My boyfriend's new 'red flag' is that I might hire a mariachi band at any moment.

I thought it would be the cutest surprise for our anniversary. I forgot he had a quarterly review with his VERY serious boss.
The full story
I pictured it being so romantic! He's working from home, I'd have them sneak into the backyard and start playing. And then it happened. I give the signal, and suddenly "Cielito Lindo" is blasting through the house. I peek into his office and he has this look of pure horror on his face, staring at his monitor. All I can hear is his boss over the laptop speakers going "...what is that?" Best anniversary ever!
