Answer

To determine the day Stephen will celebrate his marriage anniversary, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the date of the marriage anniversary
We know that Stephen's birthday is on 2nd April, and his marriage anniversary is 2 days before the 23rd of April.

- Calculate the date of the marriage anniversary:
- 23rd April - 2 days = 21st April

### Step 2: Determine the day of the week for the marriage anniversary
We know that 2nd April is a Wednesday. We will find out the day of the week for 21st April by counting the number of days between these two dates.

- Count the days from 2nd April to 21st April:
- From 2nd to 9th April = 7 days (still Wednesday)
- From 9th to 16th April = 7 days (still Wednesday)
- From 16th to 23rd April = 7 days (still Wednesday)

Now, we need to count the days from 16th April to 21st April:
- From 16th to 17th = 1 day
- From 17th to 18th = 2 days
- From 18th to 19th = 3 days
- From 19th to 20th = 4 days
- From 20th to 21st = 5 days

So, from 16th April (Wednesday) to 21st April, we have counted 5 days.

### Step 3: Calculate the day of the week for 21st April
- Starting from Wednesday (16th April):
- 17th April = Thursday
- 18th April = Friday
- 19th April = Saturday
- 20th April = Sunday
- 21st April = Monday

Thus, 21st April is a Monday.

### Conclusion
Stephen will celebrate his marriage anniversary on **Monday, 21st April**.
