White Castle restaurants across the U.S. hosted their annual Valentine's Day dinner promotion, a tradition spanning 35 years, while the holiday also saw celebrations of Presidents' Day and the release of new films, including "Wuthering Heights." This year, the fast-food chain's 325 locations with dining rooms participated in the Valentine's Day event, offering an intimate meal experience for couples and loved ones, according to Jamie Richardson, chief.
For some, the White Castle Valentine's Day dinner is a deeply personal tradition. Krystal Gray reserved a table at a White Castle in Ferndale, Michigan, to honor her late mother, Cornelia Murphy, who cherished the experience. Gray planned to bring a photo of her mother to the dinner, seeking comfort in the familiar ritual.
Presidents' Day, observed on the third Monday of February, also took center stage. The holiday, one of the earliest federal holidays enacted by Congress, honors George Washington's birthday and legacy. Celebrations included patriotic parades, historical reenactments, and readings of presidential speeches, such as Washington's Farewell Address, according to Time. Lindsay Chervinsky, executive director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon, told Time that the day is "a really good opportunity to reflect on the origins of the presidential office."
Meanwhile, the film industry saw the release of "Wuthering Heights," with production details emerging. The film's production designer, Suzie Davies, was excited to work on the project, having experience with period dramas. The film's director, Emerald Fennell, provided the hair and makeup department head, Sian Miller, with a mood board of imagery. One notable aspect of the film's production involved using photographs of Margot Robbie's skin to create wallpaper for the set, as reported by Variety.
