What Day Do Everyone Decide to Register Their Marriage?

The registration date, when you submit your marriage certificate and are legally recognized as a couple＊

The registration date marks a significant milestone in life, where you leave the family register of your parents who gave you life and create a new family register with the person you love,

making it a very important wedding anniversary♡

That's why I think, "I need to choose a date for the registration that I will never forget, no matter how old I get."

But, "When should that be among the 365 days?" is quite a challenge, and it can be worrying...

In this article, I would like to introduce recommended ways to decide on a registration date for couples who have not yet submitted their marriage certificate＊

① Either of your birthdays

Choosing either your birthday or your partner's birthday as the marriage registration date is a popular option! You definitely won’t forget it, and

you can celebrate both your birthday and your wedding anniversary together, which means you can have a wonderfully happy day every year♩

② The birthday halfway between the two of you

Some couples choose the halfway point between each other's birthdays as their registration date♩

For example, if your partner's birthday is June 1 and your birthday is October 30, the halfway date would be August 15!

This could be great if your birthdays are close or match nicely＊

③ Good Couple Day

November 22 is Good Couple Day♡

It’s popular to choose this day for the registration date with the hope that you will always be a wonderful couple＊

It is a day that is often discussed on the internet and television each year, so it should be easy to remember!

④ The day of the wedding ceremony

Registering your marriage on the same day as your wedding ceremony is also a great option!＊

People often wonder whether to consider the registration date or the ceremony date as their wedding anniversary, but if they are on the same day, then there’s no problem♡

In this case, since there won’t be much time to return after the ceremony, don’t forget to take the marriage certificate to the venue♩

⑤ An auspicious day

Among the traditional calendar days, the day of Daian is considered auspicious, commonly used for the wedding day or invitation sending day, and fits perfectly with the registration date as well＊

Recently, good days like Ichiryumanbaibi and Tenshahi, which are even better than Daian, are also becoming popular♩

✓ Ichiryumanbaibi is an auspicious day when the seeds you have sown will return many times over.

✓ Tenshahi is the highest auspicious day when heaven forgives all sins.

If you want to be lucky on an auspicious day, this is recommended, so be sure to check it out＊

⑥ National holidays

Choosing to register your marriage on national holidays, such as Greenery Day (5/4), Marine Day (7/16), or Labor Thanksgiving Day (11/23), is also a great idea＊

If your workplace is closed on holidays, it’s nice that you can both go out together from the morning every year♩

⑦ Mirror numbers day

Having the registration date fall on a mirror number day such as January 1, February 2, March 3, etc., is also an option＊

Particularly, July 7 (Tanabata), August 8 (which is considered good luck), and November 11 (Pocky Day) are popular due to their uniqueness♩

⑧ Anniversary of becoming a couple

The anniversary of becoming a couple is already a significant day filled with memories for both of you♡

Registering on this day will definitely make that date even more endearing＊

⑨ Anniversaries related to your partner

Dates related to your partner could include things like January 31 (Wife Day), May 23 (Kiss Day), or June 12 (Lover’s Day)＊

It might stimulate both of you to keep the romance alive each year if you want to have a forever romantic relationship♡♩

⑩ Flower anniversaries

Did you know that each flower has its own anniversary?

For example, cherry blossoms are on March 27, roses on June 2, and baby’s breath on July 7♩

Choosing the anniversary of your favorite flower or a flower that holds memories from your wedding as the registration date is also a lovely idea♡

⑪ Word play days

Deciding on a registration date using wordplay could be interesting♩

For example, you could choose March 9 (Thank You Day) to express gratitude to one another every year or August 9 (Hug Day) if you both enjoy hugging♡

If you can create wordplay with your names, choosing that date would also be great!

⑫ Birthdays of beloved celebrities

And lastly, if you both share a favorite celebrity, you could choose their birthday as your registration date＊

Besides birthdays, you might choose the debut date of your favorite artist,

or the day your favorite sports team won a championship as your registration date, which could also be a good option♩
