In the Philippines, it’s common for mass weddings to take place on February 14.

Hundreds of couples gather in shopping malls and other public places to either say ‘I do’ for the first time, or renew their vows.

And in South Africa, women pin the names of the men they fancy on their shirtsleeves, which is an ancient Roman tradition known as Lupercalia.
