If Life Were Like Rust (Wedding Planning Edition)

Planner: I think we're finally set. We have the venue scheduled, the DJ is set, the caterer is ready, the photographer is available. All deposits have been paid. But we have one small problem - the flowers.

Planner: That isn't going to work.

User: Why not!?

Planner: Because we cannot guarantee that the lifetime of the flowers will outlive the lifetime of the wedding.
