Marking the day. A wedding anniversary is the yearly celebration of the date when two people got married. Couples often spend this day together doing something special to remember their love for each other.

Milestone celebrations. Certain years of marriage get special names and bigger celebrations. For example, 50 years of marriage is called a golden anniversary, and couples might throw a big party with family and friends.

Gifts and traditions. Many cultures have traditional gifts for different anniversary milestones. These gifts help mark how many years a couple has been together and show how much their relationship means to them.

Renewing vows. Some couples celebrate big anniversaries by renewing their marriage vows, which means they promise to stay together all over again. This often happens in a church service with family and friends watching.
