Married Folk: Do you celebrate multiple anniversaries?

Only the wedding anniversary. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that most people are the same way mostly because guys aren’t typically good at remembering dates or buying gifts. 1 is better than 2+ and we’ve already got to remember Mother’s Day, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, etc…

My ex and I had first date anniversary dinners out every year in addition to our wedding anniversary. Interestingly enough, it was he who remembered it and wanted to celebrate it. My current husband and I just do the wedding anniversary.

Just the wedding anniversary. I disagree with @Sakata, most loving husbands that I know have no problem remembering their anniversary or their wife’s birthday.

We celebrate our wedding anniversary (thirteen years).
We, at least, try to acknowledge our dating anniversary (twenty-one years). Although it falls awfully close to my wife’s birthday, so it never seems to work out that we cover both.

@Sakata: I’m a guy and I never forget important dates regarding my wife. It’s everyone else’s birthdays/anniversaries I can never remember.

Celebrating multiple days is a good idea for guys… It means you remember more than just the day you got legally married. heh.. I think most women would appreciate that.. correct me if I’m wrong

Only wedding anniversary.

Yes…Here goes:

We celebrate the day (we made the date up) that we started “going steady”

We celebrate our wedding anniversary every year (or at least pretend to)

We do something SPECIAL for our actual wedding anniversary…which only arrives every four years

So far we’ve only had one real wedding anniversary (the fourth year one) and we spent the weekend in Chicago. We have a couple more years to plan the next one, so it should be fun!

Only the wedding anniversary. And not this year because of the economy.

I’m not married, but I did celebrate our dating anniversary for the first year or two.

Then I forgot what the exact date was… and it rolled around last year with no fanfare whatsoever. Surprisingly enough, it felt good not doing anything. So I’m keeping with that tradition for the time being.

Wedding anniversary only. We’re too lazy to do anything else.

Anniversary when we remember. There have been years when we’ve looked at each other and said, “hey, our anniversary was on Tuesday.”
Most years we remember in some way but nothing elaborate for the most part.
This year is #25, so we are trying to think of something fun to do or a way to celebrate.

This is where I am just not good with dates. My husband and I have a running joke about checking our photo album for the date of the wedding. Neither of us could keep up with all of those dates!

no

His birthday (so I can buy him his birthday suit each year), Pearl Harbor Day (which should have been our anniversary), and our actual wedding anniversary, when we remember. This year is number 20 for me and 34 for him (he was a widower when we met). His ring broke and mine disappeared, so we are getting new wedding rings this year.

We’ve only been married a year and a half, so we’re still looking for ways (besides the obvious, thanks) to celebrate the wedding anniversary.

However, we still celebrate the “first date” anniversary every year by going back to the same Chinese restaurant that we went for our first date. The best part is that now, I get to go home with him. ;)

Oh we streamlined that nonsense…

We first started going steady on the 4th of July, so we planned our wedding for the same day. We’ll have our first double anniversary plus holiday this year, and the fireworks will be a really good reminder should either one of us get close to forgetting.

That’s awesomesauce, @missafantastico!
