Valentine’s Day, February 14, is when lovers express their affection with greetings and gifts which are often sent anonymously. It has been suggested that the holiday has origins in the Roman festival of Lupercalia because of the similarities to each other.
Valentine’s Day is the day of love and Rye shops have brightened up their windows to showcase the day.
For one couple in Rye Harbour, Valentine’s Day will always be a special anniversary. They had their first date in 1986 on that day. They got engaged just over three weeks later, on March 12, and married in September. They will celebrate thirty-seven years of marriage this year.
