Southern Weddings

This turned out lovely, I am quite honored to have been chosen. Hubby is going to adore this :)

My fiance is my special valentine of course :) What make him so special is his BIG HEART! I once saw him pick up the tab for a homeless man at a deli shop during the holidays and he had no idea I was watching him from outside. My heart practically melted and it reminds me why I love him so!

My fiance is my valentine! He is special to me for so many reasons. He has always been there for me, and he can read me like a book. I’m not sure I will ever meet anybody who will define love for me the way he has, and always will! He has encouraged me to grow, and is always there to catch me when I fall. He’s my prince charming, without the plastic smile. :)

My favorite Valentine is the one I am going to spend the rest of my life with. No one can make me feel the way he does. There has never been anyone in my life to treat me as well as he does. He knows how to make me realize the small things and he can always take all my stress away after a long, horrible day. There is no one in my life that could be my special valentine other that my fiance.

Like everyone else, my fiancee is my valentine. He’s more than I ever dreamed of. He has exceeded my wildest dreams and loved me more than I ever thought possible. He inspires me to grow. Hell, he inspires everyone to grow… he’s a drug rehab therapist for homeless women. For him, I’d do anything. Climb mountains, slay dragons, shoot down stars…. It’s everything I can do not to spend all my money buying him a present every day.

My fiance is my Valentine. He has a heart of gold and loves me unconditionally.

My valentine is the sweetest, gentlest man. He gives the best hugs, does things around the house happily and without my ever having to ask, and he loves me despite my many quirks. We laugh together often. I’m so blessed to be spending the rest of my life with him.

My Valentine is my finace of five days, he proposed a mere five days ago on my birthday. He is my valentine because he is the most kind and generous person I have ever met. I know, it sounds cliche and stupid, but he really is. He is the one person who tells me that I am "the most beautiful person" he has ever seen, whether or not it’s five in the evening or five in the morning – complete with bedhead. He is also the most wonderful valentine because I was hospitalized yesterday with a horrible migraine and he stayed by my bedside for the eight hours I was admitted. He left work, drove to my side and didn’t utter a single complaint. And, last night he made sure I was safely tucked into bed before leaving for the evening. He even called my parents to conference about my hospital stay, given their home out of state. He is just wonderful and he has proven to me so many times that he is a good, strong, and unbelievably wonderful man. And, for that he is and always will be my valentine.

My valentine’s are my fiance who I met for the first time on valentines day, and my best friend who is the one who set us up! She and I also went out together for the first time ever on valentines day. It is a super important day for me because it is an anniversary day with the two most wonderful people in my life.

My fiance is my valentine. He loves me for who I am quirks and all! One of the things I love about him is his caring heart.

Although my fiance is about as wonderful as they come, this year, my Valentine is my dad. This will be the last Valentine’s Day before "daddy’s little girl" marries the man of her dreams and starts her own family. My dad has had a couple of health issues this last year and I’ve realized how precious our time is together. I’m hoping that our wedding will strengthen his weakend heart and fill it with love.

Well, my fiance is the obvious choice, but I am going to go with my wonderful Dad. He is the hardest working, nicest and classiest gentleman I know. He has taught me so much about life from "show up 10 minutes early to work and leave 10 minutes late" to how to drive a car. He has put up with me (and my adorable sister) though thick and thin, car wrecks and horrible ex-boyfriends, and for all of those reasons, HE is my valentine!

My valentine is my boyfriend who will some day be my husband. We have discussed this.

My fiance is my Valentine. I choose him because he helps me take myself less seriously. When i try and do too many to-do list items on the weekend, he makes me have fun instead and when i just get in a funk he makes jokes or tickles me.

My Valentine is my new husband! We’ll be celebrating 9 years as a couple in April and an album of our September wedding would be the perfect gift for him.

My Valentine this year is my wonderful boyfriend. He is such an amazing boyfriend, and we are looking forward to getting engaged in the near future. He loves me for who I am. I have never felt so comfortable around anyone in my whole life. He understands me and makes me want to be a better person everyday.

My Valentine is smart, sweet, and the funniest human I know. We started dating when I was sixteen years old and I still get excited when he walks through the front door.

My valentine is my momma. I do have a fiance- and I love him very much, and hes been a fantastic v-tine many a times before. This valentine’s day it’s my mothers turn. She has been my saving grace in all of my wedding planning- she keeps me grounded when I get big ideas and picks me up when I start getting burnt out. She’s my DIY-buddy even though she’s DIY-challenged and I couldn’t thank her enough for all of her support. I know I’m hard to get along with at times- often bordering on Brizilla. She embraces all of my non-traditonal ideas even when they don’t jive with her own. I love her to bits- my momma is my valentine.

