Marriage Milestones

A wonderful way to celebrate and remember the day you 'tied the knot' is to link it up with a special gift. 

As well as the 'well-known' silver, pearl, ruby and golden wedding anniversaries, there are many others that are commemorated with a particular item.

In the early years of marriage the more simple things are celebrated: cotton and paper, but as the years progress so do the gifts!

In the traditional listing there are things detailed for the first 10 years, then a jump to the 15 ^th anniversary where crystal is the glistening gift and another 5 years on china is the 20^th anniversary choice.

Twenty Five years is a Silver Wedding Anniversary, Pearl 30^th and Coral for the 35^th. 

Ruby is the 40^th Anniversary and then 10 year leaps to the Golden 50^th and Diamond 60^th with Sapphire shining bright for a rather wonderful 65 year celebration.

For those that manage to celebrate 70 years together, it's Platinum, with Oak detailed for an 80^th and a 90^th wedding anniversary has Granite.

There are other lists too!  As with many things of this nature there are diverse views, and whether you choose to use these traditions or not, they can be an interesting focus for special celebrations.
