Tonight, you’re going on a virtual Valentines dinner date with the romantic and suave Rudolph Valentino. Valentine’s Day is dedicated to romance and love for friends, family, and sweethearts. It is creating special memories and showing loved ones you care with a thoughtful gesture or a kind word. A day that is more than just receiving a card, flowers, or candy. Rudolph Valentino was the ultimate romantic symbol in a time where woman wanted to be treasured and adored. He was well dressed, well spoken, and belonged to a bygone era and this evening he will be totally yours.
Valentine’s Day, starts early with being woke up by a doorbell ring and upon opening the door, standing right on the porch, you discover a simple bouquet of flowers in the most beautiful crystal vase with a small card tastefully inscribed with “Tonight I live for the moment, until then Happy Valentine’s Day, Rodolpho”, with a smile on your face, you take the flowers to the bedroom and put them in a place of honor. Throughout the day, were more memorable surprises, a beautiful box of chocolates and a personal chef and waiter that will prepare and serve the evening’s dinner. While evening approaches you realize how first, appearances are important, and you want to look your absolute best for Valentino. Time flies by and you decide on a vintage 1920’s outfit that shows your dinner date how much you are looking forward to a special evening of magic.
The evenings dinner setting is a living room, romantically lit by soft candlelight, surrounded by flowers and in the middle of the room was a rather large beautifully decorated antique table laden with the finest china, silverware, and crystal. Immediately you notice a place setting for one and the other place setting is a monitor mirroring the same table setting. The butler escorts you to the table, holds out your chair waiting for you to be seated and asks, “what would you like to drink”? Immediately you decide on a glass of vintage champagne and as the drink is poured you look at the screen which will soon feature the image of your dinner date. While waiting, you quickly glance down at your watch to look at the time. Suddenly you hear a noise on the screen in front of you and as you look up noticing a door open and before you in vintage dinner attire is Rudolph Valentino. He approaches his side of the table and elegantly bows low and tells you how much he is looking forward to the evening ahead. While he is being seated and starts to talk to his butler about his drink preference you realize how he is still everyone’s ideal secret lover and tonight belongs to you both. Valentino is a screen image to you, but he is very real. The meal starts out with your host asking general questions and the butler starts serving the first course. The evening progresses as each course is served. Both food and drink are perfection and so is the company. Throughout the meal, Valentino gives you his undivided attention and answers each question with true honestly. You realize how similar you both are in certain likes and dislikes bringing a smile to both of your faces. For example, you discover a love for tango music and Italian opera music. However, there was one question in the back of your mind you wanted to ask but did not know how it would be answered. So, you asked your host why a virtual dinner date versus in person? Valentino answers, for this evening, I am your reality and I wanted to create an atmosphere that surpasses any Valentine’s Day you ever experienced. His answer is something that you understand and while desert is being prepared and coffee is served you look around and feel it is all a beautiful dream and a sudden sadness appears knowing that he will soon be leaving. Valentino is in-tune to this emotion and understands more than you realize. The meal ends and the butler went over to a vintage phonograph and played slow romantic tango music. Valentino gets up out of his chair and walks over to the screen and extends his hand to you. The butler rushes over and as you get up out of your chair grab his hand and he pulls you into his side of the screen and you both slowly dance together. Yes, he feels very real to you and you can feel his well-built arms holding you close in his arms and realize there is no place you would rather be than right here in this moment in time. You slowly move as one and as the music ends you on your side of the screen once again. Valentino looks at you as though memorizing every detail of your face and says he must go. He bows low and thanks you for such a delightful evening and you thank him in return. As he starts to leave, you ask can you see him again? He responds “when you see me on the movie screen I am there or if you dream of me, I am there. But know that this evening was special for me as it was for you and if time were different then maybe things would have a different ending. But know that I treasured every minute spent with you”. Tears start to appear in your eyes, and he turned and exited through the same door he entered hours earlier. The butler gives you a handkerchief with his initials in the upper corner, and you wipe your eyes and feel sad. As magically as the evening began it ended and you slowly go back to your bedroom while everything was being taken away. While your evening ended the memories will always remain of a time spent with Rudolph Valentino.
