The Story of Valentine's Day:
On the third day, the Hallmark Gods said "Let there be one day a year that guys have to spend an atrocious amount of money on their significant other, paying outrageous prices for the roses with the longer stems, only to have their girlfriends, immediately upon receiving the gift, cut the extra stem length off of the flower so that they'll fit in the vase."
The Hallmark Gods looked at their first quarter numbers, and it was good.
Then on the fourth day, the Hallmark Gods said "We're not making enough money in the third quarter, let us make a new holiday in the fall that mirrors that of the great Valentine's Day in which guys will yet again have to go out and spend an atrocious amount of money on their significant others, or risk not getting laid for the remainder of the year... or at least until the egg nog starts flowing during Christmas time. We'll call this great Holiday... oh, I dunno, Sweetest Day."
The Hallmark Gods looked at their third quarter numbers, and it was good.
(Has anyone noticed that the abbreviation for Valentine's Day is VD? Coincidence? I think not....)

A king had a beautiful daughter but she was a dumb.The king was mighty and very rich.he had a large garden.The princess liked gardening very much.Once in a week the princess would go with the solders, choose beautiful flowering plants and plant them n the king's garden.One day that the king saw the princess talking with a plant with beautiful flowers.The plant was actually the son of the wish giving angel.The King thought,that the plant was an witch craft to trap his daughter.So,he immediately got the plant uprooted.When the plant was uprooted,the son of the wish giving angel came out.He was a hand some one.He went to his mother and asked to grant him the wish to marry the princess as he had fell in love with her.The mother granted him the wish.The next morning he went t the king and said"I want to marry your daughter because love her."The King agreed to the request and got her daughter married with the son of the wish giving angel.From that day onwards till today valentines day is celebrated because that day the prince had met the princess the first time and of course,they were the first valentines!!!

the story was like saint valentine was a priest........in his place the men were not allowed to marry since the kings thot they wudnt join the army due to their wifes.........so marriages were ban.........
s.valentine stood up n got lovers together into marriage........when the kings got to know this valentine was jailed n so ppl wrote letters n threw cards into his jail cells thanking him for wat he had done..........
