They say June 12 is koibito no hi (恋人の日), Day of Lovers. In Brazil it is the eve of the death anniversary of the marriage god, Antonio who died in 1193. They have a custom to send the photoframes between couples. San Paulo Commercial Association made the day as Dia dos Namorados on June 12, 1952.
In Japan it was established by Zenkoku gakubuchi kumiai rengokai (全国額縁組合連語会),National Frame Union Federation in 1988.
In Japanese we often call boyfriend as kareshi (彼氏) or kare (彼), and girlfriend as kanojo (彼女). But young people prefer mentioning aikata (相方) for both side these days.
Fiance is konyakusha (婚約者) or fianse (フィアンセ) or iinazuke (許婚). Husband is otto (夫) or danna (旦那), or shujin (主人). Wife is tsuma (妻) or kanai (家内).
