Fun Fact!
- Did you know that one theory about the origin of Valentine's Day is that it was originally to celebrate St. Valentine or Valentinus (who may have actually been more than one person), because he married soldiers to their sweethearts during wartime, when it had been forbidden by the Emperor? All is fair in love and war.