My valentine is my fiance Chris. There are so many reasons why he’s special to me, but it’s the little things that I think of most. Like how he waits to make sure I’m safe when he drops me off somewhere. Or how he randomly buys me a spatula with Santa Clauses all over it because he knows how much I love Christmas. He’s just so thoughtful and sweet!

My valentine this year are my parents. They’ve been going through a tough time in their marriage and were near divorce around Thanksgiving. They’ve slowly made changes in both their lives, had some honest revelations about their personalities and are on the path to rebuilding what they’ve lost in their 30+ years of marriage. They efforts inspire me and give me hope as my finace and I are planning our wedding.

My fiance is my valentine. He is special because he loves our kitties almost as much as he loves me!

My valentine is my fiance’. Not a moment goes by that I don’t think about how happy he has made me. He is loving and kind and knows how to make me smile. We have our share of arguments, as any couple does, but he has a way to forgive & forget which allows us to move on with our lives. He is amazing in every sense of the word. I am eternally grateful for having met him and I am forever blessed to have him in my life.

I am lucky to have 3 Valentines! My wonderful boyfriend of ten years, who is my best friend and the love of my life. He is my big valentine who also gave me our 2 little valentines, our 2-year old boy JC and our 4-month old boy JP! The three of them are my life!

My Valentine is my fiance’ Gregory Oliver Moses. There are many things about Gregory that make him special, not only to me, but to others. I believe that my acknowledgements per my dissertation summarize how special he is to me. It reads as follows:What is right in front of you and yet is impossible to see? The answer is atoms. An atom is the smallest particle of matter that can exist. How did people figure out atoms existed when they are so small they can’t be seen? They used the scientific method. They came up with theories which explained the facts, and then tested the theories with experiments to see if they worked. Bit by bit, all the evidence piled up until the atomic theory was the only good way to explain how matter worked. In that regard, the following individuals and groups are the theory which help to explain how I, the atom, work and matter…To my NEUTRON, my constant. God sent the most unlikely to me at the most unlikely time. Thanks for being my Pollyanna. Because we have been called to a higher standard, may we continue to Plan Prayerfully, Prepare Purposefully, and Pursue Persistently, so that we can “publically announce what we privately already know.”

My valentine is my fiance Jared. He is so special to me bc of his love and heart for God and he lets me hold his hand the way I like (with my thumb tucked between the palms of our hands.)

My boyfriend is my valentine. The way he loves me is amazing. He puts me first and foremost in every decision he makes and my needs above his. He surprises me with the littlest most amazing/ thoughtful things. He continues to make me fall deeper in love with him everyday. I never in a million year thought I would find someone like him. If I have a man like him any girl who has patience can find a man just as amazing. All I hope is that I treat him with as much love and adoration as he does to me. I could never want anything more.

These albums are truly gorgeous…what a beautiful piece to display on our coffee table! My valentine doesn’t get one day out of the year to hear how much he makes my world go round….to take one day out of the whole year to tell him I love him would mean not giving the man that loves me the credit he deserves–working 7 days a week through day, evening, on call, and over night shifts, my valentine is a first year emergency medicine resident and an active duty captain in the Army. I couldn’t be prouder of him as he works himself to the bone to form the life he wants to give me and our future family. Even when he’s the most exhausted and coming off of working a 20 hour shift, he still makes time to hear about wedding planning updates. So one day of the year isn’t enough for him….he’s my valentine every day of my life.

My valentine is a guy that I literally grew up with. . .same schools, same neighborhood. We both ran in parallel circles but never connected until 14 years later! He is the first man where I have said, to myself, of course, "Okay–I can follow your lead." If you know me, that’s impressive. It’s his quiet strength, leadership and compassion that bowled me over.

My Sweetheart is Paul, and I love him for protecting all of us and still having a huge heart. His poem to me: "Be someone Special", That’s what the poster said, I always thought I was just that, So onward I read. See exotic places, Visit Foreign Lands, From Singapore’s Bustling Streets, To the Mid East’s Desert Sands. The sailor travels around the world, to places few folks go. But at home he’s left a wife and kids, the family he doesn’t know. She has fought the Doctor’s, the repairs, and paid the bills. He has been a travelling, seeing sights, enjoying thrills. The sailor sails around the world, He’s there in times of strife, but make no mistake about it, the "Someone Special" is his wife. We are celebrating the engagement of our daughter as we celebrate our own 33rd anniversary on Feb 14.

My Valentine is my fiancee, Alex. This is the man who rubs my feet after I come home from work exhausted, it’s the man who through the length of our long distance relationship would sit on the phone with me until I feel asleep every night and sing me Johnny Cash lullabys, its the man who made all my dreams come true 6 months ago today by asking me to be his wife. Happy Valentine’s Everyone!!!!

my valentine is my fiance. we’re getting married in less than 8 weeks now. all I feel is peace… no stress… no worry about colors or design… just peace. I’ll get to marry my best friend.

