Yes, sounds like a great tradition we should keep and celebrate in 21st century.

And while I am happy for Payne's marriage, it doesn't really have anything to do with Valentine's day or being anti-valentine. I was poking fun on the commercial aspect of the holiday. Love has nothing to do with this holiday... and I hope that my future partner will understand that bad quality "chocolate" (according to the EU standarts chocolate has to contain at least 35% of cocoa. I dare you to check info in these heart shapped things), flowers with huge carbon footprint or stuffed animals made in sweatshops.
