If the post was TRULY a joke, then I apologize for being so pissy. I just find V-Day to be a ridiculous holiday, partly because of the overblown big deal that is made over it, that's all.

She was thrilled with it. And yes, we're still very, VERY happily married. Got her a stand mixer for Christmas 3 years ago too. Why, other than because I'm an "insensitive jerk"? Because it's what she wanted. You're putting WAY too much importance and thought into such a contrived ridiculous holiday. It's just another day. Besides, flowers mean more to my wife when I stop and get a $3 gas station rose for the hell of it than do the obligatory dozen roses on Valentines Day, because the gas station rose says "I was thinking about you for no special reason", whereas the bouquet on VD says "I'm buying this because you expect me to". You can all concern yourselves with diamonds and really expensive stuff. My wife prefers the stuff that REALLY means something- love, affection, caring, etc. I gave my wife a vacuum cleaner for Valentine’s Day a few years back because that’s all she said she wanted.
