The day we met is still a special day for us... maybe even as special as the day we got married! Our meet-aversary is coming up, and we will probably do something special for it. It'll be 11 years in November!
Do you celebrate your meetaversary, your date-aversary, or your anniversary?

I don't have a clue what date it was when we met. We just got married recently, so right now we will celebrate the day we started dating - almost 9 years ago!

We stopped celebrating our date anniversary when we got engaged. Then we celebrated our 1 engage-versary before we got married. Now we just celebrate our wedding anniversary!

Date-aversary. DH & I initially agreed to celebrate our anniversary only but it felt odd to not recognize the other 9.5 years of our relationship.

We only celebrate our wedding anniversary. I couldn't even tell you the day we met.

We celebrate our dating anniversary - for us that day was very special and just as important as our wedding anniversary in a way. Also happens to be Christmas Eve!

We had a date to celebrate the 5 year anniversary of our 1st date...at the same place where we had that first date. But we mostly only celebrate our wedding anniversary.

I definitely don't remember the day we met. It was like 15 years ago. I don't remember the day of our first date either... sometime in December 2005? I do remember the exact day we became "official" -- February 9, 2006. 
We only celebrate our marriage anniversary!

We celebrate our wedding anniversary but also recognize our dating anniversary (we just say happy anniversary that day to each other).

We celebrate both the day we started dating (9/3/05) and the day we got married (9/3/11).

We celebrate our dating anniversary (8/27) and our wedding anniversary (10/19). I don't want to disregard the 8 years we had before we were married!

Yes, because we're giant nerds. But we just get dinner or something. This Dec, we've been together 10 years.
cantaloupe / 6885 posts
Nope...we met when I was 7 and he was 9 so I have no idea what day it was. And our dating anniversary is just 2 weeks before our real anniversary so we just celebrate that

We say something like hey we've been together 6 years! But we don't celebrate it, per se.

We only have a general sense of the day we first met and went on a date. We celebrate our anniversary only.

We do! 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.

We don't! Acknowledge it via text or something that day but that's about it!

We don't celebrate it, but we acknowledge it. It will be 5 years for us in 10 days!

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".

We met as college freshmen, so I have no clue as to the actual date so we just stick to our wedding anniversary.

We have two wedding anniversaries, when we signed papers with my brother and his gf, and two dear friends and our officiant 4/19/13 and 5/25/13 when we had our wedding. 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.
hostess / cantaloupe / 6486 posts
We never did. Mostly because I remember like the week before & then the day after. ...I've never remembered the day of lol

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.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
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!

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)!
grapefruit / 4997 posts
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.

I don't even know the date of the day we met.
We do celebrate our first date and the day we got engaged though, but only because those days are also our wedding anniversary 
pomelo / 5524 posts
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.

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"!
grapefruit / 4213 posts
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.

@snowjewelz: happy dateversary!!!
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.
blogger / watermelon / 14218 posts
Definitely don't remember when we met... 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!
grapefruit / 4903 posts
We acknowledge it, but I wouldn't say we celebrate it by making a fuss.

We celebrate the anniversary of our first kiss - in December, it will be 11 years for us too!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@Pirouette: I agree! Technically, our dating anniversary is more epic haha, but we still treat wedding anniversary as "more important". Such contradicting thoughts lol!

Other than it was summer of 02, I couldn't tell you the date we met or the date of our first actual date if my life depended on it. We've never been a couple that celebrated "firsts."
kiwi / 543 posts
We celebrate both - our dating anniversary is also our wedding anniversary (different years) which works out pretty well LOL This year is 20 years together and 13 married.
