St Valentine's Day, also known as Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is observed on February 14 each year. It is celebrated in many countries around the world, although it remains a working day in most of them.
St. Valentine's Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. Several martyrdom stories were invented for the various Valentines that belonged to February 14, and added to later martyrologies.
The day was first associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18th-century England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). Valentine's Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

Great photograph. Gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling as it reminded me of my wedding and the wonderful wife that I married. Blessings to you and yours.

Thank you so much, Bruce, for the nice comment you took the time to write. I took the wedding pictures for this young couple and I thought this pose really came out good. I hope they have as many happy years of being married as I have had--going on 41 years. Appreciate your comment!
