Wel friends, yesterday was my wedding anniversary and I celebrated in a grand manner.
I had posted a discussion on mylot asking mylotters about their views on what should I be buying as a gift for my wife.
I am thankful to all those who had given very nice suggestions for buying a gift.
I finally ended up buying a set of diamond earrings for my wife. She was very much excited on receiving the gift.
Actually, it is the first time that I have gifted a diamond to my wife and she was least expecting of such a kind of gift.
She gifted me a very nice shirt, which I too liked very much.
I had taken a leave yesterday so that I could be able to spend time with my wife. We had decided that we would not go out anywhere and would spend the entire day together in the house.
Our kitchen was shut off for the day yesterday and we ordered breakfast/lunch/dinner from restaurant.
For the next anniversary, I have a plan to celebrate it at some beach resort. And this would be the surprise to my wife for our next anniversary.
How do you celebrate your anniversary?

Belated Happy Anniversary! You sound like a very sweet man. I am not married but I live with my boyfriend. We celebrate our "anniversary" of the day we started living together. Usually we either go out for dinner or just have a special dinner at home. We don't usually exchange gifts because it is not a true anniversary.

Congratulations on your first year together! Sounds like you had a great time! Diamonds are a special gift to give someone, especially for the first time - something which your wife can keep forever as a token of your love for her! I am not married, I have been with my fiance for almost 3 years now. On the anniversary of first meeting eachother, he got me a diamond necklace, and I was so surprised! Unfortunately we couldn't celebrate in as much style as you, since we are both students, but instead he cooked for me, which was a romantic evening.
I think your plan for a holiday is a lovely idea for your next anniversary - your wife will be very surprised with that! My sister got a surprise break for her first anniversary - her husband took her to New York for the weekend, where they went on helicopter rides and things. It's nice to take some time away with the one you love, so you can forget all about the stresses of everyday life and just concentrate on eachother. I wish you many years of happiness together :o)

wow! that's so sweet of you! congratulations on your anniversary and wishing you more anniversaries to share!
last april we had our first year anniversary too. I thought we could squeeze a 2 or 3 days off on our schedule but that became so impossible, but of course It didn't ruin our celebrations, we went to nearby hotel and just spent a night together,ordered some good foods and pampered ourselves! How I wish it's always anniversaries!!!LOL

Congratulations on your anniversary. My wife and I celebrate our always quietly - that is the way we like it. We like to drive out to a spiritual place so that we can tune into the atmosphere. One of our favorite places is Glastonbury which is a 2 hour drive away from where we live.

Our first anniversary we went away to a resort and 9 months later we had our son, after that anniversaries have been a family thing. We go out with our son and enjoy a nice dinner then come home and live life as parents do. Someday we may get to go away again but not anytime soon. One of the problems with our anniversary is it is on February 14 so getting a reservation is hard and going away expensive.

It sounds like you did a very good job celebrating with your wife. You must have had a good time if you are already planning for next year. We pretty traditionally go out to eat at a very special place, with special friends. It is about an hour from our home. Next year, however, is our tenth anniversary and I am hoping that we will be able to do something more. It will depend on finances, and how many jobs we are working as well. Our anniversary is in March.

Oh wow, that is nice. Congratulations, by the way. We usually go out for dinner and that's all we do. This year we didn't even do that. My mom has had several health problems and she lives with us. I think we may have went out for dinner and took her, lol. I'm not even sure. Maybe you should talk to my husband and give him some ideas, lol.

Wow! Congratulations on your wedding anniversery. Sounds as if you and your spouse had a wonderful day. And, what a fantastic gift! How romantic! I am sure she will treasure those diamonds forever. I wish my husband would buy something like that for me. Of course, I would have had a near fatal heart attack when I saw the price tag. I am always encouraging him to be frugal and save money for our daughter. We're parents, so that's where most of our money goes now. We don't mind.
I am sure your wife will love the beach idea. When my husband and I first moved to our current town, we visited the beach and watched the sun set. It was so romantic, and apparently a lucky charm because a few months later we got pregnant! Best of luck and best wishes for happiness on your upcoming year.
Chat with you soon. Be well. And, be prosperous.
