It's our engagement anniversary...did he remember?

Does anyone expect to remember the anniversary of an engagement? I certainly don't, I doubt my parents do either. Do people celebrate it? Really? Sorry that you're disappointed, but I don't know anyone who would expect anything on that date.

My OH remembers, but only because it's 2 days after his mum's birthday. Bit of an odd thing to celebrate as a grown up. It's like doing a week-aversary when you're in school

ETA that's actually the only way I remember it!

Aww i wouldnt worry about it.

We went out for a meal on the 1st anniversary of our engagement...not to celebrate it but just to enjoy x

Nope, nor me!

I've just remembered we got engaged two years yesterday. But that's only because we got engaged the day after my friend's wedding and I was wishing her a belated happy anniversary.

Lol I certainly wouldn't expect him to remember once we're married! Remembering one date is hard enough. I just thought he'd remember as more a matter of reflection and "look what's happened since then" rather than a champagne and flowers type celebration!

I have no idea when we got engaged not even the month (and I was the one that got down on one knee ha) we do celebrate our anniversary of being together though 25th August

We've never had an anniversary. He couldn't tell you the month we met or got together!

No, nor could I. I could probably find out the month we met (as friends) since it was at a climbing/mountaineering group meet up. I have NO idea when we progressed from friends to more than that, or to actual partners. Don't really care - the end result is the same - we are husband and wife. And that date won't be forgotten!

Just out of interest does/will anyone still celebrate their engagement/got together anniversary after their wedding or does the wedding anniversary trump all others?

Wedding anniversary will trump all others. We won't celebrate our 'getting together' anniversary anymore.

We will replace our first date anniversary with our wedding anniversary, I'm sure I will still remember out first date one (it's the day after my sister wedding anniversary!) but certainly won't be expecting anything, but if he forgets the wedding date, well the only way forward would be divorce surely!!? ;-)

? ?

Same. H is pretty good with dates and I bet he could tell me what date we got engaged but I couldn't, it was Feb and that's about as much as I remember. We didn't celebrate it either.

For us, our wedding anniversary will trump all others (although ill also remember the dates of the others but just in a sentimental way rather than celebrating it)

For my friend, she celebrates her getting together, engagement and wedding. All a bit too much attention seeking for my liking but then that's her personality

My colleague does cards, presents and takes days off work to spend with his GF for their 'getting together' anniversary.

Odd.

We'll probably open some some champers on our engagement anniversary but that's because I'm a booze hound and any excuse for bubbles is good with me.

Since the proposal happened on my 30th birthday, he;s unlikely to forget!

BUT I get to have cake anyway

Our wedding anniversary date is exactly 6 months after our "getting together" anniversary date, so we remember both, but I think in future we'll only properly celebrate the wedding one. I never had an "engagement anniversary" as we got married in under a year. I'm still not exactly sure what date we got engaged as we were on holiday and days all blur together for me when I'm not working - I know it was somewhere between 25th-28th October!

Once i forgot the date when i proposed her and she reacted horribly ? . but from that day i am so good with the dates....really thankful of her.....

We're looking at getting married on our getting together anniversary ... It's taken me 3 years to get him to remember that date so I wouldn't want to confuse him :p x

I have no idea when we got engaged- it was summer sometime.. oh remembered the date we got together.. did i? nope now i do cos he's drummed it into me ?

Neither of us remember the date we got together or got engaged. Am I bothered about it? Nope.

We will this year still because it'll be half a decade. We probably won't make a big deal of getting together/engagement date it in the future but will always acknowledge it. My parents still remember their engagement date 35 years later!

I remember every memorable date because I have a freakish memory for things like that, despite not being able to remember what happened yesterday. H knows when we got together and when he proposed.

We don't celebrate as such but we do have a little "" 7 years ago today...." or "this time last year" and have a little aww moment but never any more than that!

It's nice to remember the day, but to celebrate it with a mwal/night out/champers is just a bit OTT.. it reminds me of being at school and going "he's been my boyfriend for 5 days, 6 hours and 13 minutes ?

I'm not sure either of us could remember the proposal date so don't plan to celebrate it. We celebrate our got together anniversary but imagine this will be trumped by the wedding anniversary once we are married x

Our wedding date will be the day after our got together date. So when we get married we will have been together 8 years and 1 day. But our wedding anniversary will be the only one we celebrate when the time comes!

We got engaged on our 1 year anniversary and are getting married on our 2 year anniversary so I wouldn't be impressed if he forgets the date!

I have no idea of that exact date we got engaged. I know it was around St Patrick's Day as we went to a party and got suitable drunk which is how we got engaged. Once you're married it wont matter that much.

I tried for 9 years to get H to celebrate our getting together date, but he didn't see it as a "real" anniversary so we (I) chose the day after our 10 year anniversary of getting together so he should never forget the 7th of the 7th - should he? ?

We got engaged on Christmas Day so always easy to remember!

The only reason i even remember our engagement anniversary date is because its was the day our kids got baptised! And the only reason i remember the date we got together is because its the 8/8/08 which is easy to remember

I doubt we'll celebrate our engagement anniversary as such, but there will be some celebration as when it comes around we will have been together 5 years exactly! We got engaged on our 4th anniversary (probably the only reason I'll ever remember the date we got engaged) and are planning to get married on our 6th anniversary. One date means he (and I!) shouldn't forget.
