well – in parts of Asia – there is a “yuanyang” drink, which is a mix of coffee and tea. and there’s also the “michael jackson” drink – which is well, black grass jelly in soy bean milk. :) if those float your unusual boat, Bill!
oh dear – no need to be so disappointed with Brad!
It’s very much being able to perhaps guess at Brad’s perspective – some people, many in fact, myself included, are pre-programmed to show love in ways that may not be fully aligned with how another party perceives love to be shown; and to make things worse – it also takes a while to modify our approach of showing love that is most wished for by the other party.
Call it slowness or unawareness – but Brad loves Toni, and he’s showing it in his own way – still giving her a choice to decide on those things on the list, but not realising she doesn’t want the list in the first place. It’s all give and take, not merely one or the other!

Agree! Life event don’t just magically happen all by themselves – there’s lots of backstaging and organisation that goes into a small event. Planning by Brad and TJ is their way of showing care to Toni – it’s like – “hey I have thought of you and what you would like, and I have thought of what needs to be done for our lives together – give me your inputs! :)”
“BAH – I am a unicorn beetle people!! UNICORN beetle!!”
