Is it corny to celebrate a first date anniversary?

It's me and my husband's 12 year first date anniversary. I met him on okcupid by accident. haha. I had messaged another guy and the quick picks came up and he had an old pic on his profile where he was thinner and I was like oh hell yeah, so i clicked poke. THEN I went to his profile and was like god damnit he's a fat ****. Yes i was a bit worried about appearances then. I talked to him anyways and so we went on our first date on 11/21/2004. We went to Qdoba and saw the Incredibles (yes that movie is 12 years old). It was an amazing first date that I'm so glad I went on. He's the love of my life.

We've had our issues, but we always over come them. We did marriage counseling in 2015 and that really helped. He really cares for me as much as I care for him. I really can't see myself with anyone else. Most of the time he knows what to say when I'm having a mood episode. He's always there for me and I am always there for him. With his last job he'd call and I'd let him rant all he wanted. It felt really weird being on the receiving end of that since it's usually the other way around, but I was just glad I could calm him down some.

I'm glad he has a break between jobs because I hardly saw him the past 5 months. I just like sitting with him and binge watching a show. We don't even need to be talking. I just like that he's here. We don't talk a lot, but I'm fine with that. I'm not one for long conversations. Both of our needs are met, which is what is most important.

I really do love my husband. I hope we have many more years together.

Personally I think it's awesome you celebrate your first date/ meeting. Means a lot that in those first moments you found something worth fighting for. It's impressive. My fella asked if I wanted to make our anniversary as our first official date or the day we met and in the end we agreed the day we met, somehow meant more. Good to hear it's not just us.

Have a great day, and congrats on 12 years.

I think that what's important to you both is what you should focus upon. Whether me, Joe Blow, or whomever thinks that it's corny, who cares? You and your husband are the ones in the relationship and are celebrating. That's all that matters! Kudos to you both!!
