Always a bridesmaid, never the bride?

Well, ladies, we have two words for you… “Galentine’s Day” – it’s simply, YOUR day.

“It’s only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies.”

– Leslie Knope of “Parks and Recreation.”
