A wedding is one of the most exciting events in our life, a magical and unforgettable event, beautiful and extremely romantic ... It cannot be otherwise, because two loving hearts are united these days into a single whole, and all the upcoming joys, hopes, worries and moments of happiness are young Husband and wife will already be divided in half. Weddings are lavishly celebrated almost always, and this celebration is traditional for almost all peoples of the world. Champagne, the kidnapping of the bride and her ransom, cheerful cries: “Bitter!” - all this is familiar to each of us and has long become the attributes of each new wedding.
However, not every one of us knows that weddings are not only new. The day of the creation of a family union can be celebrated annually, and the husband and wife, who already have even a very solid marital experience behind them, on this day again become newlyweds inspired by their love. Each such wedding has its own name and its own traditions of celebration, the essence of which is focused on the number of years the spouses have lived together. Of course, these anniversaries are celebrated if the husband and wife managed to build harmonious relationship and created quite strong family. With a bad life together after 5 years, what kind of wedding can be celebrated with fun and great pleasure? Such a holiday will come out tense and dull and will not bring anything but the bitterness of regrets about a mistake that was once made.
But ... Let's not talk about sad things. It’s better to talk about what wedding anniversaries are in happy families. Such anniversaries are celebrated from 1 to 100 years of married life. Wedding anniversaries are celebrated especially magnificently and solemnly after thirty years of marriage, because for those who have lived side by side for so many years, the first wedding becomes one of the most significant moments of life.
Wedding anniversaries have all sorts of names. Chintz and paper, leather and wood, copper and glass, gold, silver and pearl weddings - what is there! Each name of the wedding anniversary is symbolic, and each of these names means a lot ... For example, the glass wedding, which is celebrated fifteen years after the marriage, got its name as a warning that glass can be extraordinarily beautiful, but it breaks easily. Therefore, spouses, in order to save the family, need to become especially restrained and attentive.
But the silver wedding, celebrated twenty-five years after the first wedding, is already time-tested love and devotion. After all, silver is a precious, strong metal with life-giving powers.
A very prosaic name for the anniversary, which is celebrated after thirty-five years of family life, is “linen wedding”. However, it is also quite justified. During this period, the family becomes already a single organism, woven, as in a canvas, from many threads - spouses, children, grandchildren, and sometimes great-grandchildren.
Wedding anniversaries, which are celebrated after this period, are named no less meaningfully. Ruby and diamond, stone and iron, noble and red… Each of these anniversaries means certain stage married life, and each of them is a kind of hymn to time-tested love.
On wedding anniversaries, congratulations are different, and they are focused primarily on the appearance of the anniversary. For example, at a chintz wedding, which is celebrated a year after the wedding, anniversaries are presented with items made of chintz and linen as gifts. For a paper wedding, two years after marriage, gifts to spouses must be made of glass and paper. On a copper wedding, celebrated seven years after the marriage, things made of copper are given, the family is considered strong, like copper.
A silver wedding as gifts means silver items, and for a pearl wedding, thirty years after the wedding, pearl jewelry. Gold is given for a golden wedding. And for a diamond one... It is desirable to give, of course, diamonds, but not every guest can afford such gifts. Therefore, diamond, gold weddings and weddings that are celebrated after them do not require any special symbolism of gifts. And to present already fairly aged, but still happy newlyweds, you can do everything that brings joy to the anniversaries.
You can give cards for all wedding anniversaries. Fortunately, today there are a great many of them on sale, and, if desired, you can always choose a very original postcard that best suits the solemn moment. Of course, the inscriptions in these postcards should also be suitable: cheerful, very friendly and certainly focused on the peculiarity of the anniversary. And then the card will become a bright, memorable surprise for the anniversaries, which they keep all their lives. For example, you can write such a beautiful congratulation:
Where is the elixir for happiness, to know!
How can you live with more love?
Today is the wedding anniversary
Happy Anniversary!
Through boredom, timeless years,
Through storms and tribulations
The couple took it...
For that - not an edge, not a part,
And full of living happiness
We wish, truly - everything!
How young and fresh you both are -
Advice and love to you - from the heart!!!
In other words, in order to adequately congratulate the anniversaries, it is not enough to know which wedding anniversary will be celebrated. In order not to get into trouble and not to give, for example, linen towels for a glass wedding, it is advisable, when choosing a gift, to get an idea of what exactly is presented for this anniversary.

On this day, husband and wife change their wedding rings for new ones, because in 50 years the original ones have already worn out.
