 Idioms for Valentine’s day
THE BIRDS ARE TWEETING, THE SKIES ARE
BLUE AND LOVE IS IN THE AIR. WHY? IT’S
VALENTINE’S DAY

1. Match made in heaven

A match made in heaven refers to two people who are perfectly suited
to each other. It’s also now used to refer to any two things that go well
together – fish and chips, now that’s a match made in heaven!

“Paul and Sally really are a match made in heaven. I can’t wait for their
wedding!”
 2. Love at first sight
Perhaps this one translates into your own language, as it’s been
around since ancient Greek times. It means an instant feeling of love,
when you see someone for the first time. However, many people
believe this is actually a feeling of instant attraction, not love.

“When Sam met Alexa it was love at first sight. They got married 6
months later!”

3. Love is blind
If you are blinded by love, you don’t see the faults or the
imperfections of who you love. This expression is first found in
Chaucer’s Merchant’s Tale, which he wrote in the year 1405. In old
English, the expression was ‘For loue is blynd alday and may nat
see.’
But it didn’t become commonly used until Shakespeare used it
again in the 1500’s.
“He’s so lazy, but she still loves him.”
“Well, they say that love is blind!”
