You Got the Wrong Movie!

February 13th 2009 11:31

Lesley Heague in Rose Petals

If you want to make your man happy for Valentine’s Day and turn his favourite movie into a real life scene, you had better first get the movie right. That’s what Lesley Heague, a 25 year old woman from the UK, found out after a lot of expense.

Heague spent $1,200 for the surprise including an expensive penthouse suite where she could recreate the famous rose petal scene from American Beauty, hired a photographer so she could have a personal card made for the occasion and bought all the petals.

The romantic gesture didn’t go to plan when Heague realised her boyfriend had never even seen the movie.

The whole confusion arose after Heague had asked her 21 year old boyfriend Luke Scrase what his favourite movie was. The answer ….American Gangster.

Unfortunately, she had misheard him.

Yes, it certainly does but you'd think he would have enjoyed it anyway.

Gangster, beauty; yes, they almost rhyme....

And agreed, whether he'd seen it or not you'd think he'd have enjoyed the surprise none the less. He'd better have, considering how much it cost her.

Hey Wynona

The effort alone she had gone to should have been a turn on for him....or so you would think.

Thanks for the comment.

I think it's funny she had herself photographed like that too...

I'd be very surprised if it didn't ingite his senses at least, and certainly such an effort would be heartwarming

The photo was meant to be for a card she would give him as a keepsake.

OO

You would certainly think so. In fact, if he hadn't seen it before you'd think he would have thought the whole episode quite a creative one!

Thanks for the visit.

Domestic deafness strikes again. If however, he didn't find this hot, he has no pulse. What an effort she went to. Maybe they watched American Beauty for Valentine's Day...I watched True Blood, what does that say about me?
