How it works

One date, calculated as a calendar date

Enter your wedding date and OurYears counts completed years, calendar months, and days without turning the date into a timezone-dependent timestamp. It then finds the next occurrence of your anniversary, counts the days remaining, and matches the anniversary year to commonly used U.S. traditional and modern gift themes. These themes are customs, not rules, and lists can vary slightly by source.
