It cannot be otherwise, because two loving hearts will unite into one these days, and all the upcoming moments of happiness, joyful moments, hopes and worries of the newlyweds are already will be divided by two. Weddings are almost always celebrated magnificently, and this celebration, for almost all peoples of the world, is a tradition. Champagne, the kidnapping and ransom of the bride, cheerful cries: “Bitter!” - each of us is familiar with this and has long become attributes of any new wedding.

But not everyone knows that weddings are not only new. Family Day can be celebrated every year, and the husband and wife, who have even a very large marital experience behind them, on this significant day again become newlyweds, inspired by their love. Each such wedding has its own traditions of celebration and its name, their essence is focused on the number of years that the spouses have lived together. Of course, these anniversaries are celebrated if the husband and wife were able to create a fairly strong family union and build harmonious relationships. And if a bad life together, then after 5 years what kind of wedding can be marked with great pleasure and fun? Such a celebration will come out very tense and dull and will bring nothing but regrets about the mistake made then.

Wedding Anniversary Celebration

But ... Let's not talk about sad things. It’s better to talk about what wedding anniversaries are in happy family unions. Such important anniversaries from 1 to 100 years of marriage are celebrated. Wedding anniversaries are celebrated very magnificently and solemnly after the thirty years of marriage, since for those who have lived so many years side by side, one of the most significant moments of life is the first wedding.

Wedding anniversaries have different names. Silver and pearl, gold, copper and glass, leather and wood, calico and paper weddings - there are no other names! Each such name of the wedding anniversary symbolizes something, and each of them means a lot ... For example, a glass wedding is celebrated after fifteen years of marriage, it got its name as a warning that glass can be extraordinarily beautiful, but its easy to break. Therefore, in order to save the family, spouses must become very restrained and attentive to each other.

But a silver wedding is celebrated after twenty-five years lived together - this is already love and devotion, which are time-tested. After all, silver is a precious, strong metal that has incredible life-giving powers.
A very prosaic name for the wedding anniversary, which is celebrated after thirty-five years of marriage, is “linen wedding”. But such a name is also quite justified. Over the years, the family has already become one common organism, which is woven like a sheet of many threads - these are spouses, children, grandchildren, and sometimes great-grandchildren.

Wedding anniversaries that are celebrated after this date have no less significant names. Noble and red, stone and iron, ruby ​​and diamond... Each of these weddings means a certain stage of married life, and each of them, for love, which is time-tested, is a special hymn.

On the wedding anniversary, congratulations are very diverse, but, first of all, they are focused on the type of wedding anniversary. For example, at a calico wedding, which, from the day the family was created, is celebrated a year later, items made of chintz and linen are presented as gifts to anniversaries. On a paper wedding anniversary, after two years of married life, they give spouses souvenirs made of glass and paper. On a copper wedding, which is celebrated after seven years of marriage, they give products that are made of copper, since the family is considered strong, like copper.

A silver wedding means gifts made of silver, and for a pearl wedding, after thirty years lived together, pearl jewelry. On a golden wedding anniversary, of course, they give gold. And for a diamond... It is advisable to give, of course, diamonds, but many of the guests cannot afford such a gift. Therefore, the diamond, golden jubilees and anniversaries that are celebrated after them do not need any special symbolism of gifts. And to give already aged, but, as before, happy newlyweds, you need something that can bring them joy.

For all wedding anniversaries, you can give cards. It’s good that today there are a lot of them for sale, and you can always choose a rather original postcard that will best suit the solemn moment. Of course, the inscriptions in these holiday cards should also be suitable and cheerful, very friendly and certainly focused on the peculiarity of the wedding anniversary. And then such a card will become a bright, memorable gift for the spouses, which they keep all their lives.

In other words, in order to congratulate the anniversaries with dignity, it is not enough to know what wedding anniversary they will celebrate. In order not to miss and not to give, for example, linen towels for a glass wedding anniversary, it is necessary, when choosing a gift, to find out what exactly is presented for such an anniversary. Our tip will serve as a source of such useful information that you can familiarize yourself with, and then, fully armed, boldly go to such a romantic, such an unforgettable holiday.

One of the pleasant traditions that came to us from medieval Germany is attention to every year of the life of the spouses. It's no secret that a successful marriage in harmony is a serious job. And it’s not easy to be always “afloat”.
If earlier wedding anniversaries were tied to numerology, today everything is a little simpler: for each year of living together there is a different type of anniversary and its own tradition. By the way, each anniversary has a non-random "name" - it has its own history and meaning. So!

