It’s the fifth story and final day before Valentine’s Day weekend. Hopefully we’ve given you enough romance for one week and warmed you up for the Big Day. But be warned. With all of this romantic foreplay, some of you men out there might just convince a girl to fall for you – and for good. Lucky for you, we have a 20-year marriage success story to help ease some concerns. As the saying goes, “Another one bites the dust!”

Twenty years – that’s a long time to be married. People always ask, “What’s the secret?” Fortunately, Travis and Tammy Holder of Lewisburg, Tenn. know the answer:  “A little bit of love and whole lot of Krystals!” In August of 1988, Holder took his new wife to the local Krystal in Murfreesboro, Tenn. to eat their first dinner as a married couple, which soon became a ritual for the two. Only 20 short years later, Travis Holder took his wife back to Krystal to celebrate another milestone with his wife – their 20th wedding anniversary. He lovingly stated, “This is the place where I plan to be another 20 years from now.”

We can’t think of a better ending for Krystal’s Top Lovers Love Stories of 2009 and are excited to help the Holders celebrate their love with an intimate candlelit dinner at Krystal and a $100 gift card.

To be considered for Krystal’s Top Lovers Love Stories of 2010, submit your personal tale of love to Krystal.com.

Day four of love week and the stories keep getting better.

Southerners are known for their outlandish weddings, engagement parties and showers – even outrageous groom’s cakes that are themed with a favorite football team or mascot. You name it and the South does it up right. The same goes for Todd and Megan Rucker of Rockwood, Tenn.

There was nothing traditional about the Rucker’s wedding, especially Megan’s wedding cake. And not one of their guests complained. How could they with a gigantic three-tiered tower of little, square tasty Krystals cooked to perfection, topped with a miniature bride and groom?

Talk about a Krystal Lover’s dream and for Megan and Todd Rucker – a Krystal Lover’s dream wedding.

This story definitely warrants a spot in Krystal’s Top Lovers Love Stories of 2009 and all the perks that come along with the title including a romantic candlelit dinner at their favorite Krystal restaurant this Valentine’s Day, a $100 gift card and more.

Know anyone else who has thrown a Krystal-themed wedding? Or any other crazy motif for that matter? Tell us about it here.

It’s one day and one love story closer to Valentine’s Day and we’re not stopping! With a romantic story like that of Morgan and Ashley Geoghagan of Jackson, Miss., how can we? Their tale of love isn’t one of a single romantic gesture, but one of continued dedication. And what’s more powerful than a love that’s rekindled multiple times a week? The Geoghagan’s tell their story much better than us, so we’ll just let you read below…

“We know that many couples have monthly date nights, maybe even weekly, but several times a week? It’s a little out of the norm – we know. You’re probably thinking, ‘It must be true love, right?’ Well, it’s definitely a true love of something! We agree that we enjoy spending time together, but our craving for Krystal is the main reason for all those evenings alone. Our love for Krystal keeps our relationship alive and for us, there’s nothing more romantic than that.”

For a love that strong of each other and of Krystal’s hot and steamy menu items, Krystal is excited to help the Geoghagan’s celebrate the most romantic day of the year. This Valentine’s Day, the couple will share an intimate candlelit dinner at their favorite Krystal restaurant with a $100 gift card and much more.

Before you go and start drilling your significant other about why you don’t have three or four date nights a week, just think of all the other romantic moments you might share. Now, put your story on paper and send it in to Krystal.com. You just might be next year’s lucky couple to envy.

Krystal is making the month of love even sweeter this week with the announcement of its Top Krystal Lovers Love Stories of 2009. While new romances are blossoming over the Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry and French Vanilla MilkQuakes, five couples who have sealed their love with a Krystal will receive special recognition from the company as having the best Krystal Lovers Love Stories of 2009.

Selected from hundreds of emails, the chosen couples will each receive a romantic Krystal Lovers’ Dinner package perfect for this Valentine’s Day. The special gift will contain all the necessary ingredients needed to create an intimate dinner at the couple’s favorite Krystal restaurant, including a $100 Krystal Gift Card, linen tablecloth and napkins, candles and more.

To get you in the holiday spirit, we will share one story each day this week about tales of love connections made and romances kept alive thanks to Krystal’s famous hot and steamy menu items. Today, we’re featuring Ronnie and Nanette Davis of Calhoun, Ga who have created their own idea of the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. Check out their Krystal love story below.

A Dozen Cheese Krystals for Valentine’s Day

Red roses on Valentine’s Day – it’s so cliché. Don’t all women want a significant other who puts a little more thought into the gift? Well, Nanette Davis of Calhoun, Ga. is lucky to be married to a man who does just that. And even better, her husband Ronnie is smart enough to know that the way to woman’s heart is always through her stomach, which is why Davis gets a dozen Cheese Krystals from her hubby every year. Combine his genius rationale with the best food in town and you’ve got one hot and steamy Valentine’s Day – literally.

We know that Thanksgiving is still on the mind, but with Black Friday right around the corner, it’s already that time to start thinking about holiday shopping.   However, you can skip the Black Friday madness on November 28 by heading to the nearest Krystal, where you can pick up two gifts for the price of one.

Since the two popular movies “March of the Penguins” and “Happy Feet” made their debuts in 2005 and 2006, a penguin craze has swept the nation.  Whether a cute penguin coffee mug or holiday figurine, everyone wants in on the action – especially children.  And this holiday season, Krystal is taking care of all your penguin needs. That’s right, you don’t have to visit the South Pole, or even the Georgia Aquarium, this Christmas to get your hands on one of the cute, furry creatures because Krystal has done the work for you.  Parents, take notice!

Starting today and through the end of the year, you can get your very own Krystal Freeze Stuffed Penguin with the purchase of a $20 holiday gift card.  Perfect for stocking stuffers, the Krystal gift cards come wrapped in a variety of holiday-themed sleeves that add a festive touch and allow for personalization.  Designs include a photo of Santa proclaiming “You Made The List,” a Krystal-themed holiday sleeve saying “Here’s Hoping Your Sack Never Runs Out of Krystals,” a classic Christmas image with ornaments and a Krystal logo and the new brightly-colored Krystal Freeze Penguins looking down on a festive tree while cheerfully wishing you a “Merry Christmas”. There are also three different penguins to choose from, so be sure to collect all three for the Krystal (or Penguin) lover in your life while supplies last.

More than the perfect gift for Krystal Lovers this December, Krystal’s Holiday Gift Cards are also a convenient cashless payment option for busy customers eating on-the-go. Available in $10 increments, the reloadable gift cards never expire and can be used quickly and easily to purchase Krystal menu items year-round.

Fun Fact about Black Friday

Why Black? In the world of accountants, red signifies a loss, and black signifies a profit. For many retailers, the Christmas holiday sales season represents one half to three quarters of their annual sales. Often, retailers are losing money, until holiday sales begin. Holiday sales formally begin on the day after Thanksgiving, therefore, Black Friday represents that turning point from a loss towards big profits.
