How we calculate
- We count anniversaries by the calendar: the next anniversary is the same date the following year (married on February 29 - in non-leap years we use February 28).
- Days married are calendar days from the wedding day to today, unaffected by daylight saving time.
- Anniversary names are a tradition, not a rule - lists differ between sources. We show the traditional American list and, in parentheses, a common alternative.

Questions and answers
What is the 25th anniversary called?
Silver. The 50th is gold, and the 60th is diamond (some lists also call the 75th diamond).
Does every anniversary have a name?
Traditional lists name years 1-15, then every five years (20, 25, 30...). The 16th or 23rd anniversary, for example, has no traditional name.
