We don't really celebrate wedding anniveries in our house, sometimes cards are sent but not that often, just something we don't do in our house. we do make a big thing of birthdays etc, not not anniversies

Congratulations to your parents for their anniversary! Unfortunately my parents got divorced years ago. They were together for 6 years and separated for about 4 years before the divorce. Next month is my anniversary and we will be celebrating 22 years of marriage and our marriage is strong. I have never thought of divorce. As a matter of fact we had our marriage blessed in the church about 8 years ago. We are planning on going out of town for about 3 nights this year for our anniversary. I am really looking forward to it. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

My father is no more and even when he was alive they did not celebrate their wedding anniversary. We used to celebrate ours til a few years ago but somehow or the other we do not make a grand event of it nowadays.However, I wear a new saree and also make asweet dish at home.Earlier it was a case of going out to a restaurant or a good film or something. My parents-in-law celebrate their w edding anniversary [similar to what I had written for mine/just make a sweet dish or so]; however, this year it was their 60th wedding anniversary and we had a small gathering and had a lot of fun.

Our parents celebrate their wedding anniversary every year. My mom usually cook something special for lunch and have it with the family. Next year, they will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and they will be renewing their vows. We are organising a reception party after the renewal of vows in the church.

Wow, that's so sweet of you! I don't recall whether they celebrate their anniversary so, it is more likely that they don't. But, maybe next year, I will try to give them a gift on their anniv. Well, they've been together for 34 years now, and next year would be perfect at 35. Maybe I can get my brothers to help me throw a celebration for them. However, I don't think there is a need for them to renew their vows. Unless they want to.

Hello zsarhea! Belated happy wedding anniversary to your parents. My parents always celebrate their anniversary every year. They had just celebrated their anniversary last month. They went to the church on that day and attended the mass together. We may not be able to prepare a party on that day but i know it's a memorable day for both of them. I greeted them on their anniversary also and I'm always praying to God that their married life will continue to flourish until they'll grow old. I love my parents and I'm happy seeing them together as always. :-)

The bad thing about this is that my dad is a christian and my mom is catholic so when my brothers and me did their 25th anniversary, they didn't renew their vows, there was also no church so we just threw them a small party. It was small because we didn't prepare it in time and didn't ask for help (I don't know how we say it English but in Spanish is "padrinos." Unless its the same "godparents"), it was raining that whole day, and some of our family that helps us the most (family we grew up with), had problems with there mirage, one the girl had a boyfriend and she didn't care about anything but him (she was in love back then). We were decorating the house while people came, 7pm and still trying to fix things. It pretty much was a disaster. Now we are making it up and throwing them another party for their 30th. We also want to throw them another party because since the gold decoration is for their 50th, we cannot be able to do that. My dad is 15 years older than my mom and well when they hit their 50th my dad well....I don't want to say it....

On October 1st, my parents-in-law celebrated their gold anniversary in a nice restaurant hosted by their children. It was a most happy moment in their life that day. My wife and children attended their anniversary together with all of her siblings, but I am sorry that I could not join them for the anniversary as I am working far away from them. As to my own parents, they did not celebrate their gold wedding anniversary. They spent that day as usual, but they are living happily together. When their diamond wedding anniversary comes, I am sure to have my siblings celebrate it for our parents to make them happy and make us children happy as well. Thank you for the nice discussion, zsarhea. Have a good day.

My parents just turned 32years married last February and sadly we didn't really have enough money to go celebrating it big-time. I wished we could do all the marriage vows and such. They're such a cute couple, until now they still talk to each other and laugh without us understanding why. They still eat together, hold hands, kiss, and consult each other. Yes there are rough times, but you could certainly see the teamwork between the two of them. They are the perfect example of how a married couple should be! and I wish someday I could have that type of love - a love that doesn't see an end but sees everything as forever. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

Hi, My parents take a trip every year to celebrate their anniversary. Last week, they went on their anniversary trip. My mom and stepdad just celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary. They are a wonderful couple.

Yes, of course they celebrate their anniversary... Since it is just once a year, and it is such a milestone to even reach another year.. We either eat out or just stay at home, and they become all lovey dovey.

Belated happy anniversary to your parents Zsarhea I am glad that they reached that far and more years together for them. My parents will also celebrate their 28th year anniversary just like yours this November 26 so happy foe them. Unlike your parents, mine didn't plan to remarry again but they do celebrate their anniversary outside and have a dinner. Honestly, I don't have any thing to surprise them even if I loved to, but then 26 is still too far and I can still make some surprises soon, I am hoping so. Do you have any suggestion? I would glad to ear some. and Thank you in advance.

Congratulations on your parents wedding anniversary. My parents do celebrate their wedding anniversary but not in a yearly basis since my dad is working abroad so the way they celebrate it yearly is different. Although they had their marriage vow renewed more than ten years ago which the result was our youngest brother. Anyway, if I do have the money, I will also save for them to have a wonderful and remarkable wedding anniversary. Probably that will happen if they reach their RUBY anniversary, so I have more than how many years to save

Now that my siblings and i are older and all married , our parents gets to celebrate their wedding anniversary , at our initiative. They were previously mum about it, that we don't even know when is it. However, because we all have the means to contribute for a small celebration, we asked them when is it actually, and from then on, we get to celebrate them with foods and the gathering of all of us at the patriarchal house. But as to wedding anniversary, they shy away from it.

Yes of course they love to celebrate their Anniversary. I arranged a party on their 20th Wedding anniversary and I am looking forward for their 25th Wedding Anniversary which I am planning to rock them. These are some special Occasions in our life, which we cannot leave just like that. May be I will gift them something even they cant Imagine, since they are such a Wonderful Couple just made for each other. Just waiting for the Occasion. I Love My parents...!!!!!!!
