今日は、江端家の結婚記念日です。

Today is the Ebata family's wedding anniversary. Hence,

- 午前の発表会出席のオーダーを却下したのも、

- I also rejected the order to attend the presentation in the morning,

- 午後の会議を途中で抜け出すのも、

- I will get out of an afternoon meeting in the middle of the day,

- 稟議のサポートや報告書でドタバタしているのも、

- I'm also slammed with support for approvals and reports,

- 研究ゼミ生の卒業式や謝恩会に出席できないのも、

- It is also impossible to attend graduation ceremonies and thank-you parties for research seminar students,

ぜんぶ結婚記念日のせいです。

It's all because of our wedding anniversary.

ちなみに、私の嫁さんは、

By the way, my wife always says,

『記念日に、宝飾品なぞ買う金があるなら、高いメシを食うほうがいいに決まっている』

"If you have money to buy jewelry on your anniversary, it's better to eat expensive meals"

という同じポリシーを持つ、長年の同志です。

Hence, she is a long-time comrade who shares the same policy.
