Not trying to be messy but my husband made these for Valentines day
He bought the moulds, the double boiler, the thermometer, the chocolate wafers to melt, flavors to make the inside etc. It was NOT easy. It took him a few weeks to get it right, it takes a long time for cleanup and to just learn how to do it. It was incredibly sweet and took a lot of effort. JUST PUTTING THIS INTO THE WORLD. Thanks. ❤️ submitted by /u/Corndread85 to r/chocolate [link] [comments]

AITA for interrupting a marriage proposal on Valentines Day bc itnwas actually my ring?
Throwaway because I don't even know what to think. I am on mobile so sorry for weirdness. I 32M went out to dinner with my gf 30F on valentines day. We went to an upscale restaurant. Honestly, this whole thing would have been avoided if I did the proposal the way I wanted but I knew from talking with my gf that she wanted something in public, but intimate, with champagne and good food, and other aspects. So after being together for 3 years, having been living together for 1 year, and knowing she was getting a little ansty about marriage, I decided to save up, buy the ring [with the help of her best gay friend Ronnie, the man is a god send because jewlery is not my thing], and set up the proposal. Ronnie was awesome enough to get it on video for us. I talked to the wait staff as I made the reservation and they agreed to put the ring on the red velvet cupcake she would get for dessert. She always gets the red velvet. I had a whole speech. Dinner goes great. Ronnie prepped the video from the corner. He hadn't actually eaten there otherwise he would have been spotted. Dessert comes out and ....there is no ring. I give the waitress a look and she seems confused. As I'm trying to figure out what happened while trying to not tip off my gf I hear, "OMG YES". Turning, I can see a girl holding up a ring and the guy looks both stunned and panicked. There are claps, cheering, whistles and happy tears. She hugs the stiff numb guy so I get up and go over and look at the ring, which she isn't wearing because *surprise surprise* its not her size. So I tap the guy's shoulder and tell him there was a mix up in the kitchen, show them both the email with the recite and image of the ring, and take it back before either can respond. The guy looks relieved and the woman starts yelling at me about stealing the ring. The guy pipes up that he hadn't actually bought any ring and that it wasn't for her. She stares at him, and it looks like she wants to cry. But the guy continues, basically word vomiting, that he was actually going to wait until March to tell her he wanted a break or to break up (I could only half hear as she started to cry very loudly). He didn't want to ruin valentine's day for her but he had to be honest. I dipped after that, because it was really awkward and no longer my issue (which is why I might be the asshole). I went back to my table, quietly explained the situation to my gf, and she took the ring, slipped it on and smiled. She told me we could do another proposal but not to make a scene out of it now. I could tell she was sad for the other girl. But now my face is on a bunch of videos in my area, showing me take the ring and making her cry after she said yes- without context. I have gotten a lot of hate for it, and when told the entire thing, I get hate for not "waiting for the moment to be over" and "humiliating the poor girl". AITA? I didnt continue with the proposal right after that happened. I didnt do the speech, the knee, the whole bit. I just quietly explained to her, we finished our food, and left. submitted by /u/Queasy-Impact-2981 to r/MarkNarrations [link] [comments]

Boyfriend ruined Valentine's Day
For Valentine's Day this year, I spent days writing, recording, and producing a song about how much I love my boyfriend and how important our relationship is to me. All I asked from him is that he buy me flowers. I made it clear how important it was to me leading up to Valentine's Day, and when we stopped at the store earlier in the day I reminded him again and said it would be nice out he bought me some while we were there, but he kept saying it wasn't necessary because he had a surprise for me. When he got home from work at 10:30, he still didn't have flowers, and I confronted him about it and it turned out his "surprise" was going to be picking some flowers off a bush at our apartment complex. I started to cry, and he told me that it was okay because he had a backup plan, and he had me drive him to 7-11, but when we got there they only had a single rose left, which he bought for me and then acted like that would fix everything.
