Wedding
anniversaries.
The celebration of wedding anniversaries is a tradition of heathen
origin.
These remembrances concern only certain
anniversaries, namely the silver wedding for the anniversary of 25 wedding years, the golden wedding for 50 wedding years and the diamond wedding for 75 wedding
years.

But we can celebrate it the others, by tracking down symbolic terms, as the first
anniversary (cotton wedding), the tenth (tin) or twentieth (china).
These qualifiers for each of the intermediate years between the marriage and the golden wedding, are widely
fanciful.
Although it is there, it will be a good occasion to party: a meal to the restaurant alone together or with some bosom friends, or a full of life evening at home.
Sirs, you should not especially forget to offer, every year, at least a bouquet to your wife: if you forget this remembrance,
she will be there, credibly very angry!
A meaningful way to
celebrate your wedding anniversary is to renew your marriage vows. Some
couples renew their vows yearly, others, like us, renew vows every few
years. Some couples throw a party and make a big deal out of it, others
keep the vow renewal private, just between the two of them. (From
