Anniversary Date Night: Relive Your Wedding Soundtrack
Happy anniversary from all the ladies of Our DJ Rocks! We loved rocking your dance floor, and we hope you still think about that first dance. This anniversary date night is built around the music of your wedding day.
1. Play Your Wedding Soundtrack
Queue up your first dance, parent dances, grand entrance song, and the one that packed the floor. Dim the lights and slow dance in the kitchen. Bonus points for wearing something from the wedding. Need a refresher? Our best wedding songs list has the classics.

2. Mix a Cocktail for Two
3 oz prosecco, 2 oz Aperol (or a zero proof aperitif), 1 oz soda water. Build over ice in a wine glass, add an orange slice.
2 oz bourbon, ¼ oz maple syrup, 2 dashes bitters. Stir with ice, strain over one big cube, garnish with orange peel.
3. Cook Dinner Together
Heat oven to 400°F. Whisk 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Place 2 salmon fillets and 1 bunch trimmed asparagus on a sheet pan, brush the salmon with sauce, drizzle the asparagus with oil and salt. Roast 12 to 15 minutes until the salmon flakes (145°F).
In each mug, stir 3 tbsp flour, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp cocoa, 3 tbsp milk, 1 tbsp melted butter and a pinch of salt. Press 1 square of chocolate into the center. Microwave 60 to 70 seconds. Top with ice cream and share a spoon.
4. Anniversary Questions for Couples
- What song takes you right back to our wedding night?
- What surprised you most about this year together?
- What small thing do I do that makes you feel loved?
- What song belongs on our “this year” playlist?
- What adventure should we plan before our next anniversary?
5. Get Closer
Turn the music down for this round. Take turns and really listen.
- Finish this sentence: “I feel most loved by you when…”
- What is one thing you want me to know about how you’re really doing?
- When did you feel like we were a true team this year?
- What do you need more of from me this year?
- What part of our vows feels most true right now?
- If this year were a song, what would we call it?
