day to remember

Date worth noting

A day to remember is one significant enough to stay in memory—whether for joy, tragedy, or milestone events.

The phrase often marks weddings, graduations, or historic moments: It was a day to remember for the whole family.

Sometimes used ironically for disasters: The pipes burst, the car died, and the dog ran away—quite a day to remember.
