DENVER - There are bad Valentine's Days. And then there are tragic ones.
Below are the winners of FOX31/KWGN's Worst Valentine's Day Ever contest in which viewers submitted their horror stories from the holiday. The grand prize winner received a free trip to Hollywood to see the World Premiere of Valentine's Day starring Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Ashton Kutcher, Julie Roberts, Patrick Dempsey, Jamie Foxx, and many others.
GRAND PRIZE WINNER:
My worst and humiliating (really to say the least) Valentine's Day was the day my divorce was final 16 years ago. But to make matters worse was to find out that my own mother was dating my now ex-husband and had been for quite some time. They are still together today, so Valentine's Day is spent trying not to think about it. Wait-I try not to think about it everyday.
-Chris from Parker
1ST RUNNER UP:
I was scheduled for a colonoscopy the day after Valentine's Day. I did not know what to except and I followed the preparation instructions. We arrived home after a nice dinner when I popped all over myself and the bathroom. My wife reminds me all the time that it was her most memorable Valentine's Day
-Thomas from Englewood
2ND RUNNER UP:
In 1976, I was living in Jacksonville Florida. I was 14-years-old and my boyfriend Clay and I were sitting on the curb in front of our apartments. We were talking and exchanging Valentine cards and chocolate when a big German Shepherd came by and, instead of peeing on the fire hydrant that was painted red, the dog lifted his leg and peed on my shirt that was red. How embarrassing it was! This is my worst Valentines story.

3RD RUNNER UP:
My boyfriend in 2004 got me an engagement ring. We had a party with family and friends. He gave the ring to his dad to give me during a toast. He got up and read the inscription, it was sweet it read "Darrell Loves Misty" problem my name is Jessica. I was so embarrassed, and mad. hH apologized after he quit laughing, we did get married and have 3 great kids, even though he is a forgetful man
