Blushing brides and cosmonauts don't meet their bitter end

[venta]

Earlier today, I had an email from a hotel who thought I might be tempted by their super-special Valentine's package[*]. Among various epic meals and chocolatey promises, it includes "rose petals on the bed".

To which my reaction was "you what"? Isn't that, like, a really bad idea? Won't they get crushed and stain the bedding? Won't they get stuck to all parties involved? Won't they wrinkle up awkwardly and work themselves into odd corners of the sheets and make it really uncomfortable? Not to mention that they'll probably make me and any other hayfever sufferers sneeze.

Am I just hopelessly unromantic and/or practical? Am I missing an important point? Or is this really just one of those ideas that is far better in theory than practice?

[*] I wasn't. But that's not important right now.

Well, I did quite like it apart from the eight-legged part. But then I like the smell of rose petals, and most roses don't contain that much pollen.

Actually, I do wonder if some of my sneezing is pyschosomatic, because I "know" that flower smell => pollen. Doesn't make it any nicer, though :)
