KWR? First dating anniversary as a married couple

It just hit me tonight that H and I's 8 year dating anniversary is two weeks from today! We've decided that now that we're married, the only anniversary we'll celebrate is our wedding day (duh). But I'd be lying if I said it's not gonna be weird to just pass over the day like it's nothing when it...

We've decided that now that we're married, the only anniversary we'll celebrate is our wedding day (duh). But I'd be lying if I said it's not gonna be weird to just pass over the day like it's nothing when it was so special to us for the past 7 years.

What about you guys?! Think you'll still celebrate/do something special on your dating anniversary, or is it strictly your wedding anniversary now?

    Our dating and engagement anniversaries are within a couple weeks of each other, and they came 2 months after our wedding. We acknowledged it and I think I posted something on social media about getting engaged a year ago (we had a 10 month engagement) but we didn't really celebrate.

    We decided to do something small for our dating anniversary, just to acknowledge it, and do something bigger for our wedding anniversary.

    Our dating anniversary is 2 days after my birthday, so we always kind of celebrated them together. I'm ok with having it just be my birthday from now on, and now have a separate anniversary so I think we will probably just celebrate that Smiley smile but as we also will have been dating for 8 years when we get married, it will be kind of weird having a new anniversary

    I honestly never knew that a dating anniversary celebration was something that existed outside of the movies until WW. I don't know of anyone who celebrates theirs. I couldn't even tell you what ours is. I've got it narrowed down to "summer" that's about itSmiley smile

    Our dating anniversary is my birthday, so I'm pretty sure we'll still celebrate it. =)

    We still plan to acknowledge it. It is such an important day that I can't imagine not acknowledging how long we have been together total.

    I will always remember our dating date because it is my FH birthday, but he says that date doesn't matter after we're married... we will only celebrate his birthday. I'm like.... what? Excuse me?? We've been together for six years and we always gave each other gifts or cards/texts, sometimes I give him two gifts .

    Ours will be the day after our wedding, so we'll probably be still dancing by the time midnight comes and since we always have a nice dinner, I'm pretty sure we'll still do it (it'll be our 15th dating anniversary so it's tradition by now)

    We don't really celebrate our current official "dating" anniversary - but we do celebrate our first date. We go back to the same restaurant and have dinner just like we did that first night Smiley smile We'll probably continue to do that, just because it's fun. We don't do gifts or cards or anything - so I imagine we'll start doing that for the wedding anniversary and still just have a fun first date anniversary to celebrate too.

    We are getting married 2 days after our meeting anniversary so we only have 1 to celebrate.

    We only had 1 dating anniversary before getting married, since things happened pretty fast for us. We will probably acknowledge it, but doubt we will make it a big deal.

    Our wedding is going to be June 13th, 2020. The day we met was June 12th, 2015, we started dating on June 14th, and we went on our first date on the 15th. Figure this way no one can forget our anniversary! Smiley smile

    Our first dating anniversary since being married was earlier this month. I had told DH before we got married that while I didn't feel like we needed to do anything special (big plans, special date, or presents), I would still like to make a point to spend time together that day and remember that it was a special day. I think we binge watched a favorite show together that evening and just enjoyed each other's company.

    We aren’t big celebrators. We have never celebrated our anniversary. We’ve been together almost 9 years (on 12/28)

    Our 7 year dating anniversary was 3 days after our wedding.. We pretty much just accepted that our celebration was our wedding.

    We always celebrate our dating anniversary and it was special to do so this year as a married couple for the first time. H proposed on our dating anniversary so it holds a special place for us. We plan to celebrate both our dating and wedding anniversaries each year.

    Our dating anniversary is irrelevant now that we are married.
