is there a special meaning behind 18 roses as opposed to 12? i did a search, but i came up with nothing...
It's a very deep meaning. They sell 6 more roses.
*ding-ding-ding-ding!!!*
Teh Winnnnnnnnar!!!!! The whole flowers thing is just like the whole diamond thing; marketing schemes created by very smart and slick people. A "standard" gets established, then all are expected to meet or exceed that standard.
In other countries and cultures, an engagement ring is not a diamond ring. It's a simple ring that SIGNFIES engagement. See what i'm getting at?
That said, I still buy my GF flowers and roses for a special occassion. I MIGHT buy a dozen roses once or so a year if she actually gave it up w/o bitching about it and then made me a sandwich afterwards...but that's a rarity these days.
What a racket...I'm coming back in the next life as a woman. A full-blown, man-using, gold-digging, pretty-faced, big-breasted, fat-assed, evil whore of a woman. You know; like most women these days.
