datingaversaries and anniversaries....

[megfashion]

hehe, no, im not getting married.... yet.... ()

but its been on my mind, and wondered what you all thought....


after getting married, do you still celebrate the day you started dating?

for the SO and i, we would have been going out about 10 years before we can get married (well, maximum, it could be after just 5 years...) so the "datingaversarie" would hold some significance, and i dont know if i can just forget that and go back to "yay one year of being married" after "yay 7 years of dating!" (that came out wrong, but ive just woken up....)

what do you think? do you still celebrate the anniversary of dating as well as marriage?


thanks for your thoughts

We don't have a datingversary, we celebrate the day we met. I think that if we get married that would be the only real anniversary we celebrate but I think that I would never forget the date we met and maybe make a small note of it each year but we'd save any real celebrating for our wedding anniversary.

We don't celebrate our anniversaries either way to be honest.
But,... I notice both our anniversary for the day we started dating and the day we got married.
Both of the are actually equally important to me.

We don't really celebrate any date. We recognize how long we've been living together and how long we've known each other. I'm not sure if we'll celebrate either of those events or not because we haven't been living together for a year yet. And also this year we forgot about our "meeting each other" anniversary... hehe

So I assume if we get married it'll just be wedding date. Cuz really, we're bad at remembering this stuff!!!

Yep. Our datingaversarie (December 9th) and anniversary (June 11th) are about six months apart in the calendar year, it works out to "celebrate" them both. Can't say we always will, but I'd like to at least acknowledge the datingaversarie in passing.

we celebrate the day we messaged (May 25th) so will be 3 years next may. And I like celebrating it, seeing how long we been together. Lol i don't wanna give it up either... lol idk, maybe if he's willing to be emotional and corny with me on both anniversaries, we can do both this one and our wedding one. A extra day to be extra loving, whats wrong with that?

[Madge]

When we are married I don't think my SO would be keen on celebrating the day we met and the day we got married..he is already not keen on valentines day so I don't think he would be keen for an extra day to remember

I am like snow_girl I think the day we get married will be the day we celebrate but I will always remember the day we met and make a note of it.

hehe. sounds like a good idea.... celebrating the wedding but just making a note of the fact there is a datingaversary....

I can't even remember off the top of my head the day we met!? :/... I think I could work it out if I had a calender infront of me.

That said, me and my SO we always celebrate the day we started properly 'dating' it means a lot to us to know how long we have been together But if we get married, I think we would also celebrate that day too

We've talked a lot about this. I want to still celebrate our first-meeting/becomming official/whatever anniversary. But Obi thinks it would be weird to have two once we are married. I have such a strong affection for that date though, so I suspect there will be no gifts, but there will always be a nice dinner and maybe a card.

well I hope after we're married we'll celebrate the day we started dating.

We had our first visit exactly a year into the relationship, so in my ideal world, I would like to get married in December too and just remember one date. But, a winter wedding doesn't sound appealing to me, so unless we get married/sign papers in Singapore...

(when I write about these wedding things, I sometimes secretly hope he still browses these messages boards occasionally and see these posts). (;

I thought about it as well. So I want to get married on the 27 of december, the day we first saw each other in person and started dating, or 26 of january, the day he asked me to be his girlfriend, because both those dates are important for me. so i would still be saying something like: "exactly 4 years we are together, and 1 of those years being of marriage" or something like that.

We dont celebrate the day we met just the anniversary since we didn't date before becoming official. And we did became bf/gf after knowing each other for 2 weeks. But as far as marriage i would just celebrate the wedding date which to me becomes more important than dating/anniversary date.

[leonsfangirl]

My SO and I are terrible for dates, so we will more than likely just celebrate our wedding anniversary and thats it and we might mark the day we met as it was 1000's to 1 meeting and it changed us both in so many ways, would be a shame to let it go by unnoticed.
