Flowers for the New Couples

This is a great idea. From Boing Boing, we learn of a strategy to send flowers to the gay couples waiting in line to get married in San Francisco.

If some Frisco flower shop were really smart, they’d get a quick-order button on their Web site ASAP. Instead of calling, people could just click the button, enter their credit card details and send off the flowers. As the bouquets apparently start at $35 US, they should also enable people to contribute to group flower purchases.

In truth, what somebody should do, is just create, say, http://www.FlowersForAlandDon.com, which would just serve as a donation page for flowers. Hmmm…

  1. Thank you! We are one of very fortunate couples who received your gift of flowers #(08996). We came to San Francisco from Connecticut in hopes of getting married…and I am happy to say that we are now spouses for life! My husband and I have been together for 9 years and today (February 25, 2004 at 11:00am) we got married in the center of city hall. It was a very simple ceremony that was witnessed by a lesbian couple that we met in line while waiting for our license. They too were married in city hall just a few minutes before us. Sadly to say there was no family around us to share in our moment, but our new friends helped to create a very special memory that will last forever. The flowers that your so generously donated is a beautiful arrangement of pick and purples….tulips, lilies, daisies, snap dragons and tuns of others that I do not know that names of. I wish I could personally thank each and every person who helped to make this the happiest day on my life. Knowing that we have your love and support means a great deal to both of us.
    Sincerely,
    Mr. & Mr. Tim and Toby Barton-Lefebvre, Winsted, CT USA
