We asked Patch readers to share their love stories for Valentine's Day. Meet Daniela and Shawn, who were middle school sweethearts and are still together nine years later
Daniela Gaeta and Shawn McCaul's love story began in the third grade at St. Stanislaus Elementary School and blossomed at Pennbrook Middle School. "It's funny — we went to the same elementary school in third grade, but we never knew each other.

Lansdale's Christina Eckhart and her beau Jeremy's relationship is one that came full circle. "Jeremy and I dated about 10 years ago for a short time, after meeting through a mutual, very good friend of both of ours," Christina said. "In our early 20s, we were both free spirits and went our separate ways." In that 10-year period, Christina and Jeremy crossed paths again only once at a karaoke party. "We married other people, got divorced, and ran into one another at a party in July 2011," Christina said.
