Married ladies: Do you still celebrate your "dating" anniversary

Anonymous, on May 13, 2014 at 9:36 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 37

This is something I always wondered. FH's anniversary of when we started dating is coming up. Do you celebrate that still now that you're married or just your wedding anniversary? Non married ladies do you think you will still celebrate your dating anniversary if you do already?

    The day we went and our anniversary are 4 days apart. If they weren't that close, I'm sure we'd mention it - like hey we met X number of years ago today, but that'd be pretty much it.

    My husband woke me up on March 26th and said "Happy Anniversary, Babe."

    I was the one that forgot. -___-

    But yes, we did celebrate. We had an amazing (and amazingly expensive) dinner.

    I remember dates and things, so will probably bring it up. He won't remember, but will smile and say something sweet if I remind him.

    No, we never really celebrated it. He thought anniversary celebrations were silly unless you were actually married. But, hopefully we'll actually celebrate our anniversary now. He took the whole week of our anniversary off, so maybe a belated honeymoon is in our future Smiley winking

    We got engaged on our one-year dating anniversary, so we did celebrate it for a while. Now we don't really bother. (Though, now that I'm thinking of it, in June it will be five years together - that's worth a nice dinner, right?)

    Our "met" date and our engagement date are exactly 1 year apart, so YES, we celebrate -- usually by going back to the same restaurant.

    My fh and I deceided we are only going to celebrate our dating anniversary and not the wedding anniversary because we have been together for 13 years and it will be 14 years when we say I do. Our dating anniversary is April 21 so not much difference on dates.

    I do not think we'll celebrate our dating anniversary. FH always jokes that once we get married our current anniversary won't count... I only think we won't celebrate it bc it's right after my birthday and valentines day. I have a plate from when we painted pottery and that was the same day he asked me out. So I def won't forget the date. (He's actually better at remembering dates then I am.)

    I'm typically not big on celebrating stuff, but for some reason this year I was so into celebrating our anniversary and doing something for valentines day. It was so weird and different.

    We don't celebrate our dating anniversary since we've gotten married. Ours was in November. Since I remember dates, I'll mention it, but that's about it.

    Hahahaha - I just hung up with my mom. She mentioned that she and my dad have something going on this weekend and she also said, you know Saturday marks 40 years since we met so maybe we can celebrate that too.

    Just thought the timing was funny.

    and 40 years. holy sh!t, 40(!!) years

    We got married about 7 days before our dating anniversary, but we never celebrate. My husband often forgets dates, and if I remember I will just mention it to him, but it's never a big deal.

    Our two dates will only be a couple weeks apart (actually... I just realized that today is our dating anniversary...oooooops), but we started dating on a Friday the 13th, so I suspect we may only celebrate on the years when the 13th falls on Friday. As you can see, we already don't make much of a deal about the date haha.
