offtopic..
I don't know any memes.
But Valentine's Day is considered (at least by the way our local media presents it) to be absolute commercial garbage.
I don't need someone to tell me when to love my wife - I love her without some "dictate of a date", every day :-)

My husband and I found February 14th to be a very useful date. We couldn't remember when we first got together - sometime in the very early spring so we used it to mark our anniversary. We lived together for six years before we got officially and legally married but we never could remember our actual wedding date - sometime in July. We continued to use February 14th as a place marker because how in the heck would we ever forget it when it's advertised everywhere for weeks. Now for the romantic part. We decided to make it legal because I had changed jobs and lost my health insurance - an important thing when you've got four kids. He did officially propose at a New Year's Eve party. That night we had a bad ice storm and were without electricity for four days. Then the following July, we ran off, told no one not even the kids, and got married in Tennessee. We were visiting his brother. Then I spent my wedding night with my sister-in-law and newborn nephew and he went to a Memphis Chicks game with his brother. Be still my beating heart! Thirty five years (I think...can't remember the year either) and we never stopped laughing.  |

I don't know how lame it is (probably very lame, lol), but I got married on Valentine's Day. Instead of "Be my Valentine" I'm a proud owner of the sentence "Be my Wife!". Now, all that happened by chance on a Thursday 20 years ago, at 4pm. Since I had to go to work by 7pm (I worked in a beach bar in that time), and it was Valentine's Day nobody would change their shift with me - so after getting married at 4, we ran home, I changed into my work uniform, and ran to work throughout the night...
We are still happily married! And instead of Valentine's Day we celebrate our Anniversary on Feb.14.
PS: we did have a honey moon few month later in case you have started to cry over my miserable wedding lol

Oh yes! I got fairly drunk during the shift - and my newly wed hubby was sitting in the bar all night long to spend the first night as married couple with me. (He got wasted, too, the bar owner drove us home in the morning) Awwww! How did I get so lucky?!
