Photo from The Wedding Lens
One of my friends was recently complaining about her and her boyfriend’s anniversary. Her anniversary, Christmas, sometimes Hanukkah, her boyfriend’s birthday, and New Years are all within a 10 day period. She hates that almost everything happens within 10 days — and then silence (except for her birthday) for the rest of the year.
She was trying to come up with alternate days of the year that they could celebrate, but she didn’t feel like giving up their anniversary was really a solution. So we started discussing, along with another friend: how to fix an anniversary?!
One way to fix the anniversary is to pick a different wedding day (assuming, of course, that they decide to get hitched!). People tend to pick their wedding days for different reasons - most prefer to pick a day that’s either close to their anniversary of dating date or their engagement date. But for the vast majority, I suspect that the wedding day happens to be the day that fits schedules (yours, the venue, etc).
Even though there are a number of other factors involved, the wedding is an opportunity to at least pick the time of the year that you want your anniversary to be. So, for someone like my friend, she would probably be open to an anniverary in any other time of the year — which makes it flexible AND easy for her to pick a non-conflicting date.
AND, once you pick your wedding day, you can start getting excited about all the photos you can put into your online wedding photo album. Right? Right.
Will you use your wedding day to “fix” your anniversary??
