Happy Valentine’s Day!
By Never teh Bride
To all those who receive engagement rings today, I say congratulations! Unfortunately, I do not number among you. Ah, well. I gave The Beard software for Valentine’s Day and he gave me a beautiful flame point Siamese cat named Mannix. Tonight we will dine together - perhaps in, perhaps out, depending on how my workday goes. Of course, we dine together every night and love each other every day, so I can’t complain.
Valentine’s Day makes me think about all of the ways one could incorporate the pinks and reds and candy hearts of this Hallmark holiday into a wedding theme. A white dress with red or pink accents can look divine. Paired it with a romantic old-fashioned cloak because, hey, February can be chilly! Roses (red or pink) for the ladies, of course, and red bow ties for the gents make a classic statement. Soft lighting creates an atmosphere of romance. Keeping the reception music as classicaly romantic as possible can help, too. Give out those chalky Valentine hearts as favors instead of chalky Jordan almonds. Let guests toss (biodegradable) heart shaped confetti instead of birdseed. The possibilities are endless.
Happy Valentine’s Day, all! If you got engaged today, let me know!

We actually got engaged on February 6th while on vacation in Vegas, but I have it on good authority that the proposal would have been on Valentine’s Day had our trip not been pushed up a week due to schedule conflicts. My boyfriend proposed while we were watching the fountain show at the Bellagio, and then we had dinner at Fatburger. It was perfect.
