Anniversaries of family life by years. Names of wedding anniversaries

The first anniversary of family life is print wedding. In the old days, chintz was valued for its thinness and lightness, at the same time being considered an everyday and inexpensive material. So the young family has not yet gained strength, but romance in relationships has already begun to be replaced by everyday life.

And what is your anniversary?

A wedding anniversary is a special day in the life of every couple. This date always brings people to the wedding day, refreshing the feelings of the spouses and filling the hearts with joy. Most married couples regularly celebrate their wedding anniversary, this is a kind of family tradition. Therefore, in order to properly organize a holiday, choose gifts for anniversaries, you should know the names of wedding anniversaries.

Green wedding.
The first day of the wedding and all other days during the first year of married life is called the green wedding. The name itself symbolizes the freshness and purity of the young spouses. During the first year of marriage after registration, the anniversary date can be celebrated monthly or even every week, celebrating the day of marriage each during the first month. Myrtle wreath (myrtle tree) was considered a symbol of a green wedding. Nowadays, leaves in the bride's wedding wreath, leaves in the bride's bouquet and a flower in the groom's boutonniere are considered the symbols of a green wedding.

Chintz wedding - 1 year.
The first wedding anniversary is considered calico. There is also another name for it - gauze. The name of this wedding anniversary has a double meaning. Conservative sources indicate that during the first year of marriage after marriage, relationships are compared with chintz as the most fragile fabric, since young people are just getting to know each other better. Among the people, the first year of marriage was symbolized by the extremely active actions of the spouses in bed, which led to the wear of bed linen from chintz to the state of gauze. Hence the double name. Therefore, as a rule, on the first wedding anniversary, spouses are given calico products: handkerchiefs, bed linen, aprons, heart-shaped pillows.

Paper wedding - 2 years.
Two years of marriage after marriage is called a paper wedding. The name of this wedding put a comparison of the relationship between the wife with easily torn paper. The explanation for this is quite simple. As a rule, in most families a child appeared in the second year of life, and this is the appearance of fatigue, various worries and problems. Therefore, during this period, married life is no longer presented in the form of continuous pleasures. The constant fatigue and irritability of the spouses leaves its mark on relationships that become like paper, so fragile. Therefore, guests invited to the celebration of a paper wedding usually replenish the stocks of paper in the family of the spouses: they give photo albums, books, paintings, calendars, etc. in addition, you can give plastic gifts and furniture.

Leather wedding - 3 years.
Three years of life after the wedding is considered the first significant event in the life of young spouses, since since the relationship was not terminated during the paper wedding, it means that they have grown stronger, and the spouses have learned to get along with each other. And since leather is a symbol of flexibility, this material gave the name to this wedding. As a rule, on the leather anniversary, guests gave leather goods. Nowadays, the assortment leather goods diverse, starting with furniture trimmed with leather, ending with a leather purse.

Linen wedding - 4 years.
The fourth wedding anniversary is called the linen (wax) wedding. It was believed that after four years of living together, the relationship to the home, family, and not the relationship between spouses, becomes the main thing. Since flax was a symbol of prosperity and security, therefore, the presence in the house of products made from it was considered a certain investment of the spouses in the future. Therefore, corresponding to the symbol of the wedding anniversary, it is customary for spouses to give linen towels, tablecloths, bedspreads, etc. A linen wedding should be celebrated with the obligatory presence of wax candles.

Wooden wedding - 5 years.
Five years of married life is the first significant anniversary of the spouses and is called a wooden wedding. A five-year marriage was compared to a wooden house, a solidly built structure, which was still threatened by fires or family quarrels. It was considered a good sign to plant a tree on the fifth anniversary. The planted tree was considered a symbol of the strength of the family hearth, which is not subject to any adversity. The fifth anniversary is celebrated in the most thorough way, although the gifts on this anniversary are not the most expensive - simple woodwork.

Cast iron wedding - 6 years.
The six years that the spouses lived together from the day of the wedding were called a cast-iron wedding. There are several versions of the name of this anniversary, according to one of which it is believed that during this period the relationship between spouses is already strong, like metal, but cast iron is a fragile metal, so relationships, like this metal, can be destroyed by a strong blow. Another version of the name "cast iron" is to glorify the fortress of the family hearth. Previously, on the date of the sixth anniversary of the wedding, the wives polished all the cast-iron dishes in the house to a shine, and proudly put them on display for passers-by. As a gift, it is recommended to give on cast iron wedding cast iron pans, pots or grates. Of course, in our time, cast iron products are not entirely relevant, but tradition is tradition.

Zinc wedding - 6.5 years.
A zinc wedding is an incomplete anniversary. It is celebrated six and a half years after the wedding. This "anniversary" is not celebrated by everyone, it does not carry any meaning and significance. But the name still exists.

Copper (woolen) wedding - 7 years.

Although it is no longer just a metal, it is still not noble or precious. Previously, spouses exchanged copper coins on the day of the seventh wedding anniversary. In our time, on such a day, it is customary to give spouses decorative cups, candlesticks, chasing and other handicrafts.

Tin wedding - 8 years.
It is believed that after eight years of married life, family relationships are renewed. Sparkling tin acts as a symbol of renewal, therefore, on the day of a tin wedding, it is customary to present as a gift any kitchen utensils, tin utensils, as well as everything that at least somehow resembles it - sweets in tin boxes, tea, etc. In addition, everything that can be considered a symbol of the renewal of the hearth, for example, furnishings, apartment renovation, can act as a gift.

Faience wedding - 9 years.
The ninth wedding anniversary is called a faience wedding. There are two versions of why this anniversary got such a name. One version claims that every year family relationships become stronger and stronger, just like good tea or earthenware cups filled with tea serve as a symbol of the beauty of marital relationships. Another version of the version says that after nine years of living together, the spouses begin a very fragile period, like faience, for their relationship. Therefore, on the anniversary of a faience wedding, you can give both a tea set and faience dishes or crystal.

The tenth wedding anniversary symbolizes the inviolability of the strong bonds of the spouses, therefore, beautiful romantic things are presented as a gift for a pink wedding. For example, roses, which are often given to spouses by all guests. The husband also gives his wife 11 roses: ten red as a symbol of love and one white as a symbol of hope for the next decade. It is good if the elements of pink symbolism (color, pattern) are included in the details of clothing, interior, table decoration.

Thirteen years of marriage is celebrated as a lily-of-the-valley wedding. She has another name - lace. This anniversary is accompanied by the theme of love, tender harmonious relationships.
