Would someone kindly like to explain how a box of disguised trick sweets from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes wound up in the innocent hands of my poor fiancee? You gave the poor thing a ten-minute nosebleed, whoever you are, and neither of us is taking this very well -- especially since you decided to do so on Valentine's Day.
Honestly. If you're going to play a practical joke on someone, first off: don't do so to my fiancee. Secondly: don't do so to my fiancee. And lastly: go somewhere more high-end than Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

The question of the day is, apparently, "'green and silver' or 'silver and gold'?" I honestly haven't any idea why the color of certain accents matters, though. Regardless of the color scheme, everything will have to look lovely, or else my mother will have a fit, and Gwen will have to outshine everything else, or else I will have a fit at how her beauty will not be receiving the full attention that it deserves. For that matter, isn't the whole ceremony and wedding day supposed to be more about the bride than the bridegroom? Granted, this could very easily be my mother's so-called 'philosophy' talking through me, but, if the day is meant to be more Gwen's than mine, does my opinion on the color scheme really matter? I figure that, so long as all the women in this venture are pleased and the children are Pure.
There are nominally more important things to handle than color schemes anyway. Certain finances need balancing, and there are charitable donations to be reported on, and, apparently, someone up at Hogwarts needs to be informed again of the fact that the "Mr. Harper" they're so interested in sending owls about my siblings' (meaning, Edmund's) conduct disorders to is no longer with us. Paperwork, paperwork, and still more paperwork -- here I was under the impression that so-called adulthood was about more than simply filling out forms and sending the third copy of a particular owl to the same person.
Additionally, a hypothetical situation: suppose that there is a fourteen-year-old girl, Ravenclaw fourth year, who happens to be turning fifteen in a little over a month. All she wants for this birthday is an exotic pet of some sort, but not so exotic that she can't have it at school. Suppose also that she is a rather sensitive thing, that her feelings are easily damaged, and that she is often rather lonely. Should she get some manner of exotic cat, or some manner of exotic owl?
