Do you celebrate it?
I know a lot of people think its a Hallmark holiday- last year we weren't going to celebrate, but John surprised me and got me a gift, I don't think we will be celebrating this year- but I was wondering how many people do?

I'll give my kitties some extra special scritches that day, but otherwise, it's just another day to me. Do you think the fact that I'm single has anything to do with that?


Oh yeah - I will probably buy my daughter a little chocolate, just because.

I love Valentine's Day and I don't care if it is a "hallmark" holiday
My fiance and I don't buy Christmas gifts for each other, we just wait until Valentine's Day

We don't celebrate per say. He'll usually get me some chocolate, a bunch of flower (NOT roses), or a live plant and I usually get him a cute card and some peanut M&M's. Beyond that we don't do anything really. We prefer to make a big show of our love on random days through out the year! Instead of once a year.

I don't care if it's a hallmark holiday. My boyfriend and I always do something special, and give each other a gift. I think it's nice to have a day to remind someone just how much you love them.

We usually go out to dinner, which we only do about once a month, and get each other a small something. We haven't had many to celebrate yet.

I think its nice too- I'm sure he'll get me some chocolate or flowers, but nothing bigger than that (although I wouldn't object to some jewlery!
)

We don't buy gifts anymore, but we will go out to dinner or maybe make a nice dinner at home if we're not working that night. Honestly, it's never been a big thing for us so we don't stress if we can't spend it together or do something special.

My fiance proposed to me on Feb. 15th because he said it was too common to do it on the 14th
I knew it was coming and was devastated that it didn't happen on Valentines... looking back the extra day made no difference, but at the time it sure did

Valentines Day?? If there was a smiley shooting itself in the face, I would use it right *here*.

It will be my first Valentines day as a single girl...will someone shoot me? Please?

Your DH planned your WHOLE WEDDING! I am jealous!!

Well, maybe not. If my husband had planned our wedding we probably would have been eating hot dogs as the main course!
And lord only knows what the flowers would have looked like!

My mom told my husband, and my dad, that they had two jobs during the wedding planning process: Shut up, and show up!! My mom, sister and I planned the whole thing.

Oh MY Gosh, I bet it did make a difference
But that's sweet that he wanted to be different. I think my DH chose Valentines Day so he would never forget our Anniversary
