This is beautiful – Flowers from anonymous donors are being delivered to SF couples waiting in line to get married. The cards read like this: “With love from Minneapolis, Minnesota.” It all started on Thursday when someone got the idea, and found a florist who agreed, he told someone about it, who told someone, who sent out and email to friends, who posted it on weblogs, and tada! the best meme of all time. The delivery is expensive, so someone else set up a donations page where you can contribute what you can. I first read about this Thursday on boing boing.
