Ok my story was not funny but i thought it was memorable.
Feb 14 2007
I was telling my fiancee at the time that i didn't want to do anything on the day but i secretly have been planning a way to propose to her. So i said i would just make dinner like i normally do but this time i pulled out some major stops. I read up on how to cook certain items so i can be prepared for this. I crafted a menu like you would get at a fancy restaurant with the "itenerary" of what will be prepared. She came thru the door i showed her to the table with the candles and showed her the menu. She was excited. So i started out with a appetizer(shrimp cocktail in a martini glass with homemade cocktail sauce), main(rack of lamb glazed in hoisin/honey sauce) and then dessert(chocolate lava cake). All made from scratch. She really enjoyed it(honestly) and i was praying she wouldn't die from eating it. So after dessert I gave her a strip of paper with a clue on it. Said to find the next one based on the clue(scavenger hunt). So there she went finding the clue and everytime she found the next clue she found a hershey's kiss with another clue. After four successful finds in the place the last one read "congrats on finding all four, there still is one surprise left in store, if you look in my eyes you will see all i ask is for you to marry me" she didn't finish the statement and started crying and i went down and proposed and she accepted. Our wedding is this August. I've never been a fan of Vday but it will always hold a special place in my heart.

so we post the story in our own thread? or in this one?

That doesn't really clarify anything. Do you want us to make a new thread? Post our story in here? Or it doesn't matter?

New thread. But entries in this thread will also be accepted since there's nothing against it in the rules. Individual threads would make it easier to read and comment though.

Done.

Does the story explicltly have to refer to Valentine's Day or will Red Flag Deal themed romantic events be sufficient.

Have a great red flag day wedding story, but that happened on Labour day, not Valentine's Day.

This is a Valentine's Day contest. The stories don't have to have anything to do with RedFlagDeals.com or being cheap.

We simply want your best Valentine's Day story.

so who won?

Yea I'm curious as to whether they have chosen the winners?

I didn't post my story in the forums.. instead I submitted it through the alternative link they had.. I wonder if they even received it...

based on the rules...they contacted the 3 winners via email and then if they don't respond then they have to pick an alternate..therefore it might take a while for them to announce who won..so if u didn't get an email..most likely you didn't win..
