Valentine’s Day stories

[cgasner1]

I’m sure you guys have to have some funny stories for the day. My best one is about 6 years ago I was doing some work in an alley in a little town cutting over some transformers. Whatever reason I had an oops and hooked the wrong wires together and knocked the power out of the floral shop at around 330 in the afternoon on Valentine’s Day. To say the owner came out upset would be an understatement. What are the odds of working on a flower shop on Valentine’s Day. Forman was laughing pretty hard he had plans on slipping in and buying his wife some flowers but opted out of that idea after we got them back in power.

Met my wife on Valentine's Day. Out drinking with the boys and she was in there after working for her mom. Mom ran a flower shop. One year I got roped into doing deliveries for her.

My Now Wife told me straight up: “I don’t celebrate Hallmark Holidays.”

25 years together later…

Yeah, I married her. 21 years ago.

She’s off the market boys. Sorry, but not.

#*^@#* V-Day. I don’t cowtow to any holiday designed around fake guilt.

Good friend of mine's boyfriend noticed her fingernails; pink hearts (yeah, she's girly-girl), and said, what are those for? Valentine's Day, what else? He said, oh, I don't celebrate Valentine's Day. She said, oh, you do now .

I bought the wife a new car through the business. She didn’t know the particulars. I didn’t say. I had her go get the mail yesterday. The title was there. She was happy.

I got my wife a conch shell necklace, and a card reminding her of when we free-dived for conch on our way to Sting-Ray City on Grand Cayman, with conch ceviche for lunch (I found three), and a necklace from the Plaza in Santa Fe, where we began (but were too poor to buy anything). Any day to love someone is a good day. Look up the actual St. Valentine. Peace to all.

Well done longbow.

I went goose hunting on Valentine's day with my oldest friends. I did send her flowers though.

Married 31 years. Wife always says dont worry about it then gets me a card amd chocolate. Grown kids always give me a hard time. So this year I made her promise she would seriously not get me anything. No games. We for real aren't doing it. She agreed. Then I got her a card, roses and chocolate. Probally not to many guys have bought that for their wives and been called names. Lol. Its been 2 days. Its got a ton of milage already. Especially with the kids. All in good fun of course

Maybe that’s why she was mad at me on Saturday… She always says we don’t celebrate those hallmark holidays. It’s about a 50/50 chance she will decide the day of that I should have done something and then be mad at me because of it. I mostly worked in the yard trying to finish up her office. She will appreciate it later, I hope!
