Hey everyone! My husband and I just made plans for our first anniversary this summer and I got to wondering what do other couples do to celebrate their first year of marriage??
Weekend getaway? Big trip? Romantic dinner? I’d love to hear your plans! Did you plan it together? Was it a surprise? Will you be doing gifts for each other?
We will be taking 8 days off to canoe the Bowron Lakes Circuit in Wells Gray Provincial Park, finishing the circuit on our anniversary and then booking a hotel in Wells for the night and visiting the whiskey bar there! We are so excited!

Hi Maegan!
That sounds like such a lovely trip you've planned!
Hubby and I will be celebrating our anniversary by going on our much belated honeymoon. We decided to wait a year until after he finished his residency training. So this summer we are gonna celebrate our honeymoon/1 year anniversary/both our birthdays in France! We both haven't been before so we planned it together. Don't think we will be doing gifts since it's such a big trip already.

I think we will go away somewhere even if it's just for a night. During our wedding ceremony we will be doing a wine ceremony. We have a wooden box with a bottle of win and two glasses in it and at our wedding we will put in a letter we both have written each other explaining why we want to marry the other - we will open the box on our first anniversary, drink the wine and read each other's letters. I cannot wait !

On our first year of relationship we went to Las Vegas. It was my old dream. I like spontaneous trips so much!

I mean it's still a long time away for us..need to get married first! But we'll probably take a trip to Vancouver or Vancouver Island (4-5 hours away) maybe even go to Seattle! Probably just a weekend getaway, few days tops.

We definitely wanted something more intimate for the honeymoon -when we go to Lebanon it will be a LOT of visiting family lol.

Nice! Yeah I live in Maple Ridge! I went to high school in Victoria, so I lived there for 4 years. My mom still lives on the Island so we go visit (near Duncan) quite often.

I'm from Vancouver, so it's just out of Van, to Victoria, a day at sea, and into Seattle. So no flights! It's gonna be fun.

Well he did feel better, thanks for the concern!
Yeah, my FH said that once we get married we won't be celebrating our dating anniversary and it kind of got me sad. Although I'll be honest that this one didn't feel as special as the others. I think it's because we have the wedding coming up soon and we know it's going to go to the backburner sooner than later lol.

It’s a trade off for sure! I do not regret one bit of the travelling we have done or will do this year, but it is hard to just be throwing away money every month rather than investing it in ourselves as you put it.

That’s a beautiful area! It’s on my list of places to explore more of! I’m sure you will have a great time

Oh trust me! Renting can be amazing! I've been renting for years but for us for a little bit more per month we can invest the money into ourselves rather than paying off someone else's mortgage. But trust me we know how hard it is.... the market is nuts for first home buyers so we are hoping for the best too!!! Traveling more sounds amazing too!! Ugh there's so much of the world I want to see~

Weddings and home buying are expensive! I am jealous that you can afford a house haha. We decided that home buying was unachievable for us right now (we live in the Fraser Valley were everything is obnoxiously expensive) but we have a wicked deal on a rental, so we’ve decided to spend a lot of time travelling and exploring before we have kids since we have no mortgage. Might bite us in the butt later, but oh well!
First anniversary! How will you celebrate??
