We mention it fondly to each other and usually reminisce, but we don’t actively celebrate it. We celebrate our wedding anniversary.

This isn't 1915, lots of people date for years and many never marry. You don't need a license to celebrate a milestone.


It’s still incredibly dumb and puerile.

And yeah, you kind of do need a formal event to happen in order to invoke an annual homage. Coffee at the local Starbucks on a Wednesday afternoon isn’t gonna cut it.

Do you also have a “song” too?

How maudlin.


Imho day you met is more divine coincidence than a scheduled wedding event.

We were work friends who started going out more and more after work until one night we kissed, so it really wasn’t a first date but 25+ years on, we still celebrate that anniversary. We don’t make a big deal about it, but always acknowledge it to each other and are extra flirty and lovey with each other. It’s a sweet memory of the beginning of our relationship.

Our wedding day was important and a lovely day but stressful and a hassle. It felt like a continuation of something wonderful rather than the beginning of it. We have been known to both forget our wedding anniversary so we now have an annual calendar reminder a week beforehand so we can make dinner reservations and get a babysitter.

We never have, but we were engaged by the 1-year mark anyway. Married 15 years and we do celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Us, too. Married 20yrs. I forget the actual date but it was the first weekend of December, and usually one of us says something similar to PP above.
