Valentine's Day = Good Music + Great Food + Excellent Company = Love
IMG_5469.jpg
Valentines day is the day that love is in the air, and if you are a happily married man like myself, it takes meticulous planing to come up with a nice and fresh surprise every year to show the love of your life how much you care. One day while browsing aimlessly on Facebook I saw an add of The Patriot Teater (Teater=Theater) advertising that they will have a live singer, called Mathys Roets, on Valentine's day including a nice dinner. The Patriot Theater is not a real big Theater, it is rather a restaurant with a small make shift stage, but they do have dinner with guest artists there from time to time. I immediately booked a table for my lovely wife and I. Below you can see the setting which is quite simple, but intimate!! They only had 20 couples booked, thus we were all close to the stage.

At the door we were greeted by a chocolate fountain and marshmallows, with some bubbly to drink. Nice

We ordered a very nice bottle of Du Toitskloof, 2016 Merlot, below you can see the wine in the glass, what a beautiful ruby color!!

For starters we had a nice carpaccio, as you can see in the photo below.

Below you can see the two of us enjoying our wine and meal!!

Below you can see the main meal, which consisted of two different meats, mash potatoes and some veggies, which tasted great, really delicious!!

Below you can see my wife looking in love and lovely, enjoying the music.

We had some trifle for desert, which was also delicious.

Mathys Roets is a well known Afrikaans singer, who became paralyzed after a motorcycle accident. He did not become discouraged after the accident and kept on singing, below you can see us with Mathys after the show.

Below are two videos I took of songs Mathys performed on Valentine's day, I posted one Afrikaans song and one in English for you to enjoy, I think the quality is quite good for a phone recording.
The first song is called Eva

The second song is **Sweet Caroline** which is a cover of the well known Neil Diamond song.

I took these photos and videos with my iPhone, at The Patriot Teater in Pretoria, in the Gauteng Province of South Africa.

I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I did taking it.

Wow...such a wonderful and interesting valentine celebration by lovely couple....
So...romantic my dear friend @rynow
Wel done and execellent work...
Cheers~~~

Thank you very much, we did enjoy it a lot.

Enjoy @rynow

We did!!

What I love, I do not know today. I do not have any wish or not. It is astonishing that sometimes, when I wake up in the deep night, I hear the voice of the unreal, I see the mythical scene. Break the silence of the night and roar in my ears, There is no sea on the back.
If I do not have the moon in the sky and I see the full moon, I can recognize every star in the sky in the clouds. And on some other days, when a well-lit air is heard, first you can hear the name of a musical instrument, a beautiful melody, then whoever sings sweet melody more than the birds of the dawn

Do not think we're floating in the sea at night,
A melodious tune to flutter in the lake, so that
I can talk whispered with you ..........

Great poem!!

Happy valentine's day. love it
Thanks @rynow
Have a great day

Thank you very much.

Hello @rynow,

Extraordinary good way to celebrate the Valentine day. Incredible experience you shared.

Thank you very much, we did enjoy it a lot.

St. Valentin's memoir tells legends about helping Christian couples to marry Christian couples, despite the emperor's ban, lives on February 14th, which traditionally overlaps most with romance, and emerges more as St. Valentine's Day in English traditions.
Nice post. Thank you

Great post.. Really nice images and music..such a beautiful couple.. You both looking great my friend.. May god bless you lot of love and happiness..keep enjoying @rynow

Thank you so much!!

valentine is a day for love... which is celebrated in the memory of valentine...
But there is no concept of valentine in our country

That is interesting, I thought it was something that was done all over the world, we even do it in South Africa, I see you are from Pakistan.

yes I am from Pakistan... this was celebrated in only cities.... in urban areas there is no concept of valentine ... in pakistani culture and Islam does not allow these type of festivals or days...
keep steemian Stay Blessed :) :)
