    We did 6 months, a year and we'll probably do a year and a half because we'll be together on August 1st. After that though, we'll probably stop with the half-years. I did wish him a happy year and five months on July 1st this year, but monthaversaries aren't really a thing we do anymore. We celebrate Valentine's day and our birthdays.
    It's funny because Christmas, my birthday, our anniversary, Valentine's day and his birthday are all within 2 months of each other. That's a fun time of year. Since that's so crazy though, we don't really do any other special dates. I'll always think of Jan. 29 as the day that things started happening between us and we were suddenly more than friends. (Then we were together 3 days later.)

      We only really acknowledge the day we started dating Nov. 17th, and now that we've gotten past the year and a half point, we'll probably only do year marks. Hopefully we'll get married on the same day too one day since we both have horrible memories when dates and anniversaries are involved haha.

      I once found this calculator thing were it gave you like crazy calculations on how many seconds/minutes/hours you've talked to your SO and we would joke around and post like "Oh babe, happy 9453958396395 seconds anniversary!" on each other's facebooks but I just tried searching for it and can't find it. It was funny though.

        My SO and I celebrate the date we got back together (September 17th, 2011) after a short break up of 7 weeks after being together for a year and four months. We do acknowledge the first time we made it official though (March 17th, 2010) but we do not celebrate it for that.

        Became a couple: March 17th, 2010
        Started our college long distance relationship: August 2011
        Surprise engagement in Disneyworld! : March 22nd, 2013
        Closed the distance: May 2nd, 2014
        Became his wife and started our happily ever after!: May 17th, 2014

          I think I'll always celebrate the day we met in person and went official. (4th Dec) I would like to continue to celebrate that as our Anniversary, but it technically isn't now, as we married on the 5th of Feb. And Obi isn't onside with that, so the only date we celebrate with more than a high-five is our wedding anniversary.

          Other than those two dates, we don't keep track. Like, I know the date we first spoke on msn, the date we closed the distance, and the date he proposed (25th Dec) because they are important for the visa process; but they come and go and it's rare for me to realise on the day that "wow it's been another year since...". We never kept track of monthaversaries, because we both are of the opinion that to do so only shows we don't expect our relationship to last until real milestones are achieved. We don't want to cheapen Anniversaries when they come or anything, we're odd like that.

          Both the 4th of Dec and 5th of Feb are equally important to us.

          He also keeps track of the date he was hit by a car and sometimes has a party for that

            Sounds interesting... Is this story on the forum somewhere?

            I keep track of the first time we met for coffee - December 21, 2011 - and our first date - December 26, 2012.
            I generally remind him of the first one, and we generally both wish each other happy -- month anniversaries on the 26th of every month. That's about all.
            Although, for our 5 month anniversary, he took me out as that is the only anniversary we've ever spent together, or will spend together, for 2 years...

              We are going to celebrate the day we officially got together in August. It's awesome because I will be there
              We don't acknowledge monthly dates. It pops up in my mind when the day is close but slips away soon again. I'm not really good at keeping track of the date every month and even mentioning it. I have personally a second date and that is when we first kissed. That was half a year before we officially got together. Wow! But the day we got together was definitely One of the happiest in my life

                  I usually go in a subconscious order. Like, the day we met, the day we got together, one month, 6 months, 1 year, etc. Though, they are usually only mentally recognized on my side and maybe mentioned to him.. at least for now, since we haven't really hit any major ones yet.

                  .. and it totally doesn't help us keep track of things since when he updated the relationship status on fb he made the date earlier than it was supposed to be. lol.
                  I just didn't mention it to him.. though, I'm starting to think that almost all guys suck at remembering actual dates. xP
                  "Babe, I'm totally murdering everyone in this building right now! ... You would be so proud of me."
                  This. This is only one of the reasons that I love this man. XD

                    We recognise, the day he asked me to be his girlfriend (hadn't met at this point), the day we first met (which I tend to class as our anniversary for simplicity's sake for the people around us) and now that we're engaged, I suppose we'll celebrate that when we get to the one year mark :P
                    Together since: Feb 23rd 2005.
                    First met: June 13th 2006

                      We celebrated 6 months, then 12 months and 18 months (to a degree). We always note the 29th of each month as a month extra milestone but it's not a big deal. The big thing will be me hopefully spending Christmas with him this year which will also fall over our 2 year anniversary. That will be worth celebrating

                        We don't really celebrate anniversaries, but we acknowledge the day we first kissed (our decided for that to be our "started dating anniversary) and then we have our marriage anniversary.
                        I have no idea on what date we got engaged or something like that.

                          He remembers more of the days than I do. He remembers when we met, whereas I don't. We do use the day of our first kiss as the day we started dating (or rather the day I consider our first kiss). We acknowledge that day monthly, but only really celebrate the "big days" like six months and tweleve months. That day is about a week before my birthday and for a while he was convinced that day was my birthday because I talk about it all the time.

                          We've only been able to celebrate our six months and our year and six months together so far. We had to celebrate our one year together early because of when my school break was. This year it'll be weird because it's the day before Thanksgiving and I won't be home and my family lumps Thanksgiving and my birthday together because I'm never home for that either.

                          ". . . We obviously have to come to accept it, but that doesn't stop it from gnawing at us day by day.

                            We track the first time we said "I love you" to each other, which we decided would be when we considered ourselves in an official relationship (August 26th 2011). It was weird because neither of us ever was like "will you be my bf/gf?" all the sudden it just sort of happened.

                              All our anniversaries are pretty much on the same day lol. We don't remember the exact day we became a couple but its probably a day or so after all our firsts. So we just celebrate the first day or our first trip together since its our first kiss and maybe (probably not) the day we got together.
                              We met as friends years before so we don't know or celebrate that.
