It wasnโ€™t just about the weddings, though; the sense of community and support among the couples seemed to create an almost festival-like vibe.

Celebrating love is important, not just for the couples, but for the entire community.

Did you know that Valentine's Day has a historical background dating back to the Roman festival of Lupercalia? It was celebrated in mid-February to ward off evil spirits and promote fertility! Also, the tradition of exchanging love notes can be traced back to the 15th century, where the first Valentine was said to have been a message sent by a jailed priest named Saint Valentine himself!
