I really appreciate it :) I was so touched/moved by how you share the holiday and have not forgotten it. My bf and I will be celebrating the day and I will be making either a Chinese menu (because of the lunar new year) or an Italian one, or maybe a mish-mosh not really sure yet :) I'm leaning towards a light pasta dish with green salad and chocolate dessert, but J wants a repeat of the yee sang I made last year :) We'll see :) We have decided to incorporate elements of your celebration as well but it will just be the two of us :) (this Sunday is also Carnival Sunday). Hopefully this can be a new tradition on our end :) Thanks for checking up on us! Dear Kim – thanks for dropping by again!

Nearly a year has passed since Valentine's Day 2009. As the day is approaching fast and I'm in the middle of composing my poem to read to my wife, I remembered writing to you and wondered if you will be celebrating the day this year and if you have any suggestions of menus or recipes. I hope you have a wonderful day on Sunday. Best wishes. Hi Serina

I hope next year, and the following years, you have a wonderful time. Two things I forgot to mention: We always decorate the table with something red (like red rose petals, red-wrapped chocolates, red balloons, red stars, red roses for te ladies, buttonholes for the men [at different times]), and In 1997 I purchased a lovely picture book on Love which had plenty of space around the entries. In this space I get written by a calligrapher a short note on the evening in the following format: 14 February Name and address of the venue Attendees: Name of each couple One line per couple A short summary of the evening, giving the highlights. Sometimes I get the couples to sign the book at the bottom of the page on which the notes will be written. On one occasion the summary was so long (it was a very romantic evening and a lot happened) that I had to print the notes on a computer, print them and mount it in the book like in scrapbooking. I also take our book along on Valentine's Day to reminisce. BTW, when you write in the address of the venue, we have found it looks nicer and more sophisticated to leave out the street number. Talking of scrapbooking, which wasn't around when I started this book, today, if I was starting out, I would definitely go with a scrapbooking approach. I hope this gives you a few more ideas, which have worked well. Of course you may, Sarina. I hope next year, and the following years, you have a wonderful time.
