For many couples in love, young and old alike, Valentine’s Day is a great way to set aside the day-t0-day tasks and schedules that seem to rule our lives sometimes and let that certain someone in your life know just how much they mean to you. Whether it be a romantic dinner in a nice restaurant, a sunny picnic, or even just a card and a hug, Valentine’s Day is a great day for spending time with the one closest to you. Valentine’s Day is also perhaps one of the most popular days of the year for couples to get engaged. Several of my friends were proposed to on Valentine’s Day, and their engagement story is always one riddled with romance and sweetness. Be SURE to remember ladies, that not all men are born with the romantic gene that knows exactly what the right thing to romance you on Valentine’s Day should be. This morning in fact, I rolled over and told my husband, “Happy Valentine’s Day”, to which he responded, “Today is Valentine’s Day? I thought it was on the 16th.” I love him. He was being completely serious, but he still made me laugh.
For some reason, Valentine’s always brings back memories of college. Instead of celebrating Valentine’s Day, a group of the single girls in my dorm would have a “Val-o-ween” party. Our Val-o-ween parties were open to only single girls, and girls who had no plans for Valentine’s day. We had great anti-love songs and yummy snacks. While I dated throughout college, there were times when I still went to the Val-o-ween parties for the fun of it. This was a bit off the subject, but maybe I’m a bit off today as well. Just remember that whether or not you have a date for Valentine’s day, remember to have fun and don’t sit around wallowing in self-pity because you haven’t found your Mr. Right yet. Get out and have some fun.
So ladies remember, Valentine’s Day isn’t about what your boyfriend or husband does for you, or buys for you. It’s about taking some time out to tell that special person in your life what they mean to you, and to really show them that you care. I hope everyone has a fabulous Valentine’s Day, or Val-o-ween (whatever your circumstances may be).
