Who else started 2020 with a full plate and didn't realize January has gone?? February is now here, want to know the only reason I know.... the stores have been pushing chocolates, stuffed toys, cards, and flowers. Unfortunately, Adam and I DO NOT celebrate Valentine's Day for multiple reasons. #1 He doesn't believe that Love in general should only be celebrated one day out of the year. I'm lucky enough to have married a true gentleman. He still opens the doors for me, comes home with flowers a lot (literally my engagement ring is a flower), makes me breakfast on the weekends or ice cream when I don't feel good or had a bad day haha. He always find a way to show or tell me he loves me everyday. BUT... for the hopeless romantics like me who didn't/don't have their Adams yet, we relied on the chick flicks, and the romcoms for love- especially on Valentines's Month. When I was younger I loved this holiday when* I was taken. Anyone else Bridget Jones Diary'd when they were single? Sulked and cried with ice cream while watching romantic movies because I definitely did.
Since we don't celebrate this holiday, we definitely stay in to avoid the crowds. I will gaurantee one of these movies will be on your tv this month. I loved these movies so much, I bought of them over the years so I could watch them any time I want ;) Of course I couldn't leave out any and all Disney princess movies growing up, and Nicholas Sparks movies that are a given: The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, The Last Song, The Longest Ride, The Lucky One, Safe Haven. Outside of these happily ever afters, and best sellers, in no particular order are my favorite romantic movies:
A Lot Like Love (2005) Friendship to romance shown in every stage in their lives for these two, always right person wrong time.
Something Borrowed (2011) Probably in my top 5, I love a good underdog story. I've been ready for Something Blue!
Sixteen Candles (1984) Also in my top 5, it's my favorite John Hughes movie and of course Jake Ryan and MOLLY RINGWALD!
10 Things I Hate About You (1999) But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
My Best Friend's Wedding (1997) Early Dermot Mulroney, Julie Roberts AND Cameron Diaz! Also #1 reason I wished for a gay best friend.
The Wedding Date (2004) Probably the worst betrayal yet love wins and again Dermot Mulroney.
How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days (2003) Who didn't want to be Andie Anderson?!
Sweet Home Alabama (2002) So I can kiss you any time I want ;)
Sleepless in Seattle (1993) Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan gold- best Valentine's Day movie of all time.