1 day of living together - Green wedding
Myrtle leaves are the symbol of the young "green" jubilee!

1 year -
The first year of marriage is associated with thin, fragile chintz. That is why the first anniversary is “thin”, when the newlyweds only get to know each other, rub themselves in.

2 years ― Paper (Glass) wedding
Two years are already more serious than chintz, but they still demonstrate the fragility of family life. Paper and glass perfectly reflect this state - fragile, but already flexible.

3 years ― Leather wedding
Already strong family life is "strengthened" by leather - a pliable material, ready for compromises.

4 years - Linen (Wax) wedding
Let not an anniversary, but a serious period of life together is linen - a symbol of longevity, prosperity and strength.

5 years - Wooden wedding
This anniversary is surprisingly the same in almost all countries! You can't tear a tree apart. On the contrary, it symbolizes strength, reliability and confidence. Twigs are associated with replenishment in the family. And, by the way, it is believed that by the fifth anniversary the family should build a wooden house - strong and durable.

6 - Cast iron (Rowan) wedding
Time to pay attention to home and family well-being.

6.5 years - Zinc wedding
Time to clean up!

7 years - Copper wedding
Having a magical meaning, the number 7 never goes unnoticed! Therefore, the spouses, celebrating the seventh anniversary of their life together, should exchange copper coins for success and wealth.

8 years old - Tin wedding
Living soul to soul for 8 years is worthy of a great holiday! The symbol of this date, tin is a durable and refractory material.

9 years - Faience wedding
Faience is a fragile material, as well as relationships, breaking which you can no longer glue.

10 years of wedding - Pink, or Tin wedding
Symbols of the 10th anniversary - rose and tin. The first is prickly, but beautiful and passionate. The second is malleable and holistic. Over the years of family life, of course, it is impossible to avoid all the troubles, but it is important to know that the one who is next to you is reliable and flexible.
Traditionally, on the 10th anniversary of marriage, witnesses are invited to the celebration! The husband carries a pewter spoon in his jacket pocket, and in the evening puts it under his pillow to receive an amulet for good luck.

11 years from the date of the wedding - Steel wedding
May your future life be as strong as steel!

An ideal symbol for 14 years of marriage is a modest agate, which is the best influence on a positive home atmosphere.

15 years of wedding - Glass (Crystal) wedding

Symbolizing virtues, purity and transparency, crystal will not let feelings fade away - they will sparkle and play brighter.

18 years old - Turquoise wedding

20th Anniversary - Porcelain Wedding
Porcelain was not chosen by chance as a symbol of the 20th anniversary. It is this material that carries the great power of nobility. Being fragile, does not tolerate inattentive, mediocre attitude. Elegant, inspires with its beauty and sophistication.

25 years - Silver wedding
A noble anniversary symbolizes no less noble metal!

30 years - Pearl wedding
The impeccable union of spouses who have lived in harmony for 30 years can only symbolize pure and precious pearls that never grow dull. According to tradition, the spouses begin with a kind of ritual.
They go to any body of water and throw pearls into the water, while saying the words: "How long the beads will be in the water, so much we will live together." At home in front of a mirror, a married couple swear eternal love and exchange gifts. The husband gives a necklace of 30 beads, and the wife gives cufflinks or a tie clip with pearls.

34 years old - Amber wedding
Having lived together for 34 years, the couple collected a kind of box of memories, pleasant moments and events. Amber will keep and protect them.

Why cedar? Everything is simple! It is the cedar - an ancient and powerful tree - that symbolizes life, kind, roots.

55 years - Emerald wedding
The symbol of the 55th anniversary is the emerald, celebrating life, immortality and youth.

60 years - Diamond (Diamond) wedding
A diamond is a desirable stone, amazingly beautiful, luxurious. It is he who reflects a serious anniversary better than others, since over 60 years of marriage, everyone wiped themselves and created an ideal union. It is he who demonstrates what is worth striving for. On the 60th anniversary, the heroes of the occasion traditionally leave a message to their descendants in the form of a letter, which is kept until the specified time.

The march of Mendelssohn and the toasts of the guests faded away, the wedding dress and veil were hidden in the closet, only joyful memories, photographs and a video recording one of the happiest and most memorable days in life remained. But this day will be special all my life, and in order to give it even more significance and symbolism, people gave the name to almost every wedding anniversary.

green wedding

This is not yet an anniversary, but the wedding itself. In the first year of marriage, this date can be celebrated every month.

