Gesture & etiquette
Warm smile, hands folded gently on lap. If they begin describing the wedding ceremony, settle in—this is rich storytelling territory. Note the date so you can wish them well when it approaches.
Wedding anniversary brings warm marriage memories. 「ご主人さま」 with -sama is reverent—appropriate if you don't know if he's still living. Use 「奥様」 for wives. If the spouse has passed, follow up gently with 「ご主人さまはお元気でいらっしゃいますか？」—their response will tell you whether to continue the marriage thread or pivot.
