One of the most romantic Valentine's Days was in 1995. It was my first year in Vancouver and I was a newlywed.

That day we received a lot of snow. Therefore Klaus called a taxi to pick us up and drive us to the restaurant. I did not know to which restaurant we were going until we arrived at it's door. It was the Raintree Restaurant. We enjoyed a beautiful meal in a very elegant atmosphere. And while we were having dinner a gentleman proposed to his girlfriend.

I also vividly remember my very first Valentine's rose. It was in 1989, Klaus was my boyfriend then. He got up early to go to the nearby flower store to buy a long stem red rose and a card. SWEET! And we have been celebrating that day ever since.
