Would you go to a wedding on your wedding anniversary?

If you were invited to a wedding on your own wedding anniversary would you go?

In this scenario it's not a 'big' anniversary
Your spouse isn't invited to the wedding
The wedding is not that of a close family member of friend

Would it be weird if you DID go?

I'd go

PlantDoctor · 15/01/2025 19:07

I'd go but not that fussed about anniversaries. It's a bit strange they didn't invite your spouse generally though (not because of anniversary date)

Dogisdigging · 15/01/2025 19:07

I'd go too as long as I wanted to ifyswim

If I wanted to go, I would go! DH wouldn’t be upset. We don’t make a big deal of our anniversary. Possible excuse for a party if it’s a big one but even that prob wouldn’t be on the day itself.

WorriedRelative · 15/01/2025 19:08

Why wouldn't you?

thisfilmisboring123 · 15/01/2025 19:08

I’d go.
We’re not big on anniversaries although saying that ours is my birthday so that’s probably why we don’t really put any emphasis on it.

beholdmylastfuckflyingaway · 15/01/2025 19:09

If it's not a milestone anniversary, and i liked the people getting married, I would go. If it was a milestone anniversary I would let them know why I couldn't go and see if the invite was extended.... if it was... free party!

Paradoes · 15/01/2025 19:09

tne date wouldn’t bother me as we are not that big into anniversaries (I like celebrating Mother’s Day etc and that’s enough)

so like above i would go (as with all weddings) only if I really wanted to

TheBoysAndTheBallet · 15/01/2025 19:09

Wouldn't even occur to me not to go. Confused

Noshowlomo · 15/01/2025 19:09

Yeah I’d go. I generally forget mine anyway

SchoolDilemma17 · 15/01/2025 19:10

Yes why not.

SchoolDilemma17 · 15/01/2025 19:10

Noshowlomo · 15/01/2025 19:09

Same here

Runningoutofthyme · 15/01/2025 19:10

weird for who?

PigInAHouse · 15/01/2025 19:10

Yes

Yellowbananasarebetterthangreen · 15/01/2025 19:11

Yes definitely Id go. Same as with baby names really........ to paraphrase a well used MN phrase...... "you dont own the day" - inevitably other people will at some point get married on one of the 365/6 available days in a year that happens to be "yours".

Ohthatsabitshit · 15/01/2025 19:12

Not without my husband.

Echobelly · 15/01/2025 19:13

I'd go. If one of us had a similar invite on our anniversary or something else that meant they were busy we'd do any anniversary activity on another night; we quite often do it on another night anyway.

Digdongdoo · 15/01/2025 19:13

Wouldn't even occurr to me not to go. Why wouldn't you?

ToastieWarm · 15/01/2025 19:13

I could have written this post as I'm in exactly the same scenario. I'm going to the wedding. I plan to have many more anniversaries, whilst there will be only one wedding for my friend.

JC03745 · 15/01/2025 19:13

Strangely, I remember everyone elses anniversaries and birthdays- yet never our own! We've rarely even remembered our anniversary as been together so long.

Why wouldn't you go? Why wasn't DH invited? That is a bit odd- even if they don't know him, surely it would include a +1 if they know you are married/have a partner?

MyOtherCarisAVauxhallZafira · 15/01/2025 19:15

Of course I'd go, do you not go to work on your anniversary? If you do why is your friend's wedding less important than work?

Givemethreerings · 15/01/2025 19:15

Absolutely! What a happy linkage too. But I’m also not so fussed about anniversaries. We do a card, small gift, maybe a day out hiking or visiting somewhere cool, but don’t mind missing it or doing something a week later.

toffeeappleturnip · 15/01/2025 19:15

Yes why isn't your DH invited?

If he was you could enjoy it in a secret 'lets pretend this party is our wedding anniversary party' kind of a way

QueSyrahSyrah · 15/01/2025 19:17

I wouldn't go to any wedding that my Husband wasn't also invited to (possible exception of a night do for a colleague or similar) no matter what day it fell on.

I would go to any event we were invited to on our Wedding anniversary so long as we didn't already have more pressing plans.

APushbikeNamedReluctance · 15/01/2025 19:18

It's not a family member's or friend's wedding? Whose wedding is it?

Think it'd depend on who else is going. If there were people whose company i enjoy id go. Don't really do much for anniversaries so that fact wouldn't have much bearing.
