Wow, some of you have had serious Valentine's Day debacles. We've got an SOS in the form of a 3-day getaway to Miami. Read on for some hilarious tales:

Patricia, a wife of 20 years, talks ruined carpet and candles:

So we're making out my husbands back is to the candle. I notice that it's just gotten A LOT brighter. as I peak over his shoulder I see the pillow is aflame! I scream grab the pillow and instinctivly smack it against the wall. BAD IDEA! Bits shoot off the pillow and land on my husbands back. Feathers are everywhere, husband is running in circles yelling and trying to pull off the pillow melted to his back (this is all happening in a span of 3 minutes!).  We get the fire out, gingerly peel the pillow bits off his back and survey the damage in our nakedness. He's still scared of candles and I have a melted piece of carpet by my side of the bed.Oh ya we know how to keep it interesting.

Sarah asked for a litte originality, but we don't think this is what she meant.

I asked my boyfriend to avoid flowers or chocolates and to instead think of something permanent as a token of our love. He bought me an electric toothbrush shaped like a car.

Anita gives the "ol' ball and chain" new meaning:

When I first started dating my fiance, he did not believe in Valentine's Day. I wanted to show him that Valentine's Day could be fun so I went to the adult store and got a pair of handcuffs. I wrapped the gift in pretty pink paper and that evening. We proceeded to try out his gift and indeed it was fun! The problem arouse after our Valentine's Day play date... we couldn't get the handcuffs undone! Our Valentine's Day evening ended with an unanticipated guest, the concierge, who helped us out of the handcuffs with various tools in his tool box. Judging by the smirk on his face, I think we made his Valentine's Day!

Kelly's Valentine's Day was hotter than she imagined:

My Valentine's debacle started out nicely enough with me making a lovely romantic dinner. While I waited for him to arrive, I lay a trail of rose petals for him to follow. These would lead him to me waiting in the bathtub, with soft music, candles and wine. After an hour of waiting and getting prune-like, I added more hot water, and finally he arrived! He hopped in as planned and as we made a toast to us, some droplets of water hit the candle burning behind his ear, and you guessed it.. poof! He jumped up, the hair behind his ear burning, I tried to put it out, couldn't get my balance and took out the shower curtain as I fell. We ended up in a heap, just not the way I had imagined.
