Do you remember the exact date you first got together with your OH?

Just that really. I remind DH every year we got together on this day how many years ago and he just rolls his eyes now.

Anyone else have the exact date you got together etched in your mind?

Coincidentally DS was born the day before our first date anniversary. I was hoping he'd come on the day itself.

I know the year and that is was the Friday of the August bank holiday but I don’t know the exact date.

To me, that’s our real anniversary, not when we got married 10 years later.

S0CKS · 07/09/2019 12:32

I remember the date and time we met up
Don't remember the exact date off hand we spoke online but i could work it out
I remember the day we got together too.
Honestly the day i met him was the best day of my life

Figmentofimagination · 07/09/2019 12:37

We both remember the exact date. We got engaged on the same day 4 years later, married on the same day a further 2 years after that. Been together 13 years now.

Yes I remember the date when we met. We were a couple literally straight away and got married 5 months later

SimonJT · 07/09/2019 12:42

No, but then I often forget my own birthday.

Chista · 07/09/2019 12:43

Nope, remember the year but thats about it, we struggle to remember our wedding anniversary too

LilouBlue · 07/09/2019 12:47

I know it, but we've been together less than a year, and I also have a picture from me ready for our first date on Instagram so if I ever forget I can look that up! He knows the date we first started talking (OLD) which I didn't. And I looked up the first time he told me he loved me, by going back in our WhatsApp chat history!

TeamUnicorn · 07/09/2019 12:47

I can't remember the exact date but it was the day after the Eurovision concert as I turned him down to stay in and watch it the night before.

I couldn't have been too awful, it is our 17th WA today.

UrbanMage · 07/09/2019 13:00

Yep. I can tell you the date we met, when we went on our first date and all the rest. Been together 7 years. Married for almost 1 and have a four and half year old monster DD.

WhoKnewBeefStew · 07/09/2019 13:05

I'm remember the date of our first date, dh has it very subtly tattoo'd on his arm

Dowser · 07/09/2019 13:26

Yes, my grandsons birthday
Go

Dowser · 07/09/2019 13:27

Got married on same date so we didn’t have too many anniversaries floating around

Witchend · 07/09/2019 13:28

Yes. We also got engaged on that date. We tend to remember it more than the wedding date. Blush

georgialondon · 07/09/2019 13:29

Nope. We both know the month but not the date.

MamaLazarou · 07/09/2019 14:11

yes, we remember it every year.

Ninkaninus · 07/09/2019 14:17

I count it from the first time he told me he loved me (I knew he loved me for a while before that, though). And yes I remember the exact date. We have been together for 11 years and 3 months. 🥰

fantasmasgoria1 · 07/09/2019 14:17

Yes i do. It's only 3 years ago but it was such am amazing first date, it lasted 24 hours and he is a brilliant man. I will always remember it.

AhhhHereItGoes · 07/09/2019 14:18

Yes, August 14th.
Got married August 15th 7 years later.

cricketmum84 · 07/09/2019 14:19

OP - our DD was born the day after our first date anniversary!

He still forgets though.

Didyoujustbreak · 07/09/2019 14:30

I haven't got a freaking clue!

But I was 17, I just assumed he would be another shag. I didn't expect him to hand around for another 20 years.

MissTicPizza · 07/09/2019 14:38

Yes, but only because the date I started uni is etched in my head. I met him on the Wednesday of Fresher's week - 24 years ago this month!

ItProtectsMyHead · 07/09/2019 15:26

Yes, I know the date of the first time we went for a drink together and when we decided we were 'official' on our third date, we sort of backdated from there. First date was Wednesday and third date was Saturday though, so it made sense to us to count it from that first evening out together. We used to celebrate it by going out for dinner or something, in fact we got engaged exactly 2 years after our first date, but now we're married we celebrate our actual wedding anniversary, and just acknowledge our 'getting together anniversary' by maybe ordering a takeaway and watching a film together or something

OccasionalNachos · 07/09/2019 15:30

Yes, we met, kissed & had sex several times on 13 June. Made it official around mid September (after university break - I had spent the summer travelling!)

We don’t mark the date but I do always think of it when the year rolls round.

NeverSayFreelance · 07/09/2019 15:31

Yes. We're not married so that is our anniversary.

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 07/09/2019 15:52

June 2nd 2000.
Couldn't tell you our wedding anniversary without looking at the certificate though Grin
