February 14 is a day reserved for celebrating significant others, and while some will see the day as an opportunity to go all-out with roses, chocolates, and fancy meals, others will opt for a quiet night with loved ones.
In north Northamptonshire we’re blessed with many couples who have enjoyed long, successful relationships, and others who have taken, or are still putting themselves out there to take the brave steps to find their soulmate.
In the spirit of the occasion, we’ve delved into our archives, and Cupid shot his arrow at a handful of pictures from over the years of smitten couples and Valentine’s Day events in Northamptonshire.
