Our 3rd anniversary came and gone without much fanfare. We never really celebrate. Actually, we not exactly sure which day to celebrate.
You see, we registered our union on 12th March 2008 (civil ceremony). Had our wedding only on 30th May 2008. In the eyes of law, we are officially husband & wife on 12th March 2008. But we only start living together after 30th May 2008. So, tell me, do we celebrate :
1) the day we register our marriage? or
2) the day our actually wedding took place?
Year in and year out, we faces the same dilemma. Not knowing which day to celebrate, so we usually just let it be or just let it pass with a simple 'Happy Anniversary!' :) Lols... If we are free, and we remember, we'll go for a nice dinner. But then again, we have nice dinner every other day too. How nice would it be nice enough for an anniversary celebration? Lols... :p
We celebrated our 1st Anniversary on 12th March cause we were in Bali and the husband got me a pair of delicately crafted silver earrings to mark the occasion. Our 2nd Anniversary was celebrated in advance to the date of 30th May cause we were in HongKong and the husband got me a really nice Swarovski pendant necklace from The Peak.
This year, we were both too busy to do anything. Lols. I was at work till 7pm followed by dance training at 8pm and got home only at 11pm, all drained. And he, not too good a day either. Our car decided to act up and he has to get the tow truck in to tow it back to the workshop and catch a cab back to office. :p
Anyway, things has been rather crazy around here lately since I started work. We'll probably find something to do the next couple of weeks to mark the occasion.
I guess, for us, we just celebrated our anniversaries by convenience. Hehehehe.... But then again, as long as we are happy and in love. Who cares about the anniversaries. ;) We have certainly come a long way...
What about you guys out there? Which day do you celebrate? What do you do usually to mark the occasion? Do you get a gift for your other half? What do you get? What is suitable as an anniversary gift? What happen when your other half forgotten about it? Share with me :)

Everyone is different. We try to celebrate on the day we were married. We usually go to the same place every year (it's special and pricier than our normal outing). We follow the anniversary gift list (google it) and it's fun to see what the other person comes up with. Last year it was leather. The year before was cotton. This year is fruit/flowers aka CHEAP! Lol.
That's interesting. Now i remember reading it somewhere. Good idea... ! :) Like Paper anniversary, rock, gold, silver and etc... thanks for sharing jamie.
We suppose to go back to the same place for our anniversary. But ended up getting bored cause we go any other day also..lols...so gave up the idea all together. Lols
congrats!
den and i have been married for exactly 9 years and 10 months as i write now. i reckon everyday is an anniversary of its own. everyday is worth its celebration:D
no biggie fanfare and if at all we really celebrate, its also out of convenience.
Too cute! I would say celebrate both dates! I love gifts so why not!
Happy 3rd anniversary to you both! I also say celebrate both days! :)
I celebrate on my civil ceremony day. So far both of us remember this day every year. We do not give each other gifts because we do not want to increase our belongings, we just brainstorm to do something different from what we normally do to mark the day.
