This is a new one for me.

I never heard of it until today.

I have never heard of this.

No.

The topic has come up in the past as well - and it’s a really regional thing, very localized to a small part of the Midwest.

That would explain why many, including myself, have never heard of it.

Never heard of it until we reserved a hall for our wedding reception on 10\16\99. It was that or Oct 23 and that is my ex husband's birthday. All was good until we started shopping florist. Luckily we found one and now 26 years later we are still together and still not celebrating it, lol. It does stink when our anniversay falls on and everything is packed. We went to dinner last night and no sweetest day crowd but the Cincinnati Bengals had a home game so even our nicer dinner place was full of fans in white Bengals gear. We found it funny. Yes, they won!

I’m in the Great Lakes region & have a very romantic husband, so I guess that’s why we celebrate, lol. I have finally convinced husband that expensive florist bouquets aren’t necessary tho. So today he brought me beautiful roses from the local grocer, I got him Russel Stoffers mixed candy. We’re going to dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant. I’ll use any excuse to go out to dinner.
