The most romantic day of the year is finally here again – February 14, Valentine's Day, the one day of the year in which love is shown through the gifting of soft pedals, sweet confectionary, and wine with bubbles in it.

If you missed it, here is our comprehensive list of Valentine's Day event suggestions, but it appears to not be so comprehensive as new entries keep piling in (right up until this morning!).
