arrangement and nearly shot the SO for spending $ on flowers. I am very practical but they were so beautiful and smelled so nice, I could not refuse them.

Happy anniversary!

I girl our family knew Nicole White died that day at Tech- she belonged to our church. On behalf of my family and friends I thank you for doing what you do.....:hug: I think you deserve to go as often as you like. Fill your head with wonderful memories. Lord knows you have seen enough to haunt your dreams if you where there that horrible day. Have a great trip! :flower3:

Just back from WDW and the flowers were magnificent!!!!!!!!!
DH cried when he saw them!!! We loved waking up every morning to the smell of roses. And the display that was still alive we gave to the concierge desk at the Poly along with the candy, when we left yesterday.
I will post pics later. :cloud9: :cloud9:

[5DisneyNuts]

That's wonderful! Good for you. Hope you had a fantastic time and can't wait to see the pictures.

[Along4theRide]

I'm happy to hear your DH loved the flowers. I'm sure they were beautiful :)

[jwwi]

So happy that your DH enjoyed the flowers. Can't wait to see the pictures. Hope you had a magical vacation.:surfweb:

[Poppinsme]

I am doing a dining report also and posted this there as well.
We lost all our pictures. All of them. :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:
All I have left of the flowers are some cuttings I made to dry and put in a scrapbook. The large stuffed Mickey that came with candy and balloons we have. I cried almost all of yesterday and today. To loose over 200 pics is hard. The camera shop I went to tried to help but there was nothing that could be done.
The pics were so good. And all the food and resort pics. And the Xmas lights at MGM, Magic Kingdom etc. :sad2: :sad2: :sad2:
DAMN.

[lisaluvsmickey2000]

Awwwwww crap Poppinsme! I'm sorry you lost your pics :sad1: I'm glad to hear you had a wonderful anniversary and that the flowers were awesome!!! :cloud9:

You can steal some of my pics if you want :rotfl: I just returned this past wednesday w/ over 700 pics and videos! It's not a wonderful camera, but I captured some wonderful pics of the castle changing colors and the Osborne Lights!
