16 Roses

Summer made frequent reminders to me throughout the day to not forget the Roses! 

So, to make sure I got it absolutely right, I brought her along to choose the flowers all 16 of them from Floristika, Bangsar. 

The huge, rosy red, succulent looking roses cost a pretty penny "...but they're from China" says the florist. True enough they do look pretty alien. We made the order and hung around for a long while, while one of the foreign looking arrangers in the back room made the arrangement under our watchful and intruding eyes! 

The alien roses in itself were, to me quite sufficient, but the simple bouquet arrangement that was subsequently presented to us was even more breathtaking! 

And that was quite an appropriate word to describe and celebrate our sixteen years together. 

Happy 16th Anniversary Darling. What a ride it has been! Stick around! After what we've been through, it's bound to get better, I am sure. 

 Here's to Sixteen more. Cheers!
