Many people are looking forward to Valentine's Day in February. This is a special day where they could spend special moments with their beloved. Sweethearts prepared surprises for their beloved. Love notes, cards, different stuff that symbolizes love are present everywhere in malls, department stores and other business sections. People are busy shopping special gifts for their partners. But how other people make Valentines day a special and memorable day for them?

Renewal of marriage vows on valentines day is a special celebration done by other Filipinos in the Philippines and this is participated by certain religious denomination. This is a unique way of expressing the couple's love for each other, renewing their vows and commitment. This is how they do it.

A well planned program will be prepared for the occasion. The organizer of the program will choose a model couple from the participants. Usually. they will choose model from couples who's marriage reached to 15 years and above. The chosen couple will renew their vows together with the couples present in the occasion. The renewal of vows will be said together by all the couple guests. There will be like a wedding ceremony. The model couple will wear their wedding attire and they will also have full entourage. Their bride's maids. groom's men and flower girls are usually their children and grand children. It's really like a wedding ceremony. The only thing is that the Homily or sermon of the priest /pastor is centered on the renewal of marriage vows. This program is exclusive for married couples therefore everybody who is present must be husband and wife. No singles are allowed to join. They will be out of place when the couples, say their vows all together. In the time when the priest say, " You may now kiss the bride", they will do it all together. There will be a mass kissing in the scene. After the ceremony, the reception will follow either in restaurants or any designated place for the occasion. If the model couple can afford to spend for the reception, the guests couples' dinner date will be free. But most often, what they do so that the model couple will not be burdened with the reception expenses, the guests helped by paying their own meal. They can order whatever they want for their valentine dinner date with their spouse.

The exciting thing here is that, they can plan a romantic setting of their reception. They can arrange for a candle lighting with music and sweet dances. It is a very perfect time for spouses to spend memorable moments together on Valentines day. Most couples will spend a night out in hotel after the reception as a valentine treat for themselves where they can be alone. Those who have kids at home, specially the young couples, they will make an arrangement ahead of time to hire a baby sitter to watch their kids while they are away. This is a very memorable event that most couples are looking forward to every year. One way to strengthen their relationship as husband and wife. A time to enjoy special moments with the love of our lives is something to be treasured.

Since this occasion is well planned, there will be no more problems with the working couples When Valentines day falls on working days. It is already marked in their calendar as scheduled leave. This event is very romantic for couples to participate and very relaxing too. At least they could be free from stress of everyday routine for a while and enjoy each other's company with no disturbance. I really like this memorable day of celebrating Valentines day with our husbands.
