Re: Anniversaries/dates

  • 1) Do you celebrate dating anniversaries? Well, we make note of our anniversary. It generally falls right in the middle of finals for me, and we live a plane flight away from each other, so last year we weren't able to be together for our anniversary, and we won't this year either because I have two papers due that day and I'm taking my first comprehensive two days later. But we will probably have dinner via webcam. 2) Do you consider it important to choose a wedding date that has a "special meaning"? Sorta. Our wedding date doesn't have any prior meaning for us, but FI's lucky number is 13 so when we saw that there was a Saturday the 13th in August 2011, we decided to go for it.

    Our Story MAJORLY UPDATED 8/6/09
    Wouldn't it be nice to live together in the kind of world where we belong?
  • 1) We celebrated our dating anniversary every year. We actually celebrated our first 6-month anniversary back in the day, too, but we were 16 so it wasn't so weird back then haha.2) We didn't choose a wedding date with special meaning. Our first pick, May 21 2010, was the only workable Friday in May (I had bridesmaids in college so early May is finals time) that didn't fall on my parents' anniversary. When I got pregnant and we had to move the date up to this August, 8/7/09 was the only date all our vendors had available, so we went with that one. I do like that in DD/MM/YY format though, it's 07/08/09. =)
  • We actually celebrated our first 6-month anniversary back in the day, too, but we were 16 so it wasn't so weird back then haha.My friend's boyfriend had never dated anyone for more than 2 months, so they used to do month anniversaries. Once they got to 7 or 8, he decided it was lame. He was 26 or so.

  • 1) I only remember it because it was the day after Halloween.  So we will celebrate it for the second (and probably last) time this year.2) No the date will become important as it's our wedding date.

  • 1) We don't exactly when ours is. We tried to figure it out, but we both had a lot going on in our lives and trying to figure it out in relation to others things got messy. 2) We chose our wedding date because it was the anniversary of the first "I love you." It's also his birthday. It'll be fun to figure out (for me) how to make each special.

  • 1)  No.. We have a general idea when we got together - end of October  (we had a one night stand that never ended), but we do not know the exact date.  2) Nope. We wanted a September wedding because I have the whole month off and DH can get time off.  The venue only had 2 weekends open and we picked the one that gave us the most honeymoon time (aka the first of the month)  






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • No and No. I don't know when we became official. I do know when we started fuucking, though....Ditto, word for word.
    Leo says hi. He's...special.

    Planning
  • 1.  we say, 'hey, did you know it's been X years today? lets go to dinner'.  Just an excuse to go out and have a really good excuse to have some fun.2.  no, we picked a date that worked for our insane work/school schedules.  its really the only date that worked until summer - and there was no way i wanted to wait that long.
  • We dont celebrate the date we starting dating.  It was sometime in November but don't know the actual date.  We did get engaged in November also.  The date we picked for our wedding was not special to us before the wedding...We did meet, and become friends in April and thats the month we ended up getting married in.  It just happened that way we didn't plan it like that.
  • No and No.My best friend just mentioned the other day that she wondered if her H would remember it was their dating anniversary.  They've been married 4 years, together for 10 years.  I said "do you guys celebrate your dating anniversary?" and she said if you ask her, yes, if you ask him, probably not.  I secretly thought that expecting her H to remember their dating anniversary when you've been married 4 years and have a 1 and a half year old was just stupid.  I didn't tell her that though.
