We’re not the only romantic species. Warning: This post contains bad puns.
For somebirdy you love:
Albatrosses are possibly the most romantic animal out there. They spend their first 5 years at sea, and then return to their birth place to find a mate. They might spend years "dancing" with potential lovers to find the one they want to spend the rest of their life with. Birds can be anywhere between 6 and 12 years old when they finally settle down.

From you to your otter half:
Sea otters often hold hands to stop themselves drifting apart when napping, which is the cutest thing ever, but despite this otters aren't a very romantic animal. The male holds the female with his jaws while they have sex, which can result in female otters having permanent scars on their noses. ?

For the one you puffer*:
Japanese pufferfish work for 24 hours a day to create their sandcastles, all just to impress their ladies. Do you love your Valentine that much?
*Like "For the one you prefer" geddit? Sorry.
For someone you want to sea everyday:
Some seahorses mate for life. They will reaffirm their bond every morning when the female comes to the male's territory. They then spin around each other and hold tails. Also the male is the one who gets pregnant, and if that isn't a romantic gesture I don't know what is.
