Anniversary Flowers : 
Bringing The Tradition Back.

I am a hopeless romantic girl and I know most of the same gender have the same personality. As I grow watching romantic old films, seeing them with their lovers with everyday surprises makes me more fond of having the same lover who expresses his thoughts on simple things. Definitely, you'll be familiar with scenes of a lovers quarrel then in the morning, there is a bouquet or even a bunch of roses with a simple note of “forgive me”, “I'm sorry” and “I love you”. As I watch such scenes, I often imagine that the perfect guy for me would be someone who embraces such traditional ways of sending love.

I blame technology for causing a drastic change with the process of courtship. All they do is send text messages, e-mail or even leave a comment on your inbox in a social network site. This is unacceptable, at least, on my part. I would rather talk face to face or just like how I imagine my love life would be: traditionally romantic.

For me, there is a huge significance of receiving a flower. It doesn't only lights up my day but it also make me feel loved or cared. There's something special about it that I cannot even point out, but all I know is that flowers are more expressive than those newly invented gifts around the store.

My boyfriend isn't used to giving gifts probably because few guys appreciates the art of giving. Since I am a die-hard fan of romantic movies, I asked him to send me flowers at a random moment or when I least expect it. In that way, he'll know that I love receiving simple gifts.

He was kind enough to obey my request and maybe my request isn't hard at all. Or not? He told me that he didn't know if he should order roses and that he was too shy to ask me what makes me feel good. Excited about the idea of having the first bouquet of my life I asked him to visit the online store where the arrangements are drop dead gorgeous and that I always visit the site dreaming that the perfect guy would give me something like those.

After a few years, he never forget to send me flowers every time I am wary or when we had a fight. He plans our anniversary very well and that he showers me with flowers. Since we are planning to take the next big step, having a simple dinner with him would be perfect for the anniversary. I didn't expect any grand presentation of gifts and guess what? He gave me three anniversary flowers with a simple note why he gave me such combinations. I thought three because we are on our 3rd year anniversary, but then I realized that those roses represents his feelings during those three years.

I guess I've got my own traditionally romantic scene at all. With a guy who learned to appreciate little things and an online shop who sells special small wonders, Beyond Blossoms, my love story would be the best among the films that I have watched.
