A long, long, long time ago, Valentine's Day wasn't just about candy hearts and red roses (shocking, we know).

Saint Valentine — the original romantic — gave significance to the holiday, now known more for its Hallmark value. But back in the day, Valentine was just a man who really believed in love and marriage.
