We don't even remember what our dating anniversary is! Honestly, we didn't have a 'first date' because we were long distance for the first two years of our relationship so it's sort of hard to have a date.
it is also our engage-aversary, so I'm sure it will always be special to us, but it doesn't necessarily mean an expensive night out...my mom still remembers theirs almost 50 years later!
We totally did this year! It was officially 5 years since we started dating on November 6th...so we went out to dinner to celebrate us! Our wedding anniversary is 9/1 though...so we'll definitely celebrate that more.
We got engaged the same day we had our dating anniversary, but to me it's not worth celebrating, our wedding anniversary means so much more to us.
we always celebrate our dating anniversary! it'll be 11 years at the end of December. Even after we are married we still will!
Before we got married, we said "oh yes, certainly!" and now that we're married, we think we were kind of foolish. Being married is so big that it overwhelms what we used to celebrate and the relationship we thought was so close... I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well. Our dating anniversary is sweet, but sweet in the way our first grade pledges of BFF were.
We definintely do! But we consider our dating anniversary to also be the day we became a couple (sappy, right? I guess we knew there was no one else).
Our wedding day was two days before our dating anniversary so now we will just celebrate one anniversary.
we never reeally had a dating anniversary. We've been "together" for about 7 years... we just know that we started dating and falling in love of January 2003. No specific date. I mean we started dating in college and it was a time where a lot of people I knew had things like "04/04/03... the first day of the rest of my love <3 you!" in their AIM (hahahaha AIM) profiles and stuff... For those of you who are little ones and don't know, AIM was pre-facebook.
I always thought those dates were a little too much, and often, those relationships were the on and off again, or short lived ones.
So, as a shorter answer to the question, no we don't celebrate it because we don't have one lol
We never really had a dating anniversary ... (same as GaBGal) ... oops =)
I think that the day we got engaged will be extremely special each year - day after Valentines day!
We probably won't really celebrate it after we get married - we are going to be getting married about 3 weeks before it (we were planning on getting married ON our dating anniversary, which would have been amazing, but it didn't work out because of school). But, FI has said that he still wants to at least acknowledge it after we get married - even if it's just something small.
We didn't last year because it fell on Easter, but we like to celebrate it because if it wasn't for the start of us dating there wouldn't be us :)
We're cheesy. We met on a 7th, got engaged on a 7th, and we're marrying on a 7th. My birthday is also a 7th. We do a lot of celebrating on those days. ;-)
@sunnydebs we are similar! My FI jokes that he chose the 9th as our dating anniversary because my bday is the 9th which would make our anniversary easier to remember... the 9th is significant in our relationship, though!
We're really into our dating anniversary, so we scheduled our wedding to be a week after it. That way, in the future they'll more or less be one and the same! Tricky, huh?
I would honestly like to after we are married, only because we have had a relatively short relationship and have only celebrated one dating anniversary, and won't have any more before the wedding. I don't think we'll "do it up" like we did for our anniversary this year, but I would like to acknowledge the beginning of our relationship -- if it weren't for that day, the wedding day would have never happened!
I think we'll always celebrate it because by the time we're married, we'll have been together for 6 years, and we will want to continue to celebrate the "full duration" of our relationship!
We dont, but I guess that's because we never celebrated our "dating" anniversary too much anyway since we were long distnace. We considered our "dating" anniversary the day we finally met each other (after talking like 2 years online) and to be honest, we both just kind of forgot about it this year... it was in the beginning of April so I was so busy with wedding planning and totally focused on that. The week of our dating anniversary snuck up on me and I was like "oh wow, that's this week." Then I totally forgot about it again until the day got there and was like "wow. look at that. 5 years." looked ovre and told then FI- happy anniversary, and went back to probably look at stuff online lol wedding anniversary we will though. didn't celebrate engagement anniversary either, but I do remember it and thought fondly of it on the day lol
We won't, our 5 year anniversary (when we officially became a couple, not including our 6 months of dating) will be in Jan, and we agreed that we are just going to celebrate our wedding anniversary. But, I love celebrating so I'm sure that day I will cook an extra special dinner or something really little like that :)
We're not married yet, but I know we won't celebrate it. I'll be so glad to have a "new" anniversary. FI and I broke up on our one year dating anniversary. We we got back together, we kind of "made up" a new anniversary, but I never liked it that much. I'll be glad to have a different anniversay altogether.
Our dating anniversary is in December, and since we got married this September, we're celebrating our dating anniversary one last time this year, and then calling it quits. While it's nice to commemorate the day, we just don't feel it's necesary now that we have our wedding anniversary. It's just too much pressure to celebrate them all!
Although, the husband did suggest maybe always getting our fav take-out for dinner on our dating anniversary every year. We'll see :)

The 4th anniversary of our first date is Sunday, but now that we're married, I don't think we're going to really celebrate. We celebrated our 6 month wedding anniversary earlier this week.
To you other Newlyweds--do you still celebrate your dating anniversary, or just your wedding anniversary?
