Tell us how you met the most special person in your life

Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to win your heart.

Do you recall the moment your spouse or loved one walked into your life? Was it love at first sight? Did fireworks go off and Cupid's arrow find its mark?

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, the Thousand Oaks Acorn invites you to tell us how you and your significant other met and fell in love.

Send us a note at tovalentines@theacorn.com and in 200 words or fewer talk about the highlights of that fated occasion--how your beloved stole your heart. The world is waiting to hear your story!

Please e-mail your Valentine's submission by Mon., Feb. 4. Tales should be appropriate for our family publication and may be edited. We'll strive to publish everyone's memories.
