Two loving hearts will definitely want to unite into a single whole, to become more than just a couple, they will want to become a family. Marriage is traditionally accompanied by a wonderful celebration - a wedding. Almost all peoples of the globe celebrate this beautiful, magical, unforgettable event in a magnificent, stormy, fun and bright way.

Happy, elegant newlyweds, guests joyfully shouting “Bitter!”, champagne, cars decorated with ribbons and balloons and many other different interesting traditions that have already become symbols of every wedding. But the celebration is coming to an end, the guests are leaving, and the newlyweds, already in the status of husband and wife, set off to build a family.

This is only the first wedding. The birthday of a new family can be celebrated more than once. Every year, spouses, inspired by feelings and memories, celebrate this event alone or with family and friends. These are also weddings that have their own names, attributes and traditions of celebration, and they depend on the number of years the husband and wife have lived together.

Of course, anniversaries are celebrated in a harmonious family, by people who have put their best into building a strong family. It is obvious that in a family where the spouses do not live well, these anniversaries will not be celebrated with a smile on their faces. Everything about this holiday will be unnatural, with artificial fun and implausible smiles, and the thoughts of the heroes of the occasion will be directed towards sadness and regret about the years spent together.

names of wedding anniversaries by year, table

Not everyone knows that the day itself on which the wedding takes place already has a name. Its name is “green wedding”. In this case, “greenery” symbolizes the youth and inexperience of the newlyweds. In addition, greens are always fresh, light, but at the same time something not fully ripe and not very fragile.

Based on the name of the wedding anniversary, it is customary to give gifts; it is for this reason (most likely) that it is customary to give currency on the wedding day (that is, on the “green wedding”). It is dollar bills that should bring the newlyweds financial well-being and fortune in their married life. However, this is not an established rule at all and is just a tradition.

A green wedding is celebrated during the first year of marriage after marriage.

And its celebration begins on the wedding day. Her symbol is considered to be myrtle leaves in a wedding crown. And it is called that for one simple reason - the relative youth of the relationship and the inexperience of the spouses themselves. Probably everyone has heard the expression “young and green”?

Green color is traditionally associated with inexperience, innocence, purity and freshness of those getting married. They have just entered adult family life, but their feelings are innocent, pure and fresh, like a freshly blossoming leaf on a reviving tree in the spring.

A green wedding is celebrated after 1 month from the date of marriage, and this can be done not only in 1 month, but also in all subsequent months, and so on until the 11th month. These small holidays have long since taken root with us, and a large number of newlyweds are happy to make notches on the journey of life together, delighting each other with attention and love.

Table of weddings distributed by year from 1 to 10

Wedding anniversary	Anniversary name	Anniversary Features
1 year	chintz wedding	Anniversary received this name only because this material is valued for its special subtlety, lightness, and transparency. This fabric is quite everyday, not expensive, but fragile: it is easy to tear and damage. It is compared to romantic feelings, because after one year of marriage the couple tries everyday life and often loses their feelings. At a chintz wedding, it is customary to drink a bottle of champagne, knitted at the wedding.
2 years	paper wedding	Paper is also a rather fragile material and that is why the second anniversary has such a name. Literally, you can compare marriage to paper like this: “It is strong when the “paper” is folded in several layers. This suggests that joint efforts, understanding and children strengthen the union of a young family and make it strong.
3 years	leather wedding	Our ancestors gave this anniversary such a name because at that time material such as leather was very valued and expensive. Compared to chintz and paper, leather is much stronger, which suggests that the lovers went through the difficulties of the first years of marriage and found harmony in which they built their happy life.
4 years	linen wedding	Linen fabric is considered a fairly noble and pleasant material, which is not cheap and is considered prestigious, having many positive properties. In the old days, ropes were woven from flax, and often the 4th anniversary of marriage was also called “rope”. Our ancestors believed that in the 4th year of marriage, the spouses should be given a test: tie them with linen ropes and if they get out of them smoothly, this is a good omen, symbolizing a long, happy marriage.
5 years	wooden wedding	The anniversary received this name for a reason. The tree has long been a symbol of fertility, and by the fifth year of marriage, the newlyweds must have a child. When two lovers have their first child, they literally “take root” and find a strong union between each other. The tree also symbolizes the house and furniture in which a young family finds comfort.
6 years	cast iron wedding	Cast iron is a fairly strong metal, but it is also symbolized by its fragility, because if you drop a cast iron thing, it will definitely have a dent that cannot be fixed. Likewise, a marriage at this stage of life remains strong only when both spouses treat each other with care.
7 years	copper wedding	Copper is valued as an expensive metal, but it is not considered and does not belong to the noble metal. For this reason, the young people understood how long they still had to live in harmony and understanding and try not to worsen their marriage.
8 years	tin wedding	Tin is a fairly strong and heat-resistant metal. These are the characteristics that a family has at this stage of married life. Tin, like both spouses, having lived for 8 years in harmony and harmony, are full of warmth and have perseverance.
9 years	faience wedding	Material such as earthenware has always been valued and always considered noble. It symbolizes family as something “pure, perfect and beautiful”, but fragile. Therefore, spouses need to be extremely careful to preserve their feelings.
10 years	tin wedding	Tin is a strong and flexible metal, symbolizing spouses as people capable of giving in and adapting to each other.

