aw, that's unfortunate. i would think a lot of women would like that a lot. props to you for trying to be sweet and romantic... maybe you could talk with your wife about what she would rather have too.

wow that's hella dumb of your wife, but a gold rose? I like that idea I might get my girlfriend it one day thanks for the idea and hope she made it up to you if ya kno what I mean

Haha nevermindsense that was an absolutely beautiful display of words! Weaving simple words together in such a manner to intensify the intelligence of them, a skill that many, unfortunately, overlook so easily. It is not often I meet someone else proficient in this talent. I say you must, if you have not done so already, look into becoming a debator of some sort, your skill, which I consider to be comparable to mozart's works, would be invaluable in that line of work. A well crafted sentence can easily persuade any commoner. "If you argue a point the right way you can never be wrong." -me

Look on the bright side. You now have a solid (no pun intended) little investment for yourself. Your wife doesn't like it? Fine. Give the price of gold significant time to rise and you have yourself a hefty chunk of pocket change all to yourself.

aww sorry! you get your wife a beautiful gift and she's ungrateful and bitchy about it!

POP A BITCH. and ill take the flower, if youve not got a mistress to give it to

I have absolutely NO idea what something being "too Italian" has to do with a damn thing! Is that something to ashamed of? I mean, if the gift was a... iduno, a toilet in the front yard, I can see someone saying "Wow that's redneck." But Italian? That doesn't make sense to me. And OP, your wife needs to learn a thing or two about accepting gifts. That's rude as hell. I'm sorry, and I think that's an AMAZING gift. My opinion. PS I haven't read many comments so this all could have already been explained =O hah

OMG, ive never heard of something like that...it sounds beautiful. At least now you can appreciate it yourself. Sorry, OP. It must have hurt when you were really excited and happy, and she rejected your thoughtful gift. It's clear you must have planned it beforehand and put a lot of thought into it, otherwise your wife's reaction would not be on here. u got my sympathy

YDI for marrying a chick who says "Italian" when she means "tacky." The saddest thing is that I've totally heard Italian used that way before. Since when did a nationality become synonymous with tack? I think of Italians as being really cool. Also a gold dipped rose is a bit gauche, but a very nice gift. It's the intention that's something to cherish.

F your wife instead of F your life. Your wife is the tacky one for talking like that.
