Wedding Anniversary Date

My parents were legally married just over a month before their “wedding” - whilst their marriage certificate has the legal date on it, they always celebrate their anniversary on the date of the or wedding day. It was a personal choice for them, but that date meant more to them than the official ceremony.

View quoted message Thanks so much for replying! That was exactly my thinking, we're still making a big day of it at the registry office but will celebrate properly with family and friends later so I'd consider that our 'real wedding'.

We had to postpone our wedding for three weeks due to the lockdown, and we've decided we're going to celebrate our anniversary on what SHOULD have been our wedding day - we don't see why Covid gets to dictate when we celebrate our anniversary for the rest of our lives!!!

So you pick whichever day you want to as your anniversary. Or just celebrate both (cake twice? sounds like a plan!)

View quoted message That's such a shame for you but good on you, hope you had an incredible day! Double helpings of cake sounds perfect! Thanks so much for replying!

We are doing the same as we have 180 guests we just can't make smaller for the day so to include everyone we are having a blessing next at our wedding venue next June and street food etc around 4pm instead of a sit down meal, so we have decided to get married few days before our wedding event as we just can't afford £1000 for the set up and legal bits at the venue, but can afford the registry office - yet we are classing the day with all our Friends and Family as to us this is our wedding day wearing my wedding dress and this will be the day we celebrate..I do understand what you mean as at first I had this question but I think having the people you love and care about and we will lo baan at photos of the day etc this will be are anniversary..hope you work it out Xx

Thanks so much, ooh a Disney wedding sounds incredible! I haven't thought too much about it yet but I'm sure we'll have some subtle Disney touches in there (and probably Star Wars- my fiancé loves it haha). Let me know if you have any ideas so far! Have a magical day!
