Surprise Weddings suck

But flowers don't

I love rununcula. Which you may know as Ranunuculas.

Or if you don’t know them at all I am pleased to introduce to you my favorite flower. Usually they weep a little more than this, stems arcing down with tissue paper heads still high. Tomorrow this might bend a little or the day after. I’m the droopiness, the way they are falling and reaching at once.

Yes that is a puzzle in the background. No I definitely didn’t spend time on the puzzle instead of writing today.

They are in the travel mug that I used to transport my Mounjaro from Denver to Breckenridge. I wish the vessel were a little more plain but sometimes you work with what you have. In fact always you work with what you have.

I am in Breck for the week hoping to get started (or re-started, or re-re-restarted) on a commercial rom com novel. The word commercial of course does not mean it will ever make any money, it’s just on the opposite end of the fiction spectrum from literary. So in theory this will be plot driven not character driven which of course means I have a plot. Which I totally do. It involves a surprise wedding. Surprise for the bride at least. It’s a great idea that has no negative ramifications at all. And wait until you meet the wedding guests. The woman with the phantom twin, the cousins cousin with his wedding date his PO. The dead mother of the bride. The coast guard officer who has to arrive dock side to grab the drowning bride from the bay. They definitely don’t hit it off. There is no way he will understand her in one hour more than her never fiance understood her in years. These folks are going to be amazing if they ever exist.

Which is sort of weird because they are characters and also some of them are dead or imaginary so existence is a little fuzzy if not futile. Not sure if they will be assimilated. If you get this I am proud to be your friend.

I am going to get back to it. I have an outline. I never ever ever ever made outlines in school. Yet here it is. Or there it is in another tab which I will be visiting once I add the photo of the ranunculas. Rununculus? Maybe they should be in the bouquet.

Questions for you:

Is a surprise wedding ever a good idea?

What is the most unusual thing you have ever seen in a bouquet?

Have you come up with an alternative name for the bullet point?

Do you know how to spell ranunnucula?
