In more news about Valentine's Day, Briefly News previously reported that social media influencer @AdvoBarryRoux shared a heartwarming Valentine's Day moment between a couple on Twitter and South Africans are living for it.

The post consisting of four images show off an adorable picnic set up on a red curtain with chips and fruit loops there to snack on. With the man dressed in a red pullover and the woman rocking a matching red dress and hat, the loving couple reminded many online users that money and love don't necessarily need to go hand in hand.

The bond between the couple was quickly praised by Saffas who admired that their focus is on each other regardless of their financial situation. Many social media users seem to agree that effort is more important than the price of a dinner or gift.
