I had my own Valentine’s surprise when my husband turned up at the cathedral.
He went down on one knee and presented me with a red rose!
We asked for some of your Valentine's Day messages as our couples spread the love at Coventry Cathedral today.
We've had some more inclduing:
Image source, LanceIt has been an especially emotional day for one of our couples, Jean and Alan Taylor.
Jean, in tears, described how her husband has had cancer for the past two years and “every day is a bonus”.
In March, the couple will have been married for 62 years and this was the third time the pair had made their promises to each other.
Image source, Jean and Alan TaylorTheir first was at the parish church in Leamington Spa in 1963 on Jean’s 19th birthday.
They remembered how they faced a few setbacks when they got married including being left without a vicar - with Jean told to wait with her bridesmaids while the verger went to find him.
It turned out he had got the day wrong - then the reception made the same mistake!
When they made their second promise, they went back to the same church for their golden wedding anniversary but it was winter and they walked from the service to their reception in the snow.
“I didn’t know you wanted another white wedding,” Jean’s uncle had joked.
Now after their third promise to each other, the couple, from Warwick, said it was “lovely”.
“Everyone’s been so nice and friendly,” Jean said.
After the ceremony, it was time for everyone to take pictures and relax.
A floral arch, which formed part of Pixie Lott's stage, was chosen as the backdrop for many of the pictures.
Couple gathered with their families for a snap and it was also in front of the famous tapestry of Christ in Coventry Cathedral.
Let us pick up events now with Gemma and Andrew Standen - and of course Honey, their bulldog who has turned out to be one of the main attractions today.
Andrew said it was “lovely to bring her” and Gemma said it was their main motivation.
“We couldn’t have her in Greece when we went and got married," she said.
The pooch, who was given her own pink rose to wear on her collar, was about to jump out of her buggy during the event - described by Gemma as “a massive distraction”.
“I think she needed to go outside,” she said, “but she’s been amazing all day, I think she enjoyed it as well.”
“She’s been the centre of attention,” Andrew said. “It was nice for her to see us get married, even though I suppose it’s a renewal, but it still feels like we got married again, so it’s been lovely.”
Gavin Hobbins, who was a Zombie groom at his first wedding, said it was "amazing" to renew his commitment to his wife Kelly.
The pair decided to combine their original wedding day with a Halloween party - so decided to celebrate their love in a more traditional setting this time.
It's been absolutely amazing to be in such a beautiful building," Kelly said.
"What better surrounding to do it in than here."

This was a mass event, but when the couples stood to reaffirm their promises to each other it was a very personal moment.
I saw one couple grab each other’s hands and there were several wiping away tears.
For each of them, the words "I choose you again" represented years of life lived together, obstacles overcome - and daily decisions to stay committed to their marriage vows.
Image source, Michelle and Adam BirdAmong the nearly 80 couples in our audience, we have been hearing about their stories - in this case, from Michelle Bird who has been together with her other half Adam since she was 16.
One day, they went to her nephew’s christening, when she turned and said to him: “Will you marry me?”
Two years later, the pair were married - 30 years later, they are celebrating their marriage and three wonderful children, Michelle said.
It is proof, we think, that women should not be shy about popping the question.
So ladies, shoot your shots! You never know what can happen.
After her performance, Pixie Lott said it felt like there was "so much love in the air" and to be a small part of today was very special.
"I've never done anything like this before, it's very unique," she said.
"I feel bad saying this because of my husband Oliver - we do have lovely Valentine's Days as well - but this is like my favourite one so far."
It felt like "a very monumental day", she added.
Pixie said the energy in the cathedral while the event was taking place was "so beautiful" and the setting was "stunning".
There have been some stunning images of the celebration which saw almost 80 couples reaffirm their love for each other.
Coventry Cathedral was given a proper makeover for the event with chairs set out to allow for each couple to simultaneously renew their commitment to each other.
Guests were also treated to a surprise appearance from pop star Pixie Lott as well as a reading from actor Yasmin Wilde.
Our audience were certainly entertained as Pixie Lott, our surprise guest, came in and dazzled.
The singer, who has had three UK number ones and took part in Strictly Come Dancing, performed two songs today - a cover of Coldplay's All My Love and her new single Show You Love.
We asked you earlier to share your Valentine's Day messages and here are a couple among those we have received:
If you want to share a message for or about your loved one, you can still email us here and you might see it appear on the page later.
Pixie Lott returned with her new single Show You Love and swapped her demure pink coat for an off-the-shoulder cocktail dress in a Valentine's Day maroon.
The audience loved it again, enjoying the performance after that intense moment when they declared their commitment to each other anew.
Pixie came down from the chancel steps near the altar to perform in the main area of the nave.
Remember, you can watch live at the top of this page.
The couples have now turned to face each other and reaffirmed their love.
They repeated the following words to each other:
"Today, I choose you again, as I did then, as I will always. I promise to keep building with you, to listen, to laugh, to stand beside you.
To honour the love we have made, to cherish the life we are creating.
Time may leave its marks upon us, but it cannot wear away the truth: You are my beloved, my partner, my gift.
And with all that I am, I promise— again and always—to be yours.
We Still Do!"
Pixie Lott has taken to the chancel steps in our surprise event.
She performed Coldplay's All My Love in the grand setting of the cathedral for our couples.
And the audience loved it.
There was a round of applause before the celebration moved on to the affirmation with the couples on their feet.
The Reverend Canon Nitano Muller led the cathedral in prayer during today's ceremony.
His prayer ended with these words:
"As Coventry itself rose from the ashes, so may your love in our lives be renewed today— not as echoes of the past, but as songs for the future, singing of love that endures, faith that restores, and the promise that, in You, all things are made new.
With hearts full of gratitude, we offer this prayer. Amen."
Actress Yasmin Wilde has read I Will be Here, a poem by Steven Curtis Chapman.
Apparently Chapman never thought it would become a wedding song but it became a favourite the world over and it is used for readings.
It is about being there for the person you love through the changing days, seasons and years.