My valentine is my fiance Joe. He often stops by my office to take me out to lunch and when he comes to the office he will make sure he speaks to every co-workers in the office just to see how their day is going. Also, twice a week he will play our favorite songs, move the coffee table and we dance the night away. I know it is time to dance when he greets me at the door with a glass of wine when I come home from a long day of work. We dance and laugh and toast to spending the rest of our lives together. I know my life with him will be full of joy and laughter. He truly is my best friend.

I have two Valentine’s this year: my amazing fiance, and soon to be husband in August, and my 88 year old Papa, whom I absolutely adore and love spending time with.

My Valentine in my fiance, Patrick. In the midst of scrimping and saving every extra dollar we have for our wedding next year, I told him not to worry about getting me anything for my birthday or Valentine’s Day (my b-day is February 12th), and I absolutely meant it. When I came home from work yesterday, there was a lovely bouquet of flowers waiting for me on the coffee table. I was completely surprised and touched.

My valentine is my boyfriend of 5 years. We met my freshman year of college and since then he’s given me the best 5 years of my life. The last year for me has been pretty rough, my sister is in the army and was deployed to Iraq the week after Christmas. It’s honestly been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through, everyday worrying if anything has happened or having mini panic attacks everytime there is a death in Iraq. My boyfriend has gotten me through this whole situation. I don’t know how I could have handled this if he had not been in my life, comforting me and assuring me that everything will be ok. He’s always been a steady rock for me and for that I’ll always feel blessed and thankful.

I’m a nut about Valentine’s Day! Its by far my favorite holiday, and each year I giggle with anticipation and sigh lovingly at the pinks and reds that temporarily paint store windows. Come February 14th, I turn our house into the land of hearts and spend too much money sending treats to everyone I know…therefore I have several Valentines: my husband Joshy for when he gives me that gushy feeling, my best friend JoEllen for putting up with my ridiculousness, my best friend Devon for her ability to keep me grounded, and my little sister Sara Elizabeth, just because.

my valentine is my best friend kate: she is special to me because we’ve been best friends since seventh grade, i moved half way around the country, and she moved there too after not seeing each other for six years. she is tried and true, and loves me always, and even when boys screw me over, she’s there!

This is the first Valentine’s Day I have spent apart from my Valentine, James, since I met him. He graduated last year and is working hard a couple states away, preparing for our life together. He is the most amazing man I have ever known. We met as members of the Ballroom Dance Team at my school, and I fell in love with him as we waltzed across the room, my feet barely touching the ground, and my heart soaring. Earlier today I was on the phone with him, crying because I miss him so much. James began to tell me about all these memories of me and us he cherishes, such as holding hands for the first time, our awkward first non-kiss (I totally thought he was going for my cheek– he wasn’t), our real first kiss (and how I giggled, hugged him, and ran up to my dorm door after it), the first time we said "I love you" to each other, how we always hold hands when we are in the car together, how I sometimes sleep-talk when I fall asleep while on the phone with him, how I cry at the sight of three-legged dogs and beautiful sunsets, and how he feels like the luckiest man in the world simply walking through campus hand in hand with me. I continued crying, but now it was because I was so happy. He made today a Valentine’s Day to remember even, or perhaps especially, in his absence. I am looking forward to him being the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see at night. For now, though, I take the French saying to heart: "La distance est a l’amour ce que le vent est au feu: elle atisse les grands et eteint les petits". Translation: "Distance is to love what wind is to fire: it strengthens/enlarges the great (big) ones and puts out the small ones". It’s important to remember that distance, although at times incredibly hard, can be a blessing to a relationship. It shows the couple that their love has the big picture in mind, not instant gratification or selfishness. It shows them that they can work together through tough times and be better and stronger for it on the other side. I am so very lucky to be experiencing my Great Love with James.

my valentines is my fiance. our 10th month anniversary is acutally feb 14th. what makes him so special is the fact that i am absolutely and totally in love with him. i would give my kidney to this man. i can not wait until married and start our life together as husband and wife

My valentine is my best friend and my fiance, Winston. What makes him so special to me is that he is not affraid of true intimacy. He tells me in different ways every day why he loves me. Whether its verbal, or a kiss on the head, or a long hug. Sometimes I cannot belive how lucky I am to have him remind me that I am a special person too :)

My Valentine is my fiance, Eric. Because of many things, but of recent note: On the day I was coming home from a long trip abroad, he biked all over Boston to get my favorite snacks and wines. Then, when I missed the train home, he and my friend drove over 300 miles to pick me up.

My Valentine is my fiance. He has the such a good heart and is always able to make me smile!
