    Now that you are married, do you guys still celebrate your dating anniversary?

     

    Our dating anniversary is coming up and we still plan on celebrating it. Is that weird?

     

    What anniversaries do you guys still celebrate?

    We never really had a set anniversary for when we started dating so we don't celebrate it.  My husband isn't big on holidays anyway so I can barely get him to celebrate Christmas!

    It's also coming up, but I don't know if we'll celebrate it. I kinda hope so, but not necessarily every year, just the big marks. This June will be 3 years; then I'd celebrate for 5, 10, etc.

    But... He's usually better at cards and things than I am, so maybe I'm just asking to get in trouble here! Embarassed

    We're not married yet, but Corey has already said that he wants to continue to do something small for our dating anniversary (even though it's only going to be three weeks after our wedding anniversary!)

    We almost always have forgotten it in the past anyway.  Usually one of us mentions it a day or two later.  Hopefully we will be better at our wedding anniversary!  We usually go on vacation around the time we started dating, so we call a nice dinner out our anniversary dinner.

    Not married yet, but i'm sure we'll continue to at least acknowledge our dating anniverary with SOMETHING - it is on valentine's day after all!

    I don't know that we'll really celebrate it (especially since it's only a month and a half after our wedding anniversary.)  We'll probably mention it but not make a big to-do out of it.

    We got together officially on 4th of July - one of our favorite holidays - so I'm sure we'll continue to considering it a reason to celebrate. :)

    Not married yet, but I have no idea when we started dating all I can remember is that it was around memorial day.

    We don't really celebrate it but we do kind of acknowledge it. Nothing too special and I am OK with that.

    Agree totally with @RoddyBride09.  We may go out to dinner, but then we do that pretty much every weekend -- HA!  Dec. 12 will always have special significance but we don't feel the need to exchange cards or gifts or reserve the night from other events, etc.

    We do dinner....nothing fancy to "celebrate" necessarily. Last time, Dec 15, i picked him up his favorite candy bar, said, "happy anniversary" and we grabbed chinese food.

    Ours is only 12 days after our wedding anniversary, so there's no real reason to celebrate it separately. I think we've simply acknowledged it on the day and just left it at that since we've been married. If it were at a different time of year, we'd probably be more likely to do something.

    Although we haven't yet, (It's coming up) I plan on celebrating it still.  Even if it's just dinner, just so we can remember our dating years.

    Ours is within a month of when we got married so we're just going to celebrate our wedding anniversary but we will be able to kinda celebrate we've been married this long and been together this long.

    our dating anniversary just passed and neither of us said anything, i didn't realize it even happened until reading this post!

    we met on leap year, exactly one year later (but not the day b/c obviously it wasn't leap year again) he proposed, and exactly one year later after that we got married. so i guess we'll just celebrate all of those things on one night. we didn't start dating until about a month after we met, and that's around my birthday, so that would just be a lot of celebrating and we're not into it.

    We decided to not "celebrate" our dating anniversary, but we'll always make a note to do something. Like our favorite take-out or walk and get an ice cream cone :)Mostly, we just use it as a reason to eat poorly.

    We will always continue our dating anniversary! The tradition is just going out to an Italian restaurant -- typically Carraba's :-) It's the day we met so it will be fun 35 years after the fact to go out and say we met 35 years ago.....

    We are not married yet either!  But we don't even know the date that we first meet or starting dating so we can't do a dating anniversary~

    ha.  But we don't really 'celebrate' our wedding anniversary either.  Every January I do make note to hubby on the anniversary of the day we met and our first date (yeah for google calendar) - but it's just a comment - not a celebration.

    Granted we also only 'celebrated' 1 dating anniversary before our wedding 3 months later - so it's not like we had a long standing tradition to continue.

    Not married yet, but we will. Our wedding date is a few days away from our dating anniversary. We won't exactly celebrate the two days separately...they'll most likely become one. If that makes sense. Our first wedding anniversary will be our 10 year dating anniversary - we are not starting over at 1 after all that time! LOL

    We have been celebrating our dating anniversary before the wedding -- but don't plan to continue after we're married. I don't think it's strange though! If you like having extra special days on the calendar, then I think that's cool!

    ours is also our engagement anniversary...so it doesn't have to be anything big, but I want to still remember it!

    I'm not married yet, but FH and I are getting married the same day we started dating. =) So technically, yes.
