Picture it: 1997, a small town in Indiana. After exchanging gifts of black candles, journals and purple roses, a young couple, newly in love, spend hours walking around graveyards talking about their families buried within. The girl, not even yet kissed by this young prince, can't keep herself from smiling at how unique a day he has planned for his betrothed.
They walk hand-in-hand for hours, talking endlessly. Suddenly a hunger strikes up. The girl can hardly wait for the meal that will end this perfect day.
That's when the boy tucks her safely in his 1995 (?) Chevy Z28 and whisks her away to Shoney's All-You-Can-Eat Buffet but not before picking up a few of his friends to come with.
Awww, baby, I wouldn't change our beginnings for all the world.
Happy Valentine's Day theMan (and you all too).
