Valentine tidbits

Hey, it's Valentine's Day! Although I am hardly a fan of commercialized love, there are a few things I've come across in the past few days that have made this Valentine's Day memorable.

* I was thrilled to see that Jarod, the quirky history buff behind Jarod's Forge is back from a hiatus. He chose to return with a delightful bit on the history of Valentine's day. Read it!

* My all-time favorite ecards website (someecards.com) is full of snarky, hilarious cards to send people that have a good sense of humor. Of course they have a fabulous V-day section, like "You make my heart beat entirely too fast." Which reminds me I better send a few before the sun sets.

* Wouldn't it be romantic to get married on Valentine's Day? In Amsterdam? You can, tonight, and then you can throw it all away tomorrow! Wed & Walk lets you marry whomever you want (friend, neighbor, ex, lover) but the marriage is only valid between 6 and 10pm (and costs 30 Euros). Just think of all the couples that will soon be experiencing a brief marital bliss! My fellow blogger Invader_Stu wrote about this first, and is taking the plunge in just a few hours. I can't wait to hear the report on engagement, marriage, marital bliss, and marital dissolution.
