Wedding anniversary names. Discover the complete list
The wedding anniversary names reveal a process of transformation in the loving bond that, like a kind of alchemical journey, assigns changing meanings to the relationship. Do you already know all the wedding anniversary names? Discover the complete list and the precious recommended gifts.
From 1 to 5. The lightness of a bond yet to be built
The first wedding anniversary is represented by the paper anniversary, symbolizing the lightness and carefreeness of a bond recently sealed. The ideal gift is a watch, a sign of a union that does not fade with the years. The attribute of freshness also characterizes the entry into the second year, that of the cotton anniversary, while it is in the following year that the foundations are laid for a relationship that begins to be flexible and strong, like leather. Next comes linen which, combining naturalness and strength, paves the way for wood, a sturdy emblem of the fifth wedding anniversary.
From 6 to 10. A crescendo of stability and durability
Next we find iron, the personification of strength and tenacity. The seventh anniversary, called the wool or copper anniversary, instead refers to a true turning point, a return to the essentials of things. But beware of superstition: the number seven is also considered the year of crisis. It is once we reach the bronze anniversary (8) and the ceramic anniversary (9) that the relationship has become stable and taken shape. And here we are finally at 10, the first "round" number. The suggested gift for the aluminium or tin anniversary is the diamond. Discover the meanings and symbols of the diamond.
Names from 15 to 75. The most important wedding anniversaries
From the 15th to the 75th anniversary, the occasions become true milestones. Let us proceed by highlighting the most important wedding anniversary names:
- 15th anniversary: crystal anniversary. Beautiful but fragile, it is a milestone that must be handled with care. As with the paper anniversary, it is also appreciated on this occasion to give or receive a wristwatch as a gift.
- 20th anniversary: porcelain anniversary. To preserve the marriage, it must be nurtured, with each caring for the other's needs. On such a delicate occasion, it is recommended to give platinum jewellery, shining and resistant to wear.
- 25th anniversary: silver anniversary. It is one of the most significant anniversaries and marks the triumph of unity. The perfect gift consists of jewellery and utensils in the symbolic material, silver.
- 30th anniversary: pearl anniversary. A rare event and therefore very precious. It cannot be celebrated without a diamond.
- 35th anniversary: coral anniversary. Another unique anniversary, like the precious substance from which it takes its name.
- 40th anniversary: ruby anniversary. Unrepeatable, just like the stone that represents it.
- 45th anniversary: sapphire anniversary. Refined and unmatched like the previous one.
- 50th anniversary: gold anniversary. The milestone that any couple dreams of reaching refers to the most desired precious metal of all. It is gold: radiant as the promise that, after half a century, is renewed.
