So what is so special about celebrating Valentine's Day in Lappeenranta? Well, if you are a bride or groom-to be, this news might just perfect for you.
Not so long ago, I received this email from International Affairs in my university which comes at my surprise. Frankly speaking this is the first time I heard that a university accomodates such a wedding event for the students and employees. I personally think that it is a creative idea and also unique because, after all not many, if there is one,universities offers such special treats.
Here is the original anouncement letter from the International Affairs:
