Reader beware:  love is in the air (and on the page) for this edition of TODAY's Life Illustrated. With Valentine's Day just two days away, we have collected a few of the heartfelt, candy-coated, rose-colored photos that you captured for the occasion. And, you can submit your own photos at this link. If Valentine's Day isn't your thing, have no fear: next week's theme is siblings.

Our wedding ceremony

"We did it!!!! Married 6-12-11." - Maggie Oechslie

A Valentine's greeting

"While hiking, I saw this bright leaf that looked like a heart. Everything else was brown and dreary. This said Happy Valentine's Day to me from God!" - Maria Starcher

At last

"Our wedding was on the NC coast, the weekend of Hurricane Irene. Our venue cancelled on us and we were told to evacuate two days before the wedding, but we were able to find a new location and replan everything in a day. After thinking we might not get to even have a wedding, when we actually did, we were beyond grateful." - Mandy Walters

A Valentine's gift

"Our first family photo with our daughter, born on Valentine's Day.  - Lisa West

Sibling love

"My family that I care so much about:  my two brothers and sister." - Samuel Brown

Fifty Valentine's Days

"My great-grandparents at their 50th wedding anniversary in late 1974. I was three years old at the time and although I don't remember this party, I do remember spending time with them before they both passed on. It's encouraging to know and to see that love can stand the test of time." - Kristine Sack
