Well, I made the call today and I decided on a dozen sunflowers with three red roses in the center. Yayyyyyyyy! We will confirm on Wednesday about the availability of sunflowers. If they aren't available, then I will go all out with the two dozen long stemmed red roses.
After placing an all-call among my friends, my Great^5 Little Brother (in APO) has decided to be the runner for me. He's excited for me, which is cool considering he's a breeder.
If THAT doesn't work out, the restaurant/lounge has given me permission to pre-deliver the flowers earlier in the evening so that they can already be on the table when the dude gets there.
It would be a shame if the dude was on GreekChat reading this, LOLOL. Not likely, since he's not Greek and doesn't aspire to be.
