Pender Island is freaking tiny, and kind of isolated by limited ferries. They get flower shipments once a week. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 14:03 16
- If I were you (and the fiancee agrees) I'd just cancel the flowers completely and demand a refund. (nm) - musubi Sep 24, 14:05 8
  - where the wedding will be, there is no other source, IIRC. -- nm - zork Sep 24, 14:07 4
    - I understand that. I was suggesting to go flowerless at the wedding. (nm) - musubi Sep 24, 14:10 3
      - what's the bride going to toss? -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 14:12 2
        
        The florist, into the ocean. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with less Sep 24, 14:15 1
        
        waterfront wedding ... this is not out of the question. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 14:18
  - they need the rest of the flowers, these ones aren't critical. really, i'd let it slide and not worry, but i wouldn't pay for the lavendar ones. -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 14:06 2
    - Ah, I misunderstood, I thought the lavender was the entirety of the order. Then yes, I'm with you. - musubi Sep 24, 14:09
    - Are they all paid for already? -- nm - the liioulu with less Sep 24, 14:08
- is the florist on the island? then they have flowers. - Andie Sep 24, 14:04 6
  - they are on Pender Island. The shop is *tiny*, and it's the only one on the island. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 14:05 5
    - i get that, but it's a florist shop right? are you telling me they don't *have flowers* in the shop? -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 14:06 3
      - they don't have WHITE flowers, no -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 14:18 1
        
        okay, i guess that's *possible*, then just don't sweat it. :) -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 14:22
      - Seriously, not offering to make some kind of compensation is *unbelievable*. (nm) - musubi Sep 24, 14:07
    - well, they have tomorrow to get a special shipment, right? -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 14:05
So am I. Ask for some other consideration then. -- nm - the liioulu with less Sep 24, 14:02
if it's not many flowers, maybe a guest coming from the mainland can bring a few bouquets and just make a switch that morning. -- nm - zork Sep 24, 14:01 1
- Steve Austin would run to the mainland and run back in 20 minutes with the right flowers. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 14:05
(however, if you are missing those flowers, who would know? throw a couple big candles there instead. don't make yourself crazy.) - Andie Sep 24, 14:01 14
- (too many posts now)... but don't you dare pay for the wrong ones, you have writing backing you up. -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 14:02 13
  - plus, a hip replacement was not an emergency surgery. they should have figured all of this out. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 14:04
  - This is the kind of case they have on People's Court all the time. - the liioulu with less Sep 24, 14:03 11
    - and The Equalizer -- nm - shamu Sep 24, 14:04 1
      - and Bridezillas -- nm - znufrii Sep 24, 14:27
    - and this is the problem with brides having some image of a perfect wedding. Life happens and there will always be things that are wrong. -- nm - zork Sep 24, 14:04 8
      - why should this just be laid on the bride? Bery doesn't seem to happy about this either and from I gather, he's the groom. -- nm - Diva Sep 24, 14:11 5
        
        As I said they should deputize another, maybe irritating relative. - the liioulu with less Sep 24, 14:14
        
        agreed, but in most cases the plans are made to fulfill an image that the bride has been carrying around since before she even met the guy. -- nm - zork Sep 24, 14:13 2
        
        But...we're talking about Bery here, not most cases. -- nm - Diva Sep 24, 14:26 1
        
        i was just making an aside, like many people do in threads *shrug* - zork Sep 24, 14:28
        
        to = too. -- nm - Diva Sep 24, 14:12
      - i could live without them before i'd want the wrong colour. like i said, i wouldn't make myself crazy in this case. -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 14:05 1
        
        yep. but you are the type to roll with the punches and feel good about all the good things -- nm - zork Sep 24, 14:09
