Valentine was a rebel in his day.  He secretly performed weddings to heterosexual couples when all new marriages were outlawed by the Roman government, whose goal was to recruit more soldiers for a dwindling army and thought marriages were a distraction to the recruitment of new male soldiers.

Those who follow such things, and comment on them in places other than this site, may recall that at the White House state dinner during his visit last year, the prime minister Anthony Albanese noted ruefully in his speech, in a comment directed at his partner Jodie Haydon, that he won't be able to top this as a date night. Well, first thing this morning, the 15th, he posted a photo of the two of them on Twitter, with the caption, 'She said Yes'. Who said romance is dead?
