@cano.bride

In such an important love story, we will introduce the couple’s anniversaries in English.

But if we make mistakes with the English phrases, it could be a disaster…! Let’s review the English expressions for anniversaries together ♡

Five Significant Anniversaries to Use in "LOVE STORY" ♡

The anniversaries to be included in the love story are fundamentally these five.

☑ The day the couple met

☑ The day they started dating

☑ The day of the proposal

☑ The day they registered their marriage

☑ The day of the wedding

Of course, you don't have to use all of them. Use the anniversaries that you both consider important ♩

We'll introduce the English phrases in order from their first meeting.

Anniversary ① The Day the Couple Met

Some may not remember "the day they met." But it was that meeting that made their marriage possible ♡

The English expression to represent that meeting is

"We first met."

This simple phrase is enough!

"met" is the past tense of "meet." It is smoother to use the past tense here.

By the way, some brides express it as "We fall in Love."

Translated literally, it means "Fell in love." It has a romantic meaning, right? "The day we fell in love = the day we met" might also be lovely.

Anniversary ② The Day They Started Dating *

The English expression for the day the couple started dating is

"He stole her heart."

It may feel a bit embarrassing, but it's lovely ♡

"stole" is the past tense of "steal" (to steal). This phrase means "The day he stole my heart = the day we started dating" ♡

Anniversary ③ The Day of the Proposal *

A girl’s dream ♡ The day she was proposed to is expressed as

"She said 'Yes!'"

This reflects the bride's words when she accepted the proposal.

If that feels a bit lacking, you can add

"He said, 'Will you marry me?'"

These are once-in-a-lifetime words you want to hear, right? Don’t forget to follow this phrase with "She said ~" introduced earlier ♩

Anniversary ④ The Marriage Registration Day *

The day they became a couple, which is the day they registered their marriage, is also an important anniversary. Many couples celebrate it as their wedding anniversary ♩

There are various phrases, but

"She stole his last name."

is stylish and recommended.

The story goes that the girl who stole his heart also took his name ♡ By the way, in the case of a husband taking his wife’s name, it would be expressed as

"He stole her last name."

Another option is

"We became the same name."

Remember, the marriage registration day is different from the wedding day, as it is the day when names become the same.

Anniversary ⑤ The Day of the Wedding *

On the wedding day, vows are declared during the ceremony to become a couple ♡

The phrase marking this anniversary is "We said 'Yes.'"

This simple phrase is sufficient ♩

You can change the "Yes" part to "We said 'I Do,'" which conveys the same meaning ♡ Alternatively, you can use "Wedding Day" to denote "wedding day" as well ♩

／Important Notice／ Be mindful of the subject ♡

When expressing in English, pay attention to the subject. Make sure to maintain consistency in referring to the two people involved. ♩

For example, if you've used "We" somewhere, use the same "We" when referring to them elsewhere.

If you used "They" in another instance, keep that consistent as well ♩
