  According to legend, Saint Valentine of Rome was imprisoned for performing weddings of young soldiers who were forbidden to marry, and he was later executed for the said causes on 14th of February. But it was not until late 18th century that the day was celebrated to express one’s love in the romantic sense. Ever since lovers of all ages have expressed their love by offering flowers, confectionery, valuable gifts and greeting cards (known as ‘ valentines‘) to each other. To be in love is a magical, memorable experience, and the desire to express how you feel to the one whom you truly love is a feeling that anyone who has been in love is familiar with.
