I really appreciate the fiancé's intelligence and pragmatism. From the moment we started dating, I stopped worrying about a lot of things: money, my safety, and having to be the hard-nosed one facing the world alone.
Last weekend, we finalized details with the florist. She was very helpful but PUSHY. She kept telling me that we wanted two altar arrangements (at $140 each) in order to pull the colors of the bridal party together. I looked at the first draft of quote and saw that she somehow had convinced me previously to allow her to write "2". (I already talked to the church coordinator, who told me that it was customary to offer one.) As I sat again in her lobby - this time with the fiancé - she began to draw the same diagram. She explained how the colors would get lost if there was only one arrangement. He just looked at her and said, "we want one." She immediately dropped it and didn't bring it up again.
I don't know how he pulls that off, but I'm sure glad he does! I pray that we have a long, happy life together. He is perfect for me. :)
