I don't usually do much for V-day but have celebrated the last five or so with someone... usually dinner or something.
The BEST V-day was two years ago w/ my current DBF- we went up to the mountains in VA (we went to William and Mary at the time) and stayed in a B&B. Then the next day we went touring wineries. It was SO much fun
I have no memorable Valentine's stories...unless you count the year that my then boyfriend brought me 1/2 dozen roses...because he had the other 1/2 doz for the girl he was cheating on me with.
I've never been crazy about Valentine's Day - I always told my husband that I would rather get one rose on any "ordinary day" than a dozen on V-day.
I just don't like all the forced sentimentality.
Having said that, I would be SO STEAMED if DH forgot/didn't acknowledge Valentines Day! How weird is that?!?
Last year, a local forest organized a Valentine's Night Hike. We set out at sunset, then hiked through an easy path that had been lit by candlelight (in hurricane glasses). That was kinda fun! We went out to dinner at Steak and Shake afterwards - romantic, right?
I've got my first one with my girl friend that i have been dating for 5 months, i know thats not to long, but i want to make it a good one, She deserves it!!!
I used to think Vday had to be a big production, flowers, candy, dinner out, the works. Then I met Dh. Now, Dh has NEVER forgotten or ignored Vday. I always get flowers (size of bouquet depends on our financial state at the moment, could be a single rose, could be 2 dozen) and he always says he loves me. BUT, each year he sends me an email. Just a short, sweet email from the heart that says how much he loves me and how grateful he is for me. And he writes it all himself. He's not much on flowery words so that gesture in itself takes a lot of thought on his part. I've kept them all and when I feel insecure I just have to read them. That being said, someday I want to have dinner on Vday at the restaurant in the Eiffel Tower with Dh. That would be the ultimate for me.

My birthday is a few days after Valentines Day, so we usually save the going out etc. for that day.
My best memories of Valentines Day are making that Valentine holder out of a shoebox and exchanging Valentines with my classmates in elementary school. Good times

VD lands during the week this year so I probably wont get to see BF on VD. I would much rather have him show me he cares than give me something. Flowers and candy are nice and I would appreciate them. But having him do something special or unique would be better. A card or letter would be something I would totally dig on. Waking up with a nice text message would be great. Or if he did something really out there....like plan a get away for us. Or planned for us to do something that was "us". But if he really really wanted to make me happy, getting something done for me that I normally wouldn't do myself would make me soooooo happy. Like surprising me with geting my car washed, a tune up or getting my tail light fixed. He knows what I like. He is a sweetie (my sweetie) and just talking to him on VD will be enough for me.
My best Valentine's Day ever was in 2002. DH and I were sitting in a booth at TGI Friday's in Moscow, Russia, holding our new baby daughter in our arms and eating our first meal together as a family. We walked around Moscow that night holding our daughter and in disbelief that we finally had a baby. It was VERY surreal and I will remember it forever.
