The Wrath of Bridezilla
"I need Peonies," my mom said, burying her hands in her face. "This is a flower shop. Why don't you have the flowers I need?"The elderly florist wiped some sweat from her brow. My mom had that effect on people. Her third wedding was the following Saturday, and everything had to be perfect."I'm so sorry miss, we just don't have any peonies right now.
