- I would keep this as a set phrase. We don't say "my marriage day", we say "my wedding day". I think we should keep strong set phrases even if technically explicable as SoP. Mihia (talk) 22:26, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Is this useful as a translation hub? Of the languages I speak, the translations all look like transparent "wedding + day" compounds, but I can imagine some language might have a unique word for this. Smurrayinchester (talk) 13:35, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Passes WT:FRIED. It is restricted in meaning in that it is a day where a past wedding is commemorated according to analogous calendary date, if the marriage is intact. judgement day, day of the rope, German Tag X etc. conversely refers to an occurrence and single day expected in the future, rest day an activity in the same day.

- I don't think that's right. "Wedding day" can be a past, present, future or entirely hypothetical event (you'll find lots of people fantasising about their future wedding day).

- He said that he was looking forward to my wedding day and walking me down the aisle, and our father-daughter dance at the reception.

- Today is my wedding day! Is this another of my dreams? Today is my wedding day. Did I really write that? Did I, Anna Augusta Verona Parker really write that? Yes! Yes! Yes! It is true. Today is my wedding day!

- The heavier makeup used on a wedding day will really emphasize any facial hair even if it's fine and blonde.
- Using "wedding day" as a synonym for "anniversary" sounds very wrong to me - if someone said "We're celebrating our wedding day next week" I'd think they were telling me they were getting married, not commemorating a wedding years ago. Interestingly the hits on Google Books for "celebrating our wedding day" (in the anniversary sense) are almost all a hundred years old, so I wonder if that would work as an obsolete sense.

- @Smurrayinchester: Yeah, but don’t they plan it for the future for memory afterwards? Like graduation balls, which deffo should be an entry imho. (Also, people might do both for networking, but I am unsure about the extent of this motivation.) The idiomatic part is the social significance, the constructing social status and personal identity within it, which though lifechanging is imperfectly verbalized until a bunch of loners attempt to define it for their dictionary.
