Wedding anniversaries

Introduction
There are personal events which are life-changing, and perhaps one of the most important is getting married. It is human nature to celebrate the longevity of such events yearly as the same date comes around again each year. And this is why the wedding anniversary is such an institution.

It might be argued with a certain cynicism that the celebration is a "wow, they made it to another year" – a view which becomes less "surprised" as the years go on.

Hence the early years seem more important, and later only the major landmarks are noted. Until once past the fifty years the surprise comes back – the surprise that they are both still alive.

But without the cynicism celebrating something happy is a good thing. So with that in mind we have details of the various celebrations for wedding anniversaries, a history of the different materials associated with each year, and ideas for wedding anniversary gifts, plus ideas and poems for the wedding anniversary party.

In the right hand column are the traditional items associated with each wedding anniversary year.

Don't wait for a traditional date to celebrate your anniversary though!
