Dude this would be the best valentines day ever. I could settle for a night of piece of quiet too.

I went with flowers and a card. The flowers were from a local supermarket, so they were not outrageous at all. I think $15. She has a ton of vases at home, so I put them in one.
Minding the digital age, I posted a couple of nice things on her Facebook and sent her an auto-generated Valentine e-mail from Yahoo (which I found hilarious). She seems very happy. Even with the self-admitted auto-gen message, which was corny as hell.
Victory. We'll probably go get dinner at a nice place sometime soon. We learned our lesson early on about how foolish it is to go to a nice restaurant on Valentine's day. They pack people in like sardines, service blows, meal ends up lower quality due to the enormous volume of people, and to ice the cake, they mark it up too. Fuck that. We both enjoy a good dining experience, and Valentine's day was far from one.

The last time we went out on valentines day I actually got reservations. When we got their the foyer was packed with people. Apparently the reservations were bullshit and we had to wait an hour to be seated.

I shell out money for a nice bouquet every year, and sometimes randomly during the year just for the hell of it. My wife is not girly about many things, but flowers is most definitely on that short list. Its worth dropping a Benjamin every once in a while to make her feel happy. In a pinch, Ralphs flowers work pretty well to get me out of the dog house on occasion too, but I have no problem dropping a hundo once a year to brighten her day at the office. Fuck it, its only money.

Nobody married for the most part. Almost all the flowers, chocolates, and teddy bears received at the office were from "boyfriends". One chick received a bunch of mail order flowers in a cardboard box via UPS that her BF ordered and boy was she pissed..
I'm telling you, the Mormons have it straight. We have a bunch at the office and the guys didn't do crap V-day related for their wives. In fact, as usual, one of their wives showed up at work with a fresh cake she had just finished baking with a big heart on it for her husband.

Depends on your idea of marriage. My wife would arguably be my best friend even if she was not my wife, so I like to keep her happy when it is within my means to do so. I guess if you have a showboat wife or servant wife, yeah fuck this holiday.

I like to think I have the same kind of relationship with my wife. But that has nothing to do with this holiday. It's bullshit, it really is. Just some shit someone made the fuck up and told you to do. Which, granted, could describe most holidays. All, really. But it isn't important to me or my wife. If I sent her some giant fucking bear and 500 dollars worth of flowers to her work, she would be embarrassed and it would be unprofessional and reflect on her there. Ain't nobody got time for that. I got her an orchid for the house, she loves orchids and will inevitably kill it within a couple of weeks so I did my part for consumerism.

If I send flowers to my wife at work I deliver them myself right before her lunch and take her out to eat. The price of buying the flowers myself, delivering them myself and a quick lunch comes off as thoughtful, cheaper than delivery flowers/services and her co workers envy her more than anyone else who may get more fancy shit delivered.

Do you deliver a solid clothesline to any women that dare gossip about you, on the way out?

We're out of town visiting my family for the weekend so I asked my parents to watch kids and made dinner reservations for last night. I think it is the first time we've been out on Valentines day since the kids so it was perfect.
Flowers can be nice sometimes, but I'd rather get them as a random surprise than because a holiday told me I was supposed to get them. I'd rather we didn't spend money on silly Valentines stuff and just spend time together in the evening or something.

The lady I mentioned a while back who I intend to marry informed me that she doesn't want Valentines day. She was raised religious and has never really had a Valentines but we have been trying all the other Holiday's. We have done most of the Holidays with friends. But she thinks Valentines is sad and stupid. She said we could have our own day and I quote "We could have Video games and sex day". I am a lucky man.

Usually a big boot to the face, clotheslines are tacky and will be looked down upon by onlookers.
For V-Day the wife and I did't do much other then exchange cards, I got her some dark chocolate truffles and we went out to dinner. We do things on V-Day more so to celebrate the day of our engagement then anything else.
