[i][b]We only have two more days and my boyfriend and I will celebrate our 2nd year anniversary as live-in partners.I have plans long time ago but now that we are in a tight budget and all...I decide to probably cook dinner for him and just celebrate it at home. Do I expect a gift?Of course "yes" but sad to say I know how much he received last payday and again we are on a tight budget so I guess I'll just wait for next year....I already bought a gift for him.Since I am already guessing that we can't have dinner at a fancy restaurant...do you think McDonald's delivery would be fine?...A simple dinner will be nice. Do you still celebrate your anniversary?[/b][/i]

Hi pinks, yes my fiance and I have do celebrate our anniversary every year. We make it a point to do something special or go to a place that we haven't been to before. We also celebrate our "monthsaries" and we do that by eating outside or doing something simple. My fiance and I are both hopeless romantics that's why we both have the same outlook in love and life. Haha. We've been together for four years and a half years... and by December of next year, we'll be making a different celebration.. our marriage.

We also celebrate "monthsaries" and we just eat at fast food or treat ourselves at yellowcab or at chef d'angelo.Well sis it depends on the budget.we just make it a point that if it's our monthsary we are at the mall....eating...we love to eat.As a matter of fact we are eating dinner right now and he cooked spicy buttered prawns...OMG girl...it's so delicious.knowing that he was just learning how to cook.I am gaining weight already.And I used to be the best cook here at home,now he admit it...men are really a good chefs.

Yes, we do celebrate our marriage anniversary. In fact, we look forward to it months before it is. We go out, have dinner, watch movies and paint to town red.

That's sweet.I normally do that esp. if I miss giving a gift on a special day.I actually bought my boyfriend just a polo shirt.I planned to give him more than that but we are in a tight budget and I hope he will understand.

anniversary is a celebration worth waiting for in a year. it doesnt mean spending much or giving gifts, it is more on the thought of remembering the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

Probably I got used to celebrating anniversaries with gifts before from my past relationships.But now I'll just prepare a simple dinner and play our song to reminisce the time when we first met.

We do but we just rather stay home celebrate it simple and hug the whole day hahaha! As long that love is in the air,it will still be that special. I'll cook her favorite food,music that reminds us were we started and until now,and will dance without lights on,and with a simple chocolate in my pocket to give her. I think what is important is the thought of celebrating it. Any way their still a lot of anniversaries thAt we will spend together,and to treasure it a lifetime. Have a nice evening!God bless!

[i][b]That's sweet n30wing. We just had our dinner and he was the one who prepared our dinner.He cooked butter prawns with oyster sauce.It's really delicious.Now I agree to some men..some of my male friends told me that men are good chefs.My boyfriend just started learning how to cook and so far..he improved a lot.Even if I am allergic to seafoods OMG I can't help but eat a lot of it tonight. Two days from now we will celebrate our anniversary and I will be one to surprise him with a delicious dinner.Good for me that I arrive home 2 hours earlier than him.SO i still have time to prepare.Thanks for the reply.[/b][/i]

You might think it's a bit over the top but my boyfriend and I celebrate Monthsary and Anniversary...we just love each other. But it doesn't really mean that we have to give each other gifts all the time we're actually contented on just spending the day together sitting side by side...watching the sunset.

We are 3 years and a half with my boyfriend now. Yes we always celebrate our anniversary. I dont cook because i dont know how to cook too bad. If i will try i might get bad comment to him instead of happy anniversary we will be quarreling haha.. So every anniversary we had we will just go to the restaurant and eat happily there. After then we will watch movie in the cinema. We both are always saving for that special day we had.

Too bad we don't have any savings for our anniversary.WE were actually joking that we will just call McDonald's and have food delivered here in our house.But also celebrate our monthsaries so it's alright.The only sad part is that I was expecting a different celebration and something special on our anniversary but I guess we will just have a simple dinner and be intimate to each other.

Yes. Its doesnt matter anyway as long as you are together on that special day you had. Cherish it so much and make it a memorable one.

Yes, we do celebrate our anniversary every year. But it doesn't have to be expensive or anything. We just go out have some dinner and do something special like watch a concert or movie. But since we had our daughter, we were not able to celebrate this year, not the way we wanted to at least. As for the gifts, we decided not to give any this year because we had other priorities. Baby's need first.

Girl it's okay if you seldom celebrate outside.We can actually be creative.WE can have it home.I guess two days from now..I have to prepare what food to serve for dinner..I don't need to be sad bec.we can still make it special at home.I just regret it that I wasn't able to save for our anniversary.With the tight budget nowadays we have to set our priorities and that where my boyfriend is good at with regard to saving and setting priorities where we should spend our money.

belated happy anniversary to you and your guy! My boyfriend and i celebrated our first year anniversary last October 1.Good thing it was a holiday so we were able to spent the whole day together.We went out and ate at pizza hut.Though we had my youngest brother with us because i need to accompany him somewhere(talk about multi-tasking..lol).We then went to my parents house and just took the day off and rest together.The rest of the day was spent with my 1-year old cute niece that i had to look afer.We just pretended to be my niece's mom and dad and just practically enjoyed the day. Anniversaries are occasions that we should not forget.It should be always kept in our hearts.

I wish I had a partner right now =(. But since I am such a busy person I can't. Also because I haven't found someone, and the last person I met and wanted to have a serious relationship with, just stopped talking to me so...yeah left me heartbroken _. Anyways, life goes on and I am happy you are one of those lucky couples that actually enjoy being together and go out. Even if it's something simple, make it special. Make it feel special yourselves; you two being together, thats already something special =). Just think positive and be optimistic xD!

Yes actually we'll be celebrating our third year this September 22. And I'm kinda excited and anxious on how to surprise her or just simply make her feel extra happy on that day. I'm planning to have a dinner date with her at an Italian restaurant we went on our first anniversary. We missed the place and we haven't been back since our first anniversary. So anyway goodluck to both of us. And I'm planning to give her a lomo camera as a gift. Actually It's a cmeha 35 Russina lomo. Hope she will like it and I'm also planning to give her three dozens of assorted roses. Anyways I think I will spend atleast $100 on that day. Ouch! But I'm sure it will be a great day for both of us.

[i][b]Well at least you will not celebrate it at home.The thought of going out to a different place is already a great gesture from your boyfriend at least out from the normal location. How about giving yourself as a gift for him? an intense and very intimate moment with him will be good though.[/b][/i]

hmm..yeah me 2..i want to celebrate our anniversary..but then im so faraway from her..maybe when i get back to my home..maybe we can celebrate it..

[i][b]That's life resurrection04. Sometimes when we love someone we have to sacrifice.That's another reason why my boyfriend and I stay together and rented an apartment bec. we don't want to be apart from each other. But don't worry darling.As long as you remain faithful to your partner and give your partner a regular call that will suffice already.It's how you remember your partner.[/b][/i]
