We love statistics and the Office of National Statistics has lots of information available on Weddings - how many people were married each year and in which month. We have listed the number of weddings in England and Wales and the big anniversaries. Of course we know that many of these couples will no longer be married for all sorts of reasons but we hope that lots still are and that they will enjoy celebrating their anniversary this month.
