Do You Celebrate the Anniversary of the Engagement, or the One You Met?

I knew there was a good reason I proposed on the anniversary of meeting - makes like much simpler

Well, it seems to me that it isn't really important. Why not celebrate all three? The anniversary of the day you two met, the anniversary of the day he proposed, the anniversary of the day you got married? One can be more important than another, if that's how you feel about it. But it would be nice to do something special for all three days.

We still acknowledge our "going out" anniversary, so not the day we met, but when we i suppose became a couple. i can't say i've ever known anyone have their engagement day as their anniversary.

We will always celebrate the date that we first got together because that feels like the most significant date - there would be no engagement or wedding anniversary if that hadn't happened first! Also, we haven't chosen our wedding date yet but by the time we get married, we are likely to have been together for ten years so it would feel weird to stop celebrating the date we have been celebrating every year for so long. Hopefully we'll get married on our ten year anniversary and then, in future, we can celebrate both at once.

Out of curiosity, I noticed a lot of posters have said they celebrate the day they met and am wondering if, for some, that's a different day to the day they became a couple, so celebrating the anniversary of how long they've known each other rather than how long they've been together. Not that it matters, of course. In response to the original poster, I would say that it's entirely up to you. There's no set rule on what day you should celebrate (and even if there was, who cares!) so you should celebrate whichever date you choose to.

I genuinely can't remember meeting my other half (he remembers it, and says he thought I was a spoilt brat - he's right!) we were friends for a good few years before we became a 'couple' and that didn't happen on one day either, it sort of snuck up on us. As with the engagement (he called me his wife accidentally the day after our first official date as a couple...) although we have the day he gave me the ring, I can't remember when that was... because we'd already been planning the wedding by then. So, um, we'll celebrate the wedding because it's going to be our first very definite relationship milestone.




You guys really wanted to know all that didn't you. Ah the follies of marrying one of your best friends ;-D

We started dating, got engaged and married on the same date, different years of course :rotfl:

When it comes to this year I'm guessing we would celebrate nine years of being together not one year of marriage though .
