On the way home from my old shopping haunt, we passed by the flower shop where I bought flowers for my wedding. The girls were thrilled when I told them that I got dozens of roses and even my bridal bouquet from that shop.

The flowers were gorgeous but the florist though was another story altogether. Let’s just say she wasn’t half as sweet as her flowers. In fact, she was curt and barked at me when I changed my mind about what flowers I wanted.

If online shopping back then was as popular as it is now, I would doubtless not have tolerated her customer service, and gone straight to an online site to buy my wedding flowers. At least, I know I’ll get affordable prices and good service from sites like FiftyFlowers.
