Which anniversaries do you and your spouse (or future spouse) celebrate? Just the wedding anniversary, or also your dating anniversary, the anniversary of your engagement, or even the anniversary of the first time you met?

Now that we've hit this big milestone I think I'm ready to let go of the dating anniversary. Smiley shame But it felt crazy to start over with so few years of marriage!

    Our dating anniversary is January 31st and our wedding date is January 19th so I think we will just celebrate our wedding anniversary since the dates are so close to each other.

    We were planning to get married on our dating anniversary, October 10, because we have been together 6 years. We are attached to that date. Except, now we have to get legally married a week beforehand in California because of misinformation provided to us by a woman at the Nevada courthouse. Its very frustrating and disappointing but we will continue to treat the ceremony in Vegas as the real wedding.

    We will be getting married a month before our 15th anniversary. We never really celebrated our anniversaries. We usually get each other cards. For our 10th we did do a trip with just the 2 of us which was pretty big. We probably won’t celebrate our wedding anniversary either. We celebrate Christmas, sometimes our birthdays.

    Our dating anniversary is March 24th. Our engagement anniversary is just after 1am on March 26th. And we're getting married March 23rd, 2019. So, we'll make a weekend of it. =)

    The day we first met is right before Valentine's Day, so we kind of lump that into Valentine's for us.

    We just celebrate our wedding anniversary. Neither of us really even knows what day our first date was. I know it was in early January 2009, but that's as close as I can get!

    Congrats on your and your hubby’s anniversary! That’s amazing!!

    My FH and I have been together for over 5 years so I think it’ll be an adjustment to “start over” with our wedding date but both anniversaries will be similar! Dating - 4/16 and wedding 11/16!

    My husband and I have different views on which day we had our "first date" but we usually celebrate the day he asked me to be his girlfriend, which was 2/13/11. He decided that we should only celebrate our wedding anniversary now (8/19). I'm fine with that because Valentine's Day is the day after our dating anniversary. We don't need to celebrate twice and it'll save us money 😊

    Well our dating anniversary is 6/7/14 and our engagement anniversary is 6/7/16 but our wedding date is 6/8/19.... we will probably celebrate both the 7th and 8th of every June

    How do you and your husband have differing views of your first date? Did you go out before 2/13 but you both used that date as your dating anniversary?

    Didn’t cross mine either! I really wanted to get married in June, so I told him to pick any Sunday in June 2019... he looked at the date options, and then realized this! It was a perfect coincidence haha

    Right now we celebrate our dating anniversary on 1/25 each year. We are getting married on 1/25/19 so we will only have one date: I would sureley celebrate both dates if they were different.
