Yeah, this.

I think it's a nice thing to have, and I don't understand people that say "but why wait for Valentines, you should be like that EVERY DAY". I mean if you can do that every day with your partner even as the years roll by, power to you. I can do it on occasional days, and this just happens to be one of them. I don't do it up any more than one of the more random days that don't get dressed up by everyone, but this is the one that you have to stick with. It's like birthdays and Christmas and Halloween and New Years. You can do all of those things you do on those days any day. But it's cool to have a specific day for it alongside those more random 'surprise' dates.
