Do your friends remember your wedding anniversary?

[Anonymous]

The only one I remember is a friend that married on 12/13/2014 for obvious reasons.

I remember theirs more than my own, which a is a forgettable number. Although over a holiday weekend, so we are more likely to celebrate the day, a Sunday, than the date itself.

I feel some kind of way about it because I do send my one married friend a Happy Anniversary message every year.

I'm not expecting it from every guest of course, but you would think my bridesmaids would say something. I guess I'm just type A and put important dates on my calendar.

Lol I know they see it on Facebook memories because I see it every year when I log in. Even my family forgets to say it so I guess it's not just a friend thing. Every one is busy right? Lol oh well.

What is your experience?

No, my anniversary is a celebration for my spouse and myself no one else. I think it would be weird to hear from others about our anniversary (although our parents usually wish us happy anniversary, and when the kids were little, would offer to babysit so we could have a couples celebration)

I don't even remember the anniversaries of the friends that I was *in* the wedding party! If it wasn't for Facebook I wouldn't ever remember my own anniversary. I have also never received an anniversary card or text or anything from anyone other than my husband, nor would I expect one.

I remember one friend's anniversary because they got married on Halloween, so usually when we're all sending kid costumes to the group chat I'll throw a Happy Anniversary in there for her benefit, but it's more of a funny reminder than something I feel obligated to do.

The wedding party? Are you over 30? Bridesmaid responsibilities end after the wedding is over.

Several of my bridesmaids send a text on our August anniversary. It’s nice. I’m 47 and we all live scattered around the country.

Of course it's nice. No one said it isn't. But it's neither an obligation or a friendship meter, which is how OP views it.

Looks like the OP was merely taking a survey, and had no expectations.
Most people are too busy with life, some people do, whatever.

DP but she came back to say she apparently needs to "lower [her] friendship expectations", so yes: she had expectations.

Sounds like you suffer from Main Character Syndrome. Nobody cares about your g.d. anniversary. They have their own lives.

Also, grow up.

My in-laws sent us a card every year and I find that odd. It's our "personal" holiday/remembrance, in my opinion. I mean fine, they send us a card, I just think it's weird.

No. Only people who remember other than us are our parents
