This year was 11 years! Nowadays we mostly just celebrate with a nice dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married/page/2#post-1898329 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 12:54:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1898329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll say something to acknowledge it but we don't do anything for it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married/page/2#post-1898321 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 12:42:30 +0000 lawbee11 1898321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope!

Technically, our dating anniversary is more epic haha, but we still treat wedding anniversary as "more important".

We do sometimes recall our dating anniversary, but it's between Christmas and our birthdays so it's kind of a celebration-ridden time anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896436 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 09:07:23 +0000 Pirouette 1896436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: happy dateversary!!!</p> <p>to us, the day we met is actually MORE important than the day we got married. Not that our marriage isn't a huge deal, but the day we met was life altering and we actually treat it as a bigger deal than our wedding anniversary, which seems a little more arbitrary in the context of our relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896408 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 08:41:55 +0000 Smurfette 1896408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896398 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 08:37:44 +0000 MapleMoose 1896398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember the exact day we met because we became friends in middle school. The day we started dating (in college) is a long weekend so we do something fun but don't specifically link the activity to our dating anniversary anymore, nor do we exchange gifts. We celebrate our wedding anniversary traditionally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896396 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 08:37:32 +0000 yoursilverlining 1896396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know what day we met and we only vaguely remember the date of our first date (around June 20ish); so we don't celebrate either. I'm surprised by the number of people who celebrate "firsts"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896393 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 08:36:57 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1896393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember the day we met or even the day we went on our first date. I do remember the day we had our conversation where we would date exclusively. We still recognize the day and count it towards how long we've been together. It's only a month after our wedding anniversary though, so we're starting to lump it together now that we've been together for over 10 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896386 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 08:34:43 +0000 pui 1896386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even know the date of the day we met.</p> <p>We do celebrate our first date and the day we got engaged though, but only because those days are also our wedding anniversary ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896363 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 08:17:01 +0000 Kimberlybee 1896363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We celebrated it for a long time before we got married and it's still very special to me but we don't do anything special on that day now. We just celebrate our wedding anniversary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896355 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 08:13:15 +0000 JMOM 1896355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea when we first met or when our first date was - it was over 19 years ago. I can't even remember what happened yesterday, ha ha. I remember after we got married we celebrated our anniversary every month but I think that stopped after 6 months. We just do anniversaries but it is not usually anything special. We had better do something big for our 20th (in 2 years)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896350 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 08:12:11 +0000 snowjewelz 1896350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dating anniversary is today, and we acknowledge it and "celebrated" two nights ago. We don't eat out a lot so eating out alone counts as celebrating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896349 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 08:11:37 +0000 LuLu Mom 1896349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, we always know when it is because it's his cousin's anniversary (met at the wedding) but we don't really celebrate it. We really aren't anniversary people though, we go out to eat for our wedding one and that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896348 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 08:11:22 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1896348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never did.

So far we mark both those times and usually do something to mark or engagement day. Our engagement felt like such a big deal to me is important to do something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896294 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 07:47:57 +0000 hilary 1896294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met as college freshmen, so I have no clue as to the actual date so we just stick to our wedding anniversary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896290 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 07:44:51 +0000 MrsScottish 1896290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We acknowledge when we started dating, and usually go out for coffee (which was our first official date), which was just over 9 years ago. We of course celebrate our wedding anniversary which is 2.5 years ago, but not in any grand fashion. We worked together for 2 years prior to dating, so don`t celebrate the whole "first time we met". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896276 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 07:21:30 +0000 MrsTiz 1896276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't celebrate it, but we acknowledge it.

Not a major celebration but we do at least acknowledge it and share a special kiss on the way to work. If I'm off that night we'll go out to dinner. Same with first-date/kiss-anniversary, first-sex-anniversary, first-I-love-you-anniversary, engagement-anniversary, and so forth. They're good memories! And I'm good with numbers/dates, which helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896247 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 06:57:20 +0000 Mamaof2 1896247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did for a few years and then we stopped </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-celebrate-the-day-you-first-met-the-day-you-started-dating-or-the-day-you-got-married#post-1896234 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 06:26:21 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1896234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have a general sense of the day we first met and went on a date.
