DH sent me flowers for our anniversary(added a pic), but...

I'm frustrated with the flower company. We have used them in the past, and have been happy. DH called this a.m. to make sure I would be home around 2:00. Since he cannot keep a secret he ended up telling me he was sending flowers. (He's so sweet). As happy as I am that my DH is SO thoughtful, we kind of can't really afford to spend the money on them since we are going on vacation next week. So he said he would call to cancel - I was totally fine with that. Well, they wouldn't do it bc they had already ordered the flowers (but didn't make it yet). I don't understand that from a cust. service point of view. But anyway...Now they just called here to say the delivery is on the way. Assuming I didn't know about it already - wouldn't that spoil the surprise?? Argh! Anyhow, I have a beautiful rose bouqet

I love 'em!

It is odd that they called you. I have never had a florist do that.
I have had them leave the flowers on the front porch. At least they got there

Wishing you both a very happy anniversary.

But doesn't your tag say you're single??? Could it be that the tag fairy is confused??

Yes, I think the TF got confused...I did try to set the record straight as soon as I got my tag though!!

If your husband is inclined to make generous gestures that you really can't afford, here is what I'd do: Wait several months, then have a very non-threatening conversation about what you expect in the way of gifts, flowers, etc. on special occasions. Men really want to be told this stuff...when they guess, it seems they always guess wrong.

Early on I told DH that I loved receiving flowers for my birthday and anniversay, but to skip them on Valentine's Day (because they mark them up so much.)

For you, you might want to give him permission to skip flowers altogether, or whatever works for you.

We definately are open in this area and I see your point. We had decided not to even give each other gifts and to just enjoy our vacation together. He is just so generous, I can't fault him on this one.

Congrats on 8 years! This is our second.

Thanks to the TF for giving me my wedding ring back! one more fish out of the pond for WM Barry

Oh yeah, and just in case anyone is wondering why I am on the DIS today instead of spending it with DH - he's out of town until Sat.
