My husband and i try to do something for our anniversary but there are times that we can't. Last year for our anniversary we were not even together. He was out of town working and i went out with his grandma and brother. the year before this past year the only thing we did was went to the olive garden to eat. I doubt that we even do anything this year. I keep telling him and my family that i do not want anyhting for my birthday or christmas or anything like that and I told him the other day that i was glad that we dont have any money so that he cant get me anything or get to go do anything for our anniversary. All i am hoping for is to just get to spend some time just me and him.

Well, that would really depend on what the anniversary is for. Usually anniversaries are celebrated with food. A nice meal and some social activity to commemorate the special occasion is the way to celebrate an anniversary. And depending on the budget at that time, we may or may not have a lavish celebration. Especially if the anniversary is with a loved one. Like your partner, you would want to make the celebration a small one. This is so that the both of you can spend some quality time together. That is what matters most.

Well actually my first wedding anniversary is coming up on 25th of this month so just one more day to go. My husband is out of city right now but he will be coming back tonight and he just phoned me and wished me already in advance but we have not planned what we are going to do. Since this is our first anniversary I am sure will do something exciting, will sit down tonight and make some plans. Usually my husband has a bad memory about remembering all these things like birthday's, anniversary's and all but I don't know how come he wished me two days prior,maybe he put some reminder in his cell because he didn't want me to scold him if he had forgotten it. So lets see how our first one will go, I am a excited about it.

I first remember the day it first happened. Take Marriage Anniversary. First of all I will go back to the memories of my marriage and see the video of my marriage how I and my wife was looking on that day and will listen to the running song of that very particular day. If my daughter is with us we will go out for a dinner and enjoy and celebrate. If we both are alone we will go out in the day first to the Religious place for prayer for well being of human kind and seeking forgiveness of the wrongs committed if any in innocence also for balance good health in life. Then sit back at home remembering old memories discussing, telling and listing each other and after dining enjoying night and sleep for the next year.

Many anniversaries, most especially birthdays, are celebrated with gifts or cards, cake and ice cream. Anniversaries are celebrated with gifts, too, (and sometimes cake and ice cream as well) although the husband and wife may sometimes take a special vacation to celebrate. Many anniversaries are commemorated with a special meal - we usually order food from a restaurant, and then eat it on disposable dishes so that no one has to spend time cleaning up afterwards!

If I have a special someone, I loved to celebrate our anniversary in a mountain park. I really love nature and I wanted to be in a place that I love with my special someone.

We typically don't spend money on presents for each other. We don't do surprises either. We do discuss something we might be interested in buying and give each other the go ahead to get it. We both enjoy the hunt and researching the best deal so that part of it is fun for us, so we tend to shop for ourselves. With that said, we don't really buy a lot for ourselves. This changed when we had kids. We tend to do for them first. This year for our anniversary we are going out to dinner to a really nice restaurant we've wanted to try. We do have a date night once each week. Sometimes it is dinner or a movie. Other times it is running errands or shopping at Sam's Club. It is more important to us to spend the time together then it is what we are doing. I realize this isn't great for some but it works for us. We enjoy it and are very dedicated to each other and our family. I think each couple needs to find what works best for them.

Well the most celebrated anniversary for us is my wedding anniversary. My hubby and I always look forward to that day and we always make sure we every celebration is a special one. No we do not invite any of our friends during wedding anniversary. It is not like a birthday celebration where we invite all friends and relatives. We believe wedding anniversary is something exclusive just for the two of us. We do celebrate it by spending special moments together in a special place. We would go on date in a romantic place and we make sure every minute of the day is spent romantically and sweetly.

My wife and me usually celebrate our anniversary by having a holiday to the same resort that we visit in our honey moon. The resort is at beach, not too far from my wife parents home. We spend our time by walking along the beach with our son, swimming at the pool or just relaxing in the room. The day is the most valuable day for us for the whole of the year.
