The Search for Love and Laughs

You know what? Sometimes, finding love is really funny.

Who says Valentine’s Day needs to be all love and flowers?

Let’s face it Hillsborough. Sometimes, love doesn’t exactly work out as planned. Whether it’s bad dates or a good intention that led to a bad outcome—like arranging a skiing trip and breaking your leg on the trip, or buying a gift that triggered your beau's allergies— everyone has stories about trying to find, impress or keep “the one”.

Some of those stories are pretty hilarious—in hindsight, of course.