wedding anniversaries by year

Table of weddings distributed by year from 11 to 20

Wedding anniversary	Anniversary name	Anniversary Features
11 years	steel wedding	A very symbolic name, since marriage (just like steel) undergoes a special “hardening” and after this only the death of one of the spouses can break a strong union.
12 years	nickel wedding	This metal also symbolizes the nobility, uniqueness and strength of the union, which has passed many tests and remained strong.
13 years	lace wedding	The number “13” has long been considered unfavorable, and in order to somehow brighten up this date, as well as distract everything negative from it, it was given the name “lace”, that is, symbolizing lightness, beauty, romance and fun.
14 years	agate wedding	Agate is considered an expensive stone, but at the same time it is not considered very expensive and is quite affordable. Likewise, marital relationships at this stage already deserve to be considered strong, but they still need to go a long way to achieve a high rating.
15 years	glass wedding	In addition to the fact that glass is a fairly fragile material that is easy to break, it is also a symbol of purity. At this stage of life, spouses acquire a fairly smooth relationship, transparent and strong.
16 years	has no name	not noted
17 years	has no name	not noted
18 years	turquoise wedding	It also symbolizes one of the expensive stones - turquoise. It is not uncommon at this time that the first child grows up and the parents receive a new “fresh as turquoise” stage in their lives.
19 years	krypton wedding	Krypton symbolizes not only light, it is a kind of symbol of purity. So in marriage, after living together for 19 years, spouses become one and illuminate each other’s lives.
20 years	porcelain wedding	This material has long been considered elite and was not available in every home. It symbolizes comfort, prosperity, warmth and a good harmonious atmosphere in the family.

According to ancient customs, it is not customary to celebrate 16th and 17th wedding anniversaries. If you study this issue in detail, it is almost impossible to find an unambiguous solution and a truthful source. Unlike other countries, it was bad luck for the Slavs to celebrate these dates and that is why they do not have names.

21 years old	Opal wedding	Named after a beautiful stone - opal. It is highly valued and symbolizes a strong, kind and understanding relationship between spouses.

24 years	Satin wedding	Satin is a beautiful and soft, festive material. That is why relationships after 24 years of marriage are considered just as beautiful.
25 years	silver wedding	The first major anniversary, which is usually celebrated magnificently. Silver is a noble and expensive metal; this is how relationships for 25 years of marriage are symbolized.
26 years	Jade wedding	It is also considered beautiful, durable and unique, like the expensive jade stone.

It is simply not possible for both spouses to live to see anniversaries such as 70, 80, 90 and even 100 years. However, if there are names for these anniversaries, then it is worth concluding that in life there were still special long-livers who became a kind of “veterans of marriage.”

What to give your wife for a chintz wedding

You should not give girls overly practical gifts like frying pans on such a date. The lady may be at least offended, regarding this approach as inattention to her own person and lack of importance of the relationship. It is also better not to pay off with money, showing indifference. Ladies are sensitive to this approach and offense can follow immediately. In order to maintain the strength of relationships, it is important to approach the issue of choosing a gift more carefully and take into account the following possible options:

It's no secret that most women are sensitive to the state of their wardrobe. Therefore, a certificate for an impressive amount to your wife’s favorite store would not be amiss. If a man is confident in his knowledge of taste, he can independently choose the thing that his woman needs. Also remembering that within 14 days you can return an item to any store and exchange it if it does not fit the size or other criteria;
intimate lingerie, but if a lady is too sensitive to this issue and prefers to choose the details herself, it is better to abandon the idea. Otherwise, she may perceive the gift as a lack of her sexuality;
a beautiful cotton nightgown, especially if you are planning an evening together;
box for cosmetics or jewelry storage;
a trip to a place that a girl has long dreamed of. Preferably joint;
a box of sweets in her favorite format;
a set of tea or coffee according to the wife’s preferences.

You can also choose a certificate for a desired photo shoot or course as a gift. Education will never be superfluous, even in the form of a gift.

How are marriage anniversaries celebrated?

As a rule, all anniversaries of marriage require some kind of attention. The exception is those that are considered a bad omen to celebrate.

You can decide on the anniversary celebration based on the name of the anniversary itself, but this is not fundamental and does not have much significance.

The first anniversary, namely the “Cintz Wedding,” is always an event. It is customary to celebrate it with those close people who were present at the wedding itself: parents, witnesses, friends and relatives.

Not celebrating the first anniversary is considered bad manners and bad manners. On this day, one of the two bottles of champagne, which was associated at the wedding itself, is opened. It is customary to drink a second bottle with parents to celebrate the birth of their first child.

There are no clear instructions on where and how to celebrate the anniversary. The main thing is to set a good table, invite guests and celebrate the event. If the weather permits, most often the anniversary is celebrated outdoors (as it is accessible, inexpensive and festive). Renting a cafe will be more solemn; every guest will prepare for such an event and look forward to it.
