To ask what you did for your 10 year anniversary?

[FutureMrsD]

He and DH have been together for 10 years next month.. where for the time go?!
I am wondering how my fellow MNers celebrated?
We are 26 and 28, been married for 2 yrs and don’t currently have any children (work in progress!).
We go out for dinner and have the odd weekend away, so I’m wondering if I should organise something like this but don’t know how to make it extra special.
We are going to Italy at the end of August (a few weeks after our anniversary), so could do something then potentially..
I am also thinking of putting together a scrap book/photo album of random stuff we have done together.. but I worry I won’t have enough time to finish it as sad as it sounds, we don’t spend much time apart!
Just curious to see what others did and any suggestions would be awesome 🙂

So it's the anniversary of what? Knowing each other? First getting together?
I personally think you should really only bother celebrating actual wedding anniversaries - if that's your bag. It's not mine and we don't but to each their own.
Put together a scrapbook if it would please you but it's just another thing that you won't know what to do with in 20 years time.

I sort of agree there, we acknowledged our anniversary of getting together before we were married (although no cards or gifts exchanged, just a nice dinner out usually) but once we were married our wedding anniversary took over that. It's a bit much having 2 anniversaries a year!

If it's not your wedding anniversary I'm not sure there is any obligation to celebrate it at all? so just do something you enjoy.

I’d stick to wedding anniversaries! But do something yourselves if you want to mark it like dinner out or a trip.

We went away for the weekend to the area where we spent a lot of time together when we first met.

And DH proposed .

So it's your 2 year anniversary? Not sure why you're celebrating two separate anniversaries, the 'x years together' one tends to fall by the wayside once married and actual wedding anniversaries take over.

10yr anniversary of being “together”? Nothing. 10yr anniversary of being married? Nothing! I’m not sure “being together” anniversaries are “a thing” though and MN might be a hard place to convince people otherwise!

I'm with the OP (any excuse for a nice meal out or special dinner at home). We were together a long time before we married and I like to recognise that time too. We don't do cards or presents for our anniversaries but we always try and do something nice to mark the occasion.

For our tenth wedding anniversary we went to New York. Best time ever!

Divorced.

Crappy meal at the in-laws

We went to Stratford upon Avon in a lovely b&b - the landlady decorated the room with flowers and LED candles for us.

We went for a really lovely meal and then saw a play at the RSC. Very relaxing weekend.

For our 10th wedding anniversary we had a night away in a very nice hotel.

Anniversaries of being together we didn’t bother with after getting married.

10th wedding anniversary we hired a big house for a weekend and invited a group of friends to stay with us, had a posh dinner one night, and just had a lovely weekend together. We got married at 22 so by 10 years we had quite a lot of friends we would have invited to the wedding.

10th anniversary for being together. We have never been with anyone else, just each other..
I know the ‘boyfriend/girlfriend’ anniversary gets forgotten once you are married, and rightly so, no point celebrating twice.. but I figured 10 years would be different and would be worth celebrating.

For my 10th wedding anniversary, I took my husband to www.burghisland.com for a long weekend. It cost me an absolute fortune but was worth every single penny. We've been back twice since and it's always been wonderful. We're celebrating 21 years married this year, but with a 5 year old, we are a little more frugal with our celebrating

Same. We just went ‘huh, we’ve been together a decade’ and that was it. We do have 2 small kids though so that’s about all we had the energy for haha 😄

Any excuse for a trip away OP! Cotswolds, Crete, Seychelles, what’s yer budget? Nice restaurant meal? Cinema and Nando’s (my dream).

10th wedding anniversary I'd just had our youngest so it was a quiet one. We went out for breakfast and then we watched a film at home in the evening. DH got me a necklace with our wedding date and the dc's initials engraved on it.

Oh good call iklboo I love Stratford!!! Hmm. Wales? Lakes? There are so many lovely places in the UK.

We’re going to New York for my 30th in January, 3 nights which is a doable. That’s the minimum length I’d go that far I reckon. Errrrrm trying to think of other celebrations we’ve done... Michelin star restaurants for various occasions. West end show??

We’ll have been married 10 years in 2022, this thread is making me want to plan already haha

I'm surprised people can remember the exact date they got together. I certainly can't. In fact, I'd struggle with the year!

Nothing but we are the type of couple to not do valentines either.

It's our 10 years married/20 years together anniversary next year, we're going to Iceland

We got married on the 10 year anniversary of -shagging- getting together, we felt it was worth celebrating! Does that get around the Mumsnet one anniversary per year rule`?

Our 10 year wedding anniversary we went back to Florence where we honeymooned. And a couple of years ago when it was our 25th anniversary but "only" our 15 year wedding anniversary we hired a campsite and threw a festival party for all our friends.

We stayed at the H10 in London and had dinner at Fera
