Juno was the Queen of all the gods and goddesses of Ancient Rome. Romans used to have a public holiday in her honour on Feburary 14th.

All the young girls would put their names in a jar and the young men would draw the names out. They would then see each other throughout the year.

The emperor Clandius II decided to ban this practice as young men were reluctant to go to war because they wanted to be with their sweethearts. The emperor banned all weddings.

The Pope of that time, St. Valentine would marry the lovers in secret. He was caught eventually and executed. But this tradition of love continues till today.

  • There are so many ways to celebrate an anniversary. There is the traditional candle light dinner at a lavish restaurant or a delicious home cooked meal. Include the surprise holiday into your list as well.

    There are so many things to take into consideration. You can ask around for ideas and work around them till you finally come up with an idea of your own. I would suggest doing something on your accord. For example, make a card, bake a cake, prepare a song or an act or write a poem. It’s easy to buy a gift but your efforts will only shine through stronger in that self-made card.

    Just remember, that whatever you have planned for the anniversary, the flowers are a must. Men may not love flowers, but rest assure that they will appreciate it. Maybe you can consider getting them subtle colours.
