Today I got my period and then later on I had a long cry. I have a good husband.
Except,
Do you think the five-year anniversary of our first date should be commemorated? I do, he don’t. He says he’d rather celebrate the wedding anniversaries instead.
Five years though! It’s a big deal to me, I dunno. Maybe I am overdoing it.
I am emotional today though.
WAH
I agree, hormones rather that sentiment. Maybe the day of your engagement, but the wedding surpasses the first date, at least for commemoration. I sorry you got your period. Love, Mom
i cry sometimes, and i’m not even trying…
so yes, we acknowledge our first date anniversary (except we really don’t have one. it’s more like the day karen went from friend to live-in mistress)
we dont do gifts or anything, we just look all googlyeyed at each other all day.
Hmm.. It’s really up to the person which is more important.. I’d have to rank weddings above first dates, but a nod to the first date is important if it’s important to the other.
You could do something like make a big dooshy meal like I did the other night ( http://krabumple.livejournal.com/527417.html ) and start to train the boy… yanno, men are trainable. srsly fer reals.
without a first date there would be no wedding!
but with us, our dating anniversary is also exactly to the day 6 months apart from our wedding anniversary so it’s a nice halfway point to go have a nice dinner and get each other a little something. nothing major just something we know the other wants or we both want. i like to do both as otherwise we have nothing much going on in the gap between squire’s b-day in february and mine in october then the anniversary in november.
just my two cents!
and, i too am sorry about the news. now that we are settled i’m probably going to go to a doctor. ugh.
we celebrate dateaversary and our anniversary. so i say go for it.
xo
I don’t see why not! Some people celebrate on the same day every MONTH. I mean, just with a date or something. I think that’s sweet, though it does require a lot more effort.
We both know the date of our first in person encounter, having met on the internet and all, so it is something I usually mark on the calendar, and we usually touch on the topic that day, at some point… I think some years I feel more sentimental about it than others. Ours will be nine years in March. I do agree hormones egged you on and yet, it does not take away from how you felt.
*Hug*
I think once you get married, the wedding date should be celebrated, not the first date.
Kind of like how couples celebrate their MONTHLY anniversary, till they hit the one-year and should start doing annual celebrations?
Or new parents, who celebrate their child’s progress on a monthly basis (turned 1 month! 2 months! 3 months!) until they turn 1 year old, and then should progress at a yearly basis…
