An anniversary refers to the yearly recurrence of a specific event, such as a wedding, business establishment, or any other significant milestone. It is a celebratory occasion that marks the completion of a certain number of years since the initial event took place. Anniversaries often hold sentimental value and are commonly commemorated with special events, gifts, or gatherings. While not legally binding, anniversaries may have legal implications in certain contexts, such as the calculation of time for legal rights or obligations.
