Dating Anniversary

I just stumbled upon a post on the Married Life board about dating anniversaries and was curious to know how many of you ladies still celebrate that day. Some called it "high school" and I was wondering what the May 2012 wives thought :)

Re: Dating Anniversary

  • Ours was this past September and because we have a wedding Anniversary now we didn't celebrate our dating anniversary. But we did before, it was the day we decided to become bf/gf and it meant a lot for us to have a day to celebrate our relationship. We'd go out to dinner or do something special together...now we will be doing it in may for our wedding anniversary!

  • Well we do but only because we got married on our dating anniversary. It was two years to the day of our first date when we got married.

  • Ours is 6 days from now, we'll have been together for 4 years!  We'll probably acknowledge it, but probably won't "celebrate" it per se.  At least no cards/gifts, maybe we'll use it as an excuse to go out to eat or something.

  • Ours was back in August and it was 7 years! We didn't celebrate, I'd rather celebrate married life milestones. I think it's funny that we went from "Happy 6 years!" to "Happy one month!" Lol

  • We celebrate the anniversary of our first date which happens to be Monday! We went to dinner tonight to 'celebrate' since we don't go out for dinner very often. I think it's nice to acknowledge where it all started.

  • Our 6 year is in February and I'm not sure if we will do anything...
    "Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly"
  • I know the date we met...but we don't celebrate it...it does seem very highschool to me..."We were official on ____ day and celebrate every year" seems odd to me. I can understand at 5 years or something being like.."hey honey guess what its been 5 years since we met...." but to actually celebrate it formally and plan for it seems overkill to me. I think its a bigger feat to stay married year after year then to date when you still had an out if you got bored or w/e (not saying that I or any of you will get bored of being married...but it just doesnt seem like a huge accomplishment to be dating for years, more like why cant you commit and get married yet if anything...some people date for a long time some people date for a short time, I don't think its something that needs to be a big deal after you finally commit and get married)
  • Our's is in April. We'll acknowledge it but we won't "celebrate" really. Actually now that I think about it, I think our friends are getting married on that day in 2013 so I guess we'll celebrate by celebrating the marriage of our friends!

  • Our 8 year anniversary was in October and we both forgot about it! So I guess we won't be celebrating it anymore, which is honestly fine. Even when we did celebrate it, we usually just went out to dinner or I made something nice for us to eat in. We generally don't make a big deal of anniversaries/holidays/etc. anyways.

  • We never knew exactly when it was, so we picked a significant day in our relationship..  basically the it was the day (looking back) that we both realized this was for keeps :)  That day was Nov. 22nd, 4 years ago!   It was actually 2008's Friends Thanksgiving, haha. 

     We do not celebrate it..  never really have.  Hopefully we'll celebrate our wedding anniversary :)  I mean, that was the deal we agreed on with a Cinco de Mayo wedding!

    This exactly! Our 1 yr wedding anniversary will be our 3 yr dating anniversary. If the dates were different, I think we would at least recognize the dating anniversary in conversation, maybe go out for dinner, maybe not. No gifts. But I wouldn't simply forget the significance of our premarital time together because we're married now. Especially if we'd already been together for 8yrs or something before marriage. H and I recognize/celebrate everything though, including our engage-iversary, the date we moved in together lol. It's never a big thing, it's just nice on those dates (or in that timeframe since we can't remember everything) to reflect on time passing since our various relationship milestones. This is specific to us and our relationship though. I've had other relationships that have lasted years and I could have cared less about the anniversary.

    This...We got married on our 15 year anniversary.  Yup...it only took us 15 years!

  • H and I acknowledge the day he asked me to officially be his girlfriend, sometimes we give each other cards or go out to dinner. Nothing big, but we acknowledge the day because it's where we all began. Without that day, we wouldn't have our wedding anniversary :)
