I'm awful because I couldn't tell you when our dating anniversary is. Sometime in the summer? We don't celebrate it, just our wedding anniversay.
-
We usually acknowledge our dating anniversary, but don't do anything more elaborate than maybe going out to dinner to celebrate. We don't really do gifts for our wedding anniversary, either, because we've managed to be able to go on anniversary trips each year.
-
We only celebrate our wedding anniversary. We started dating in high school and I'm not even sure what our dating anniversary would be.
-
@lauraeabel: ours were too, but everyone that really mattered were there! Plus, saying it was our anniversary helped justify it to the cranky ones.
@HeartAbandoned: I love doing experiences for our anniversary!
@septca: thanks! We are still a few months away, but I'm confident we'll make it.
Same here with the champagne! Friday night is enough reason to celebrate with a bottle, right?
-
We dated for over 8 years before getting married but only acknowledge our wedding anniversary.
-
We don't really celebrate our dating anniversary, but we keep track. So I remember the day, and know how many years it's been, but it's not a celebration or anything.
-
I would love to have a celebration for both, but dh won't have it!
-
Well our dating anniversary is 6/4 & wedding anniversary is 6/9 so I told my DH we celebrate all week. lol Usually we try to take a weekend trip somewhere to celebrate.
-
We acknowledge it. Next year is the big one, 10 years since we started dating!
-
@avivoca: that's us this year, it's a big milestone!
-
Yes we do! In fact, we just had our 10 year dating anniversary this past Wednesday and we went out to a fancy dinner
I love to plan special date nights, and we worked hard for that decade, haha.
-
Ours after the day after each other so while we only do something on one day we do celebrate them both.
-
@MrsSCB: congrats!
I think a fancy dinner is definitely on the agenda.
-
@Crystal: Thank you, and you too! Hard to believe it's been so long!
I'm a fan of a nice dinner for pretty much any occasion
-
We acknowledge it and maybe go to dinner, but we will celebrate our wedding anniversary. This remains to be seen though as this is our first anniversary coming up in October. I just find it so hard to forget about a date that was so important to us for 8 years.
-
@Crystal: Oh he would be punished if he said the first years didn't count. Spanky spanky.
But seriously that sucks. Those were the best years of our lives, so far! We pretty much grew up together in that time, they sure as shit do count!
And if people ask how long we've been married I say X amount of time, BUT we've been together for X amount of time. I earned it!
-
@Mrs.Panda: I say the same thing! While we've been together we've seen people meet, get married, and divorced (sadly). We've been through a lot and grown up, and those years deserve to be celebrated.
Sounds like I need to bring this up with DH again.
-
@Mrs.Panda: "If people ask how long we've been married I say X amount of time, BUT we've been together for X amount of time. I earned it!" <---I do the same! I feel like answering that we've been married for "almost two years" somehow doesn't do full justice to our relationship, since we've been together for ten! So I almost always mention that part
-
@MrsSCB: I think I like to have my cake and eat it too. I love being considered a newlywed, but I also want the recognition for the amount if years we have been together, lol.
-
We never celebrated a dating anniversary, just our wedding anniversary.
-
we acknowledge our dating anniversary but don't celebrate it. But when it's our wedding anniversary we always say 10 + x just to be annoying.
We hate it when people ask how long we've been married then when we say 3 years they're all like oh just you wait things will be different. Um. Sorry dude. We've been together almost 14 years, we don't suddenly hate each other.
ETA: my brother and SIL have been together for 20 years and they still celebrate their dating and wedding anniversary every year!
-
They're the same date.
-
We were married at city hall, didn't have a wedding ceremony, and were basically legalizing our already very serious relationship, so that anniversary isn't special to us. Instead we celebrate the day we met and became part of each other's lives.
-
We dated for 6 years before we got married, and we only celebrate our wedding anniversary.
-
We don't really celebrate it, mainly because it's only a couple weeks before our wedding anniversary, but we do acknowledge it. This year was 5 years married, 12 years together
-
@locavore_mama: I get the same thing when I say we've been married about 1.5 years! It's part of the reason I like to acknowledge the 8 years we were together before marriage. We've got this.
@theonewhere: is your sn a friends reference?
Do you ever celebrate/acknowledge the additional years even though it's on the same day?
-
I think we will do something special this year because it is our 15 year anniversary of being together (we lived together for 8 years before getting married and were together for 10 total pre-marriage). Otherwise we acknowledge our dating anniversary and celebrate our wedding anniversary.
-
We celebrate our wedding anniversary, but I always make a point of making a nice dinner and saying happy dating anniversary to hubs. It's important to me, he doesn't care.
-
We married on our 5th dating anniversary. So this year is 10 years together and 5 married.
Same here with the champagne! Friday night is enough reason to celebrate with a bottle, right?
And if people ask how long we've been married I say X amount of time, BUT we've been together for X amount of time. I earned it!
