Monday will be 6 years for us.... DH says that it doesnt matter now and that we have a new anniv, but I still want to go out to dinner and at least say 'happy 6 year dating anniv!!'
As time passes we'll prob recognize it less and less, but I still like to acknowledge our former anniv.
Thoughts?

Re: Do you still recognize your dating anniv?
usually we'd go out for a nice dinner and give eachother a card - no gifts usually because my birthday comes 3 weeks before.
however, last year for our 5 year anniv i talked DH into a spur of the moment trip to vegas (our anniv is labor day weekend so it was a great time to go, and we booked 7 days in advance -- i paid for it bc he was short on $$$).
this year we're just going to sit in our apt, relax, finish settling in from our honeymoon and wedding stuff, and maybe do a nice dinner.

We usually try and do something nice. Last yr I dragged DH out to the beach for a picnic with friends. This yr, we're celebrating it a little earlier by going to the Ren Faire this weekend. It'll be 6 yrs for us September 15.

Re: Do you still recognize your dating anniv?
yes - this year we did. it took a LOT for us to get through our first year together - so we have always celebrated in small ways.
this year was year 6 for us too!
congrats!

because we were married at Niagara Falls on December 31st!
it was a secret except to a few friends knowing it! one of our BP was ordained and married us on the NY side of the falls. we have TWO marriage licenses. one for the 31st and one for the 20th.

We do and we dont. We will go out and do something but nothing as fancy as for the wedding.

Re: Do you still recognize your dating anniv?
This is strange but I think I want to do MORE for our dating anniversary than for our wedding anniversary. I just feel like January 16th was this awesome, spontaneous event that brought us together for life and even though the WEDDING is more important obviously, the date of January 12th has no meaning to me. It was just a date that we picked out on a calendar that was convenient for us and that's it. I have no connection to it. Maybe that will change with time but I just really would rather celebrate on the 16th. LOL I think too much!

Kind of. We don't get each other presents, but we do take it as an opportunity to go out for a nice dinner.
