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

Anonymous, on May 13, 2014 at 9:36 AM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 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?

    We celebrate it now but I don't think we'll celebrate it officially after we get married.

    My FH and I met 5 days before his birthday and actually went on our first date on his birthday (he didn't tell me until I asked during the date when his birthday was! lol!) and it is only a month apart from the two, so probably say it in passing but not do anything special until the wedding anniversary.. Smiley smile

    We mention it when it comes around but don't purposefully celebrate it

    We aren't married yet but we celebrate every 12th which is the day we started "dating"…aka crossed the lines of just friends. I think we will always make the 12th a priority…it's been two years and we are still going strong!

    Our wedding anniversary will be two days after our dating anniversary. FH always remembers our dating anniversary because I made it our wifi password Smiley smile

    Guess I'll change it to the wedding anniversary when the time comes. Don't want to confuse him!

    We got married a week after our dating anniversary, so they're close enough that I'm not sure it makes sense to celebrate them separately. It's basically "hey, we've been dating for X number of years today!" and thats it. We'll stick to actually celebrating the wedding anniversary Smiley smile

    We do now, but we will probably stop, since our dating anniversary is February 7/8 (we started going out at a party late at night so we usually just pick which day is move convenient). After all of the holidays (and both our birthdays being in January) we are usually pretty celebrated out at that point.

    I still celebrate my wedding anniversary most of the time, But I kind of prefer low profile so me and my hubby gets a bottle of wine and I cook a nice dish which we enjoy a lot.

    Our dating anniversary and wedding anniversary are 4 days apart! June 25th (dating) and June 29th (wedding) so we combine them!

    We're getting married the day before our dating anniversary, so we'll still celebrate Smiley smile

    Im getting married one year later on the date he proposed. Our dating anniversary is the day after the proposal date. He was planning on proposing on our dating anniversary but he got so nervous and stressed from waiting that he moved the proposal up a day.

    I'm not married yet but I've never celebrated the dating anniversary with my FH. Partly because there is no clear day when we started dating... it was more of a gradual thing for us.

    We were together a whopping 13 years before we decided to get married. We met sep/oct and got married in the autumn so the dates have alawys coincided-- pretty much. In total its 25 years togetherSmiley heart

    Its often a lot to explain (ah, yes, we've been together 13 years but married officially 12 years, so its our 12 year anniversary but....blah blah you know the rest!)

    So we just celebrate Smiley gift happy 25 years together! Smiley cake and go along with the traditional gift for the number of years. Which is....silver
