Dear Barbara’s Florist Delivery Man,

Walking into your florist shop, we were pleased automatically. Very nice customer service, great environment, positive atmosphere, and a welcoming staff. When visiting many local florists, my fiance and I were most impressed by your selection of flowers. Ranging from lilies to sunflowers to daisies to hydrangeas, we loved all the options we could choose from to make our big wedding day beautiful. Living in the city, we did not think that we would find many good places that would have live, vibrant flowers. Especially because our wedding was planned to be in the winter, we were skeptical about whether the flowers would last through the harsh weather, but you reassured us that they would be just as beautiful at our special day as they were when we saw them in mid spring.

Although we were impressed at your shop, we were even more impressed on our wedding day. All the purple hydrangeas were now beautifully dried out into shriveled up, brown, fragile petals, breaking with one breath on them. Also, we loved the fact that your delivery truck drove straight through the lawn of my Lake Pearl, where my reception setting, and ruined their lawn. Although you generously apologized, you showed much remorse when you came out of your truck laughing. When setting up the flowers, standing on the tables was probably your best idea since you broke nearly half the tables by jumping up and down on them. Although the music playing was loud and fun, dancing on a table when you are well over 200 pounds is not a good idea. Thank you for eating 76% of the food that would be provided at the reception as well! We were so glad that our guests had to stop at Friendly’s on the way to the reception and most of them also stopping at a near by McDonald’s or Wendy’s on the way home. At least we had the cake though! Oh wait, you accidentally knocked that over too while trying to run out of the room as quickly as you could so you could go home and watch American Idol. My husband and I greatly appreciate everything that you did for our wedding, but I do not suggest anyone else with a right mind to ever use any of your services.

Yours Truly.