According to tradition, young people are given a lot of flowers at a wedding - so they have become a symbol of a green wedding.

Instead of a bouquet, you can give a miniature tree or houseplant- as a symbol of home comfort. And on this day, young spouses can plant their first family tree together.

1 wedding anniversary (1 year). Chintz (gauze) wedding

First anniversary of marriage. Exactly a year has passed, during which young people got to know each other, equipped their home nest. This is a very difficult period: not all discoveries can be pleasant, and everyday problems and life can significantly overshadow family happiness. Feelings are tested for strength by severe tests, and not all of them are destined to pass them. Therefore, the first anniversary is called chintz (gauze): after all, chintz and gauze are very “delicate” fabrics that are easily torn even at the slightest tension.

What is customary to give for a cotton wedding? Any home textile made of chintz - bedding sets, towels, tablecloths with napkins, curtains, etc.

Wedding anniversary 2 years. paper wedding

second year of marriage. Strength testing continues. Very often, in the second year, a baby appears in the family, which adds difficulties and problems. Will the couple be able to keep their love and become a support for each other? The symbol of this anniversary is paper and glass - fragile and fragile materials that are easy to break or break - as well as relationships in a young family.

On the "paper" anniversary, it is customary to give photo albums, glassware sets, vases, books, money and lottery tickets.

Wedding anniversary 3 years. leather wedding

Leather is stronger than chintz and paper. For three years, the family has grown stronger, having passed the first, most difficult stage of "lapping". As they say, the couple learned to "feel each other's skin."

On the third wedding anniversary, the spouses give each other bags, wallets, belts, gloves and shoes made of leather. Parents can present leather furniture to children. A gift in the form of a leather suitcase is also symbolic: the time has come for the couple to think about the second honeymoon trip!

Works of the leather goods workshop of Sergei Neskromny (Almaty).

Wedding anniversary 4 years. Linen (wax) wedding

It's been 4 years since the wedding. Linen and wax are symbols of the well-being of an already strong family. TO fourth anniversary can be given any linen products: bed linen, table textiles, linen curtains, towels - they will last for many years, reminding you of the sincerity of feelings and wishes for good and happiness.

And also, according to tradition, on this day a couple of beautiful flickering candles must be on the festive table.

Wedding anniversary 5 years. wooden wedding

The tree has long been a symbol of strength. So a wooden wedding confirms the reliability and stability of family relationships.

To the wooden anniversary guests, wishing spouses a lasting marriage and a warm, cozy home, give dishes, spoons, caskets, furniture and interior items, figurines, wooden ornaments or photo frames.

One of the obligatory rituals for a 5-year wedding anniversary is the planting of a family tree. This will be your family tree, your talisman, it will need to be looked after. It is good if you have your own plot, cottage or garden. Otherwise, it will be quite difficult to observe this custom.

• maple
• Rowan- a talisman against evil will, the evil eye;

Wedding anniversary 6 years. cast iron wedding

Cast iron is an alloy, though hard, but rather brittle. So the relationship in a couple only seems indestructible, but in fact they are “afraid” of blows and quarrels.

6.5 years. Zinc wedding

Wedding anniversary 7 years. Copper (woolen) wedding

Seven is a lucky number. And copper is the first "noble" metal in the calendar of wedding anniversaries. The spouses still have everything ahead - they can melt their relationship and give it a completely different shape, but this will not break or break it.

On this day, the spouses exchange copper coins - so that family happiness is ringing. But parents and guests can present as a gift a horseshoe, copper or brass dishes, candlesticks, trays, spoons, or (in accordance with the second name of the date) a blanket, bedspread, woolen blanket.

Wedding anniversary 8 years. Tin wedding

Shiny tin is a symbol of renewal and novelty of relationships, as well as their strength and solidity. The house already has a certain wealth and children. The couple learned to lift each other up and give in, showing flexibility.

What to give for the 8th wedding anniversary? Electrical appliances, interior items, furniture, kitchen utensils - this will help the spouses to update not only the relationship, but also the environment. You can also present sweets, tea or coffee in tin boxes.

There is another, not so well-known name for this anniversary - poppy. It means that the feelings between the spouses are as bright as this flower. So the main dish at the festive feast on this day, of course, should be poppy seed pie!

Wedding anniversary 9 years. Faience (chamomile) wedding
