Traditionally, this is the day that the woman proposes to the man in the UK. Apparently, there are now five times more couples get married on this day than any other day in February. For those couples, they will have their wedding anniversaries once every four years. But it looks like that many couples are actually in favour of having less wedding anniversaries than more.

 

      In my previous article BISMUTH Wedding Anniversary, I put a link (Wikipedia.org) at the end to show different Wedding Anniversary Years but for unknown reasons, it didn’t work for some people. I like to take this opportunity to post the table here for your reference and apologize for the trouble caused last time.

     

      Wishing you all a good weekend!
