Favorite Valentine's day

[finnaroo]

2008. DH took me out to a really swank restaurant. We had been ring shopping, but I didn't think that he had purchased one.

Our meal was lovely. All of a sudden, DH stood up and dropped to one knee. My heart jumped up to my throat.

The bastard was tying his shoe.

He proposed a month later way less romantically. I'm still a little bitter about the whole thing. Besides the big let down, it was a nice evening.

mellochello Was it weird to watch yourself? I keep thinking of the ross & rachel sex tape & when they watched it. Have you seen that episode of Friends yet?

Omg, I consider myself a Friend's fanatic, and I've never seen this episode! Refresh my memory!

Our first Valentine's Day I was still in high school, but DH had graduated. He found out from my friends what class I would be in and he showed up to my class with a big bouquet of flowers. It was adorable. We might have peaked then with the romantics, we didn't even bother to get engaged, we just got married. But I know he's got it in him somewhere. I like this thread, I hadn't thought about that in a long time.


Correct me if I'm wrong tgrimes but isn't that the sexy time that knocked up Rachel?

I mentioned this in the daily thread, but I woke up with strep throat the morning of DH's and my first Valentine's day together. We'd been dating about 2 months at that point and he had made reservations, sent flowers, etc.

I was living at home at that point (had just moved back to my hometown and was saving up for an apartment) so DH came to my parents' house for lasagna and to watch the Olympics. I was really sick and looked rough, plus my parents had gone out the night before to celebrate, so they were home, too. So it was a cozy, romantic evening, just the 4 of us

Obviously it didn't scare him off too badly...

shelbster It's the one with the videotape.

Ross and Rachel disagree over who came onto whom when they hooked up. Ross is determined to prove that it was Rachel, and accidentally reveals that he has the encounter on videotape. Everyone instantly thinks that he is a pervert until he explains that it was unintentional. Rachel is the only friend that does not hear the explanation because after Ross' outburst, she is disgusted and goes back to her and Joey's apartment and locks the door. Ross explains that on the day he and Rachel hooked up, he had a date but reveals to Joey that he hadn't had sex in six months. The scene then flips to a flashback from six weeks earlier. After hearing Ross' problem, Joey tells him the "Europe story", which apparently makes anyone who hears it want to have sex with them. Ross tries it on his date, but she keeps interrupting him as he cannot hold her attention. Joey suggests that Ross videotape himself to see how he can improve, and Rachel comes in. The rest of the gang believe that the filming was unintentional, but all agree that they should see the tape.

Everyone watches (minus the sex part) and sees Rachel tell the Europe story. They all agree it was her that started it. Later that episode Ross & Rachel start to watch the sex part of the videotape.

Here's the scene:

Can you tell I'm a crazy friends fanatic, too?

Haha! Why, yes. Yes, I can! And I totally remember now! Beautiful synopsis! Hahaha! I was thinking it was an episode where they legit filmed and watched a sex tape of theirs!

We knew we were going to try for a baby in the spring of 2013, so we tried to travel as much as possible. The few months before I got pregnant, we were everywhere. We were that annoying couple on FB that people were always like, "you're away again!?" But, we both knew we wouldn't get to do it with a baby, so we used disposable income to take lots of trips. The week before we got pregnant, we went to Mexico for V-Day. It was a fantastic week of tequila and guacamole. We partied, we laid on the beach, it was a really nice memory of the last time we were responsibility free.

@tgrimes I think I'll start somewhere around season 4. Also Netflix fails me. They only have up to season 5 (ish) and then some random episodes. Where else can I watch it?

My Netflix has up to season 10. We are also currently binge watching, I never really watched it before. Love it!!

I may have made a baby in Mexico that same weekend Cherhorowitz. We've discussed this before I believe.

I think I o'd the 18th or 19th of Feb, so it's a stretch, but LO may actually be a Valentine's baby.

Correct me if I am wrong? But weren't some of the babes products of v-day?

H & E were. Dr. K transferred two embryos on Valentine's day 2013 while my husband sat in the waiting area. It was super romantic.

We once went to Medieval Times for Valentines day. I think that is the only time we "celebrated." I am not a big fan of the holiday.
