Every couple of newlyweds dreams of living together for the rest of their lives and enthusiastically celebrates the birthday of their family every year. There are a lot of signs and customs regarding the celebration of wedding anniversaries. They can be observed, they can not be observed, but one thing is invariable - on this day the whole family and friends gather, congratulate the heroes of the occasion, give symbolic (or not) gifts. The spouses themselves also do not forget to congratulate each other, kiss and once again remind how they love each other.

Few people know what weddings are (except, of course, the well-known golden one), so often the celebration consists only of a feast and congratulations. But there are a lot of signs and traditions that were not in vain invented by our ancestors. Yes, and the names of weddings are not just a fictional character, each has its own psychological aspect. The more years the young people lived together, the “stronger” the name of the anniversary. For example, a "glass" wedding hints at the fragility of a 15-year-old love relationship. When faced with a crisis, spouses should treasure their love as much as the glassware given to them on their fifteenth anniversary.

What wedding anniversaries are

The wedding itself (zero anniversary) is called “green”, denoting the youth of the bride and groom, as well as their families, with this color. All year until the first anniversary, everything is young-green, still fresh and unfamiliar.

• first anniversary- "calico". In honor of the first birthday of the family, young people and their guests traditionally drink a bottle of champagne, stored up from the wedding day. Chintz, as you know, is not the most durable material. Thus, they made it clear to the young that no matter what troubles happened during this time, this is just the so-called “grinding in”: the spouses are only taking the first steps towards each other, learning to accept each other and find compromises. Therefore, their marriage is not yet completely strong, "calico". There is another version of why the wedding is called calico. This is due to the active intimate life of newly married people. Therefore, on the anniversary, guests give new cotton bed linen: the old one has probably already worn out.
  
• Second anniversary- "paper". Information about what weddings are by year is often contradictory and can be misleading. It would seem that they lived another year, and for some reason the wedding is paper: but paper is even more fragile than chintz. And this is due to the fact that at this time a child usually appears in the family, which adds trouble to the young family (but first of all, of course, joy). However, as our wise ancestors knew, not all marriages stand this test, and by the second anniversary, the spouses have already quarreled more than once and tried to collect things. And this is not due to the fact that people got married unsuccessfully. This is a normal period in the life of the family, so to speak, the transition to a new stage. Families that successfully pass this stage become doubly strong.
• third anniversary- "leather". Leather is already much stronger than chintz and paper. And this means that, having gone through all the difficulties and trials of the first two years, the family has finally reached its first significant date. Like soft skin, the spouses became more accommodating, learned to adapt to each other, their relationship became more flexible.
• fourth anniversary- "linen". By the fourth birthday of the family, the spouses already acquired property and, first of all, linen tablecloths, which speak of the family's prosperity and are more expensive than cotton sheets. Hence the interesting name. This anniversary is also called "wax". Perhaps for the same reason as leather, because wax is a soft, pliable material.
• Fifth anniversary- "wooden". If we talk about what wedding anniversaries are, this five-year first anniversary can be called the most "stormy". The couple is still very young, full of strength and desire to celebrate the anniversary to the fullest. Some wives even put on their own and. Wood is a durable material, you can build a house and even a whole fortress from it. But for the time being, such a strong wooden structure as a young family must be wary of fires. If the spouses plant a tree on the fifth anniversary, it will grow powerful, strong and survive all bad weather, bringing good luck and abundance to the family.
  
• sixth anniversary- "cast iron". Here is the first "metal" of marriage. Relationships are already so strong that they can be called metallic. But cast iron is not yet strong enough to withstand everything. It can be easily broken with a strong blow. And this means that the spouses still have something to fear and relax too early.
• seventh anniversary- "copper". Copper is a beautiful, durable and valuable material, as are family relationships between spouses. Let it not be a precious metal yet, but 7 years of marriage is already an achievement, congratulate each other from the bottom of your heart. Copper also indicates the financial situation of the family. The children have already grown up, the spouses have acquired everything necessary, they have adjusted their life, things have gone uphill.
• eighth anniversary- "tin". Being interested in what weddings are, their names, people stop at the word "tin" and put a negative meaning into it, whether it's inexpensive metal or modern youth slang. However, here we mean such a quality of tin as shine. The relations of the spouses acquire a kind of gloss, are transformed, sparkle with all their facets.

• twenty sixth anniversary- "jade". The union, which has lasted 26 years, is already practically indestructible, as is the incredibly durable jade.
• twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth anniversaries are not marked.
• twenty ninth anniversary- "velvet". It is not difficult to guess why velvet served as a symbol of 29 years of life. This is a rich, expensive, beautiful and refined material, as valuable and beautiful as the union of two people who have approached their thirty-year family anniversary.
• thirtieth anniversary- "pearl". As storms and waves polish real pearls, so life’s adversities only make marriage stronger and more beautiful. Pearls are not only beautiful, they are also durable, do not fade over time and are incredibly valuable.
• thirty-first anniversary- "dark". Among the many enumerations of weddings whose names usually mean some kind of material, this anniversary is somewhat surprising. It can be assumed that swarthy, tan implies hardening, under which wrinkles and difficulties of the past years are hidden.
• thirty second anniversary wedding is not celebrated.

What are the weddings by year: what to give for each anniversary

Whether to give the heroes of the occasion symbolic gifts according to traditions, or opt for something useful in everyday life or just cute - it's up to you. The main thing is to show your creativity to the fullest. Of course, it is not necessary to cut through the whole city in search of cast iron, steel or nickel things.

If finances allow, you can give real pearls, jewelry made of gold, sapphires and diamonds. Such gifts are not only symbolic and touching, they allow you to express the love of spouses for each other (for example, when a husband gives a pearl necklace to his wife for his 30th birthday).

If the anniversary is called "dark", do not rush to buy self-tanning cream or a subscription to the solarium. People over 50 do not like such gifts. Better buy something cute, but hinting at feelings. For example, a figurine of cooing doves or crystal glasses with their image. Children can give a ticket to hot countries. This is both symbolic and incredibly pleasing to the spouses.

After analyzing the information about what kind of weddings are, at what age the spouses celebrate this or that date, we can conclude that the more years the spouses have lived together, the more difficult it is for them to choose a gift. They have already acquired everything, finally adjusted their life, so it would be useful to show imagination. Let the gift be inexpensive, but romantic and sincere. For example, for a platinum wedding, instead of incredibly expensive platinum jewelry, you can collect photos of the couple from the wedding and make a movie from the most memorable moments of their lives. Watching such a movie will be pleasant for both guests and heroes of the occasion.

For an emerald wedding, you can give something emerald. For example, a photo frame decorated with green rhinestones, and insert a collage of family photos from different years into it.
