1st Anniversary

Dp and I have our first anniversary coming up on 24 January. I can't sleep so have been thinking about things we could do. I love him with all my heart, we moved in together a month ago, I'd like to do something special that shows him how much he means to me (though there's every chance he'd organise something on the quiet!). So come on mumsnetters, what did you do to celebrate your first year together?!

So you aren't married, just a first year of being together celebration?

I was 17 when my (now) DH and I celebrated that particular milestone Blush so my memory is a bit hazy about what we did.

Something like a gig you both want to see, or a special meal in a place that is significant for you both could be nice.

A small gift would be good - as long as you're both happy to do that.

Really it's just nice to remember the day together, going overboard isn't needed.

Congrats :)

I printed lots of photos from our year together and gave them to her in a nice album.

Then cooked something nice, with a bottle of champagne.

Must have done something right - the next time we met she said she wanted to become Mrs. Badlad (or BadLass, if you will).

I wouldn't go overboard, you are celebrating one year of a relationship, I imagine he already knows how you feel.

My DP and I have just recently had our first anniversary. We did a few things as we had a week's holiday over the day (iyswim).

I found a night at a pretty city hotel with dinner on a discount website so I got us that, he took me for afternoon tea one day and then out to dinner another. Mostly we just snuggled up and spent lots of time telling each other how happy we were and enjoying each other's company.

Have fun!

Not overboard no, but I think it's something worth celebrating

Have you had other relationships that have lasted more than a year?

We got married on the anniversary of us getting together but not deliberately and probably wouldn't have marked it if we weren't getting married. Our first wedding anniversary we attempted to stay overnight in a hotel with our tiny twins but there was loads of noise so we checked out and went home!
