Comments on: How to Celebrate a Wedding Anniversary

on 4/3/2006 I have only been married 14 years, but we're planning to throw a party for our 15th. It is not one of the milestone, but who cares. In today's world of divorce happening every day making it another year is a reason to celebrate. Whether it be the 7th, 12th or 28th, I reckon you should have a party every year if you can.

on 1/16/2006 As the wife of a previously widowed husband, I disagree with acknowledging in any way a widow's or widower's previous wedding anniversary once they are remarried. It would be insensitive to the widow's or widower's new spouse.

on 11/22/2005 Acknowledge widows and widowers on their wedding anniversaries. Perhaps the person who suggested to avoid mentioning the deceased spouse or the anniversary and not to send an anniversary card to a widow or widower, is not widowed. If so, he or she certainly does not speak for the rest of us. We do not forget our spouses, and by not being acknowledged them we only feel that we (or worse yet our deceased spouse), have been forgotten. I assure you, we are already thinking of our spouses and certainly are already aware of what day it is, and a simple "I'm thinking of you and (your spouse) today" would be kind and comforting.

on 11/22/2005 I am a hopelessly romantic person, but I am happily married to a not-so-good-with-ideas husband. So, I am making it my task to have the 10th anniversary special. I plan to spread it out for 10 days, 1 for each year. Each day will have a surprise for him; the first day celebrating with friends/family and the last day being an intimate dinner on a cruise ship.

on 11/22/2005 On our anniversary each year, we redo our wedding night at a different hotel/resort each time. This way our wedding has never really ended. On the milestone years, we revisit the original hotel and relive the same night over again. It's very romantic!
