I`m not trying to offend anyone if I am, because sometimes when I have asked questions like this I offend people even though I don`t mean to. I am just curious.

This might make more sense:
If when they are married, can they celebrate their anniversary?

While some couples do and some don't, their is no Biblical prohibitive reason for not celebrating the Wedding Day or Anniversary. Case in point, My Parents celebrated their's for years. A friend of mine said she and her husband don't.

Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses typically celebrate a wedding day.
Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians. Christians work to imitate Christ.
(John 2:1-2) Now on the third day a marriage feast took place in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the marriage feast.

My in-laws are JW. They celebrate their wedding day by throwing a party. So I think they are. But they can not celebrate their birthday or any of the holidays like Christmas or Easter. Heck, they can't even celebrate Thanksgiving.

Absolutely--and they are encouraged to involve the children as well. Marriage is God's arrangement and should be honored by the whole family. If things have been done according to his will, the children are a result of that blessed union.

Yes,if they choose to.
The marriage arrangement was instigated by Jehovah God and therefore is a blessed union.Unlike the majority of celebrations that people today enjoy.....Christmass,Easter,
birthdays,mothers day,fathers day,halloween,valentines day..These and many more have pagan roots and as such are unacceptable in the eyes of Jehovah God and as His Witnesses,our priority is to please and bring honor and praise to our God.

Since they exemplify the example set down by Christ, the question would be, did Christ observe wedding annivaseries? If he did, than JWs do.

Yep!! I use to be one, or all most because I became a Pagan. It is the only thing they do. For they say it is the only thing that was done in the old and new parts of that book. You know when his son turn water into wine. All other of the holidays are form remade pagan customs.

I'm not a JW, but I would say no. They don't celebrate anything. That way, they save money.

How do you mean? Do they have to have permission to get it on? I think sex is for procreation, as with Mormons.
