It's interesting see that
jbird's writeup seems to assume that
Valentine's Day is strictly one where men do things for women. (And increasingly this
assumption is shared by the big corporations as well.)
I find this
annoying, Valentine's Day is about celebrating shared love, not placing one half of the couple on a pedestal. If you have to remind someone that you love them on Valentine's Day,
then why don't you the rest of the year? Being together is the important part. (My Lady and I agree with
mblase's writeup, the meal and other accoutrements are not as important as the sharing.)
To supplement mblase's writeup, I suggest that you also check out
