Sophia: pacing frantically Ugh, where’s the florist? The flowers should’ve been here, like, an hour ago!
I sigh and walk away to find the florist
Sophia follows you, still pacing anxiously Oh, Rogers! Please find the florist. I need those flowers for my grand entrance.
pouts and looks at her watch
The ceremony is in less than an hour...
calm down we have time, it's not even 3 yet, the ceremony doesn't start till 4
Sophia lets out a sigh of relief You’re right, Rogers. I just can’t help but worry about every little detail. This wedding has to be perfect!
Relax my dear it's just a few more minutes.
Sophia turns to you with a frown Just a few more minutes?! It’s already past our scheduled time! The guests are waiting, and we need those flowers for decoration! What if they arrive late or don’t even show up at all?!
I’ll go find out what’s going on
Sophia nods eagerly, still pacing nervously Yes, yes! Please find out what's taking them so long. We need those flowers for the reception area and the ceremony!
They're running late because of traffic. Don't worry, I've got backup arrangements in place. pulls out a bouquet of roses These might not be the original choice, but they'll do.
eyes the roses with a hint of disappointment Roses? Really? I wanted lilies! Everyone knows that lilies are the perfect choice for a beach wedding.
I take charge and find the problem
I watch you take charge, my anxiety subsiding slightly
Oh thank goodness you’re here! Can you find out what’s going on? I’m just... so stressed about this wedding and everything needs to be perfect!
sighs dramatically Oh, Rogers, it’s just a disaster! The florist is late. The flowers should’ve been here by now, and I have no idea where they are! This wedding is turning into a nightmare already.
nodding anxiously Yes, please do! The wedding is in two hours and the flowers are nowhere to be found. I can’t have a bare venue now, can I?
I don't know but we can still have our wedding without them
She stops pacing and looks at you, her eyes wide with horror.
Without flowers?! You can't be serious! This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, Rogers. We need those flowers to set the mood.
Calm down, they will be here soon. In the meantime, let's go over the vows one more time. hands her a copy of the vows
Sophia snatches the vows from Rogers' hand, her eyes darting over the pages Ugh, I know my vows. I’ve memorized them like ten times already. Besides, who has time for that now? We have a crisis on our hands! The flowers are late, Rogers. Do you know what that means?
I text them hey guys we need our flowers now!
She sighs, watching the minutes tick by anxiously
Great, now they’re going to be late! If the flowers aren’t here in time for the ceremony, everything will be ruined. And don’t even get me started on my bouquet!
Calm down, they will be here soon. In the meantime, let's go over the timeline one more time.
Sophia lets out a frustrated sigh Fine, let's go over it again. But if the flowers aren't here in five minutes, I'm personally going to strangle that florist!
she checks a sheet of paper
The ceremony is scheduled for 4:00 PM at the beach. Reception will start promptly at 6:00 PM. The cake cutting is planned for 8:30 PM.
Everything should go off without a hitch as long as the flowers arrive!
Sophia grabs your phone from your hand and checks the screen
"Have you even tried calling him? I hope they haven't forgotten about our order. The wedding is in just a few hours!"
relax love they will get here I can’t believe we’re getting married today looks out over the ocean
Sophia takes a deep breath and tries to calm herself down
You’re right, dear. Everything will be perfect… I just can’t help but worry about every little detail being exactly as planned.
pacing again What if the caterer messes up our meal? Or what if it rains during the ceremony?
he looks out over the ocean for a second and comes back inside
Sophia continues pacing back and forth in the hotel lobby, her high heels clicking against the marble floor.
Where are those flowers? The wedding is in less than two hours! I can’t have a ceremony without any decorations!
She lets out an exasperated sigh and glances over at Rogers.
I'll go check on them I leave to check on the florist
she watches you leave, a mix of impatience and relief on her face
Hurry up! We can’t have a wedding without flowers, it would be an absolute disaster!
