What did you do for your first wedding anniversary?

Awwww . . . happy first anniversary to you! I read your discussion headline and I was thinking - eek - I don't remember and it was only like 7 years ago! My hubby and I have been together for a long time - nearly 25 years - and it's funny how we still make a big deal out of our dating anniversary - but not so much the wedding anniversary - ha ha. We are normally good about celebrating and such . . . but in recent years since we started a family, we've been ok with having a quiet evening at home and kickin' it with the kiddies! And now that we're on a budget - we just forget about the gifts and just have a nice dinner, even if it's to go. Ya know, we still have to go to our official honeymoon one of these years!

It was such a long time ago that i really cant remember! Maybe you could have a moonlight picnic? Depending on your current weather, you could go somewhere quiet or, stay in and put a blanket on your lounge floor and let the moonlight (or streetlight) beam in (or failing that, make it a candlelit picnic)... lots of finger foods, chocolate mousse and champagne Whatever you choose... Congratulations on your first anniversary and may you have many more wonderful, happy years together.

We had a simple celebration. We attended a morning mass. Then proceeded to a Known Hotel in the City. We had a lunch buffet. It was a great lunch and we had enjoyed the company of each other. You can do the same. Have a dinner or lunch together in a good restaurant/hotel. You can also have an out of town trip.

You could bake, or buy him a cake to celebrate. I hardly remember our first anniversary.. pretty sad, guess it wasn't that special. Our 7th anniversary is this Friday. We'll probably go out to dinner on Saturday (he works till 9 on Friday). Our anniversaries usually are not at all special because a week later is my birthday, and my oldest son's birthday (he's 13 next week) and of course Mother's Day is thrown in there somewhere. So I'm lucky if I get 1 gift to cover all 3 of my holidays. We will usually try to go out sometime in May to celebrate.. but unfortunately my son's birthday trumps all the other holidays, and it will be the same again this year. The only reason we'll actually be going out this weekend is because hubby's father is giving us money and offering to babysit. And yes, it snuck up on us too! Don't tell my son, but I think we'll be getting him a PS3 for his birthday.. brand new from hubby's work. Thankfully paying for that is easy, they'll take 12 payments directly from hubby's pay before cutting his check.. makes it nice and easy for us! Perhaps we can get our friends to give my son a game for it.

My husband and I are going to celebrate our first anniversary in two weeks. We plan on getting up really early and go somewhere to watch the sunrise. We are going to bring coffee and sandwishes so that we can have breakfast at a beautiful place close to the sea. When we get back home my parents and my mother-in-law are coming over, and we are going to have coffee and cake. In the evening my husband and I are probably going to have dinner at a restaurant, but we have decided that yet.

i do not know you have to make it the best.

Our anniversary is in January and so it is always cold and nasty outside. I believe that for our first anniversary we went to dinner and then we spent the weekend in a hotel. These days we usually do not do much to celebrate and I really don't mind. I would try to plan something special, maybe a candle light dinner and a special dessert would make it better than not celebrating at all.

hi jesssp oh my that was way in 1958 and I was about two months pregnant so I am not sure just how we celebrated as I had severe morning sickness with my first pregnancy which must have thrown a damper on celebrating too. I think my husband drove out to this flower farm with me and we saw acres and acres of blooming stock, oh it smelled just heavenly too. He bought a huge armful of stock and some fern and that was my gift, a lovely gift, and I think we ate my favorite ice cream which was and still is rocky road. I could keep that down for some reason so I am sure we ate that . the house was full of vases of stock so all the rooms smelled so delicious. He knew how much i loved perfumy flowers and we had night blooming jasmine vines under our bedroom window to perfume the air, lovely too.

Only think I remember is that we took the frozen wedding cake out of the freezer and ate it. I seem to recall we had relatives over...

my husband surprised me with a really heavy bouquet of flowers, then spent te whole day together with our firstborn that was only a few months old. we had a really nice dinner after.

Nothing special.We stayed at home,playing the computer games and out for dinner.

at my first wedding anniversary i was at the hospital !!!!! i was sick, i felt dizzy with stomach ache and doing a lot of vomit. At the second we had arranged to travel to Dubai, the night of the anniversary we had a reservation at burj al arab but two days before the arrival we realized that i was pregnant. so the trip was cancelled. Finally at that night we had a dinner at our favorite restaurant. The third is coming and we will celebrate with our baby.
