Ah, Valentine's Day. We meet again.

Unbeknownst to us, we're almost forced to choose a side on the Valentine's Day spectrum every year. For some, it's a no-brainer. The mood's already been predetermined, reservations have been made, the date night outfits are being shipped as we speak and the love is taking over the air supply.
