What the counter works out
From the date you met, the counter gives the number of days together, the length of time in years, months and days, and the next milestones worth marking. The milestones run from 100 to 25,000 days: 1,000 days is just under three years, and 10,000 days a little over 27.
With your wedding date it adds the next wedding anniversary and its traditional name, for example 1 – paper, 5 – wood, 25 – silver, 50 – gold. The calculation runs in your browser: no date is sent or stored.
Milestones and their length in years
The years in the table are the number of days divided by 365.25, which allows for leap years, so a milestone can fall a few days away from the calendar anniversary.
