Wedding Anniversaries

[sherrardk]

Do you 'celebrate' your wedding anniversary?

[woofgang]

yes we always did.

[Mosaic]

No - we seldom remember it, despite having been married for decades

[EcclesCake]

Not really, we generally go out for a meal, but didn't really bother this year. As far as presents go because it is a joint event we tend to buy something for the house or garden.

This years present is embarrassingly dull!

[sherrardk]

I don't ever recall celebrating ours, not that it's a problem (however, I have a complete (internal) hissy fit if my birthday gets forgotten).

[Psybbo]

It became an issue with us when I queried who WA was on OH's list of birthdays, so I've never been allowed to forget it, but as Eccles said just going out for a meal.

[Maydup]

We go out for a meal but if it clashes with something else we don't fret. No cards or pressies, nor have I ever sent anyone else a WA card or pressie. actually not true, I have sent a golden card once I think.

[pusskin]

We never celebrate ours, but I always remember the day.
This year I invested in a chinese take away, haha.

[Sparkles62]

We go for a meal,
we don't do cards or presents, but but then we don't do birthday or christmas presents either,
we use the money that would have spent on presents and we go off to Germany on a river cruise just after christmas each year.

We don't really bother with our wedding anniversary, in fact I very nearly forgot it this year... We do like to mark the anniversary of when we got together though. Nothing fancy, usually just a conversation along the lines of "x years together then?" "did you think all those years ago..." etc etc.

I'm like you sher, I do like a fuss for birthdays. If Mr P were to forget mine there would be a riot.

And I couldn't give a fig about Valentines day (although I will admit to liking a card).

[Jeza]

In our early years together we always bought cards and presents. Haven't done that for over 20 years. Christmas, Birthday, Anniversaries or Valentines. As long as we say Happy whatever day it is, it's good enough for me.

[giveup]

Yes,happily and gratefully for marrying the best man in the world.

[giveup]

after 25 years

[beegeebee]

After 58 years still have't plucked up courage to miss one

[gness]

I never remembered mine and I hated.....hated the look on MrG's face when he came into the kitchen with his hands behind his back! Oh that sneaky smile!!!
I did remember once...bounced up and down on the bed to wake him...and.. ...I was four sodding days early...:-( x

I don't have a wedding anniversary. My wife does apparently.

[jacklee]

Always did - usually a family party - until recent years when my wife has not been very well.
Sadly we were unable to get her out of the nursing home for a trip to our daughters as she was taken ill at lunchtime on the very day - July 12th - our 66th anniversary.
Things worsened and my sweetheart passed away on Monday 22nd.
Tough to take when your 90 - but I have so many wonderful memories.
So, all you youngsters, cherish your partner.
Bless you all.

[chrisgel]

So sorry to hear that Jack.

[lady-janine]
