I chose Valentine's Day to marry my wife. I think only doing chocolates or flowers is for sissy's.
It will be 15 years this Feb.14th. A personal best for me!
('Real reason' for choosing Valentine's Day to marry... In the past 14 years I've never gotten in trouble for forgetting our anniversary!
)
Here in Japan, it's up to the women to buy chocolates for the men on Valentine's Day!! And if you think Christmas is hyped up in the USA, you should see Valentine's Day in Japan!
(Don't worry, ladies. We have to buy you chocolates on "White Day," One month later, in March 14, there is the White Day, created by the Japanese National Confectionery Industry Association as a "reply day", where men have to buy sweets for all the ladies in our lives.)
