"What do you wanna do for our first anniversary?" "Oh, just something nice for dinner. It's on a Monday, so we can't really go out."
Yeah, I'm not going to spend hours making something so YOU can have a nice dinner for OUR anniversary. It's not likely that I'll be able to cook without throwing up anyway, let alone eat "something nice" (read: lamb.) Plus - weekends. They happen.
Anyway. He's crap at planning, so I've got to come up with whatever it is we do. Any ideas?

Celebrating on the weekend is a good idea. You could take a day trip to Savannah. Maybe a staycation? There are some really nice restaurants downtown.

Happy Anniversary! DH and I took a day trip and went for a nice dinner and really enjoyed ourselves, so I second that suggestion.

I was 6 months pregnant on our first anniversary so we decided to take an anniversary/babymoon trip to the Outer Banks. It was so much fun!

For our first anniversary my husband and I went to a nice restaurant about an hour away from where we live and stayed overnight it a charming historical inn. It was a nice weekend.

If it were me, in early pregnancy- you are feeling like crap, please don't cook- go somewhere with comfort food that you can stomach.
If I were going to Charleston, I would go to Hominy Grill for some of their biscuits and grits. Not the fanciest place, but mmmmmmm!

@miss-spunkin: This is what I'm hoping we do next year. Something less than 2hrs away, and spend the night at a cute boutique hotel.
Oh and Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!! We had a very similar conversation before our anniversary and ended up going out to dinner on Saturday because I didn't think cooking sounded like a great way for me to celebrate.
Charleston sounds like fun!

@pastemoo: we actually stayed at the Hilton (on the Canada side by the way). We got a great deal on one of those living social sites - so we got a room with a jacuzzi in the bathroom, and then a $75 voucher for dinner at the nice hotel restaurant overlooking the falls, and the breakfast buffet was included, as well as 2 free drinks at their fancy bar at the pent house level. It was super fun. We also got a voucher for a free wine tasting and tour that we used the next day. The whole deal cost us $140 - then we also had to pay for parking overnight and our dinner came to about $115 (so we paid $40 after the voucher), and we left tips at breakfast and the bar. Overall still a great deal for everything we got!
