Do you still celebrate your dating anniversary?

brij2006

Aim's post got me thinking about this. Do you still celebrate it?

Well this was supposed to be a clicky poll, but guess the Nest is going to hate on them again.

We go out to dinner, but no gifts or anything else.

We acknowledge it, and if our schedules work, we'll go out to dinner.  Nothing fancy though.  I'm sure when we hit our 10 year dating anniversary (in 3 years), we'll probably do something nice.

I usually use it as an excuse to go out to dinner, but we do not exchange gifts.  It's more of a conversation where we reminisce about how we've changed over the years. 

mrskimm09

We more or less acknowledge it. Sometimes we go to dinner. We celebrate just our wedding now. 

brij2006

We will usually say something to each other, and maybe do something a little special for dinner.  It will be 10 years on June 2nd and we feel like we should do something this year.

We acknowledge it in conversation, or on each other's Facebook walls (12 years with you!), but that's it. We make a big deal out of our wedding anniversary.

We acknowledge it, but don't normally do anything special. Maybe we'll go to the same restaurant this year now that y'all have me thinking about it

We might mention it, but we don't do anything for it

This.

Nope, most of the time we forget to even mention it. 

GoodWolf

We usually just acknowledge it and stick to celebrating our wedding anniversary.

Same as PP we might say something about it but don't do anything special

No, we don't. We broke up and got back together so many times that I stopped paying attention to the dates.

BackseatDriver

Nope. We don't really even acknowledge it. It's only a couple weeks after our wedding anniversary so maybe that contributed to it being looked over.

Kinda. Last year I got DH (since we weren't married yet) a VIP ticket to the Beer, Bourbon, & BBQ festival for our dating anniversary. Since we both loved it and were very shnockered, we're going again this year, but it's more of something we loved that happens to be around the time of our dating anniversary. I hope it continues.

No, I can't remember the day :-)

My H argues this sometimes too.  If you count  from when we made it "FB official" the 3rd time we got back together, then we technically have only been together 5 years instead of 10.

We acknowledge it. But it is only 4 days before our wedding anniversary so we roll it all into one usually as far as celebrating.

mrsskiz

Since we got married we havent, but Im sure in January when we will be together for 10 years, Im sure something will be mentioned.

arj14

Not really, since neither of us can remember the exact date.  It's also only about a month away from our wedding anniversary, so we just go with that one for most dating of our relationship.

seahorse01

We know what month we met, but can't remember the day.  So no.

OohSparkly13

We used to try to go out to dinner to celebrate but haven't done that in a few years. This year will be 10 years though so we will probably do something for that. One thing we make sure we do every year though is wish each other "happy x month anniversary." So this year will be our 120 month anniversary. We started dating in our late teens so we were one of those silly couples that would celebrate every month for the first year or so, lol. Then it just became a silly thing we enjoyed doing so we kept it up.

We acknowledge it, but don't really celebrate. Tomorrow is only our second one... yeah, we moved fast lol.

mrsvedo

Ours is 4 days before Christmas, so it tends to get rolled into one. Even before we were married we tended to combine anniversary and Christmas gifts (we had 8 dating anniversaries before we were married, haha). We mostly just acknowledge it at this point but definitely focus more on the wedding anniversary.

nfp147

We acknowledge it if we remember, but we don't do anything.

We moved fast, too. Our 2nd is in June.

We might acknowledge it if we remember it. But it's the day after Valentines (which we don't really celebrate either.) I refused to be "that girl" who had to have a date on that day. DH claims he didn't realize what date he asked me out for.

MRads

Ours we just consider the same day as H's birthday, which is a week after our wedding anniversary. We do a big celebration of all three events.

Good point. It's the opposite for us. Our wedding anniversary is Oct and our birthdays are both in Nov. But our dating anniversary is June. So it's a nice excuse to celebrate something outside of fall.
