Cast iron. What kind of weddings are there by years and what should be gifted? One hundred to one what are the weddings

Creating a new family is a reason for a grand celebration. But even a year later, and 10 years after marriage, weddings are celebrated in the family. Only now they are called differently.

A wedding is one of the happiest days in the life of newlyweds, a symbol of their love, loyalty and a guarantee of strong and long-term relationships. Of course, life can turn out in different ways, but popular rumor believes in the best: it is not for nothing that there is a red wedding celebrating a whole century of living together.

Wedding is just the beginning of a long journey

"Is there life after the wedding?"

This is exactly what one of the most popular aphorisms associated with marriage sounds like. Jokes are jokes, but there is some truth in them. A wedding is not only a day when the bride flaunts in a snow-white dress, smiles happily at photographers and throws a bouquet to her unmarried girlfriends, and the groom, worried, takes an oath in front of the altar and kisses his already legal wife. It doesn't end there, and every year a young and not so much couple traditionally celebrates the day of their connection, gathering guests or arranging a romantic dinner.

Each year has its own name and traditions, designed to remind spouses of the time spent together and strengthen their union. They also make it much easier for invited guests to choose gifts. Previously, each such anniversary was needed so that the family could replenish their supplies.

For example, a linen wedding, which tells about the end of 4 years together, prescribes giving gifts made of linen: tablecloths, bedspreads or towels. Linen used to be an expensive material, strong and sturdy. The linen wedding both emphasized the coherence and strength of the family, and called for help by giving a necessary and useful thing. Our ancestors were cunning, oh, cunning!

And although now a young family can buy everything they need themselves, the traditions have survived and have survived to this day, helping out more than once in a difficult choice. Of course, no one will be offended if you give the spouses something different. After all, rules exist to be broken.

The first 10 years of life

In Europe, there used to be an interesting tradition: on the birthday of his daughter, the father planted a myrtle tree, which was given to the groom along with the bride on the wedding day. Hence the name green wedding... This is the first year of life for the young. They love each other dearly, try to get used to living together, learn to build a real family. Happiness overwhelms them, and they do not resist it.

You can celebrate a green wedding at least every month or even a week. The cleanliness and freshness of the senses will help the newlyweds extend the charm of the wedding as much as they want.

The first "official" wedding anniversary is called chintz... This fragile, easily torn material, according to some people, symbolizes the fragile relationship of young people who have just begun to get to know each other well. Although some believe that this is more due to the fact that in the first year of joint nights, the husband and wife wear out the bed linen a lot.

Gifts are also associated with this: chintz bedding, aprons, potholders, handkerchiefs.

On the first anniversary of their life together, young people are presented with chintz products

The next, second, year is already more durable, but it still tears and wrinkles just as easily - this paper wedding. You should not immediately think about money, although such a gift will always be welcome. Books, album, calendars, paintings, photographs - the choice of gifts is unlimited.

The third year is very important for the family. Young people managed to overcome the first year in love, the difficult second year, when they "rubbed in" to each other, and entered the third year. Leather wedding - this is a symbol of a strong family that has already spent enough time together and got to know each other from different sides. The choice of gifts is huge: from leather furniture to bags, wallets and jewelry.

4 year - linen wedding, which was mentioned above.

The first "serious" anniversary of the family comes in a year. Wooden wedding associated with a wooden frame - a solid structure that can survive the centuries and maintain warmth and comfort inside the house. There is a sign that if a tree is planted for 5 years of a wedding, then it will live for many years and will remain a memory for posterity - this is how veiled ancestors hinted at a friendly family that would not break from life's hardships. The choice of gifts remains very extensive: wooden crafts, carved boxes, dishes or interior items.

The next year will put guests who are accustomed to following traditions into a quandary. Cast iron wedding, symbolizing 6 years of marriage, suggests that cast-iron objects, namely pans and pots, should act as gifts. Today, these things are not only useless - they are almost impossible to get. At the same time, a cast-iron wedding in America and Western Europe is called candy, and in Latvia - mountain ash, which gives more room for imagination.

Between 6 and 7 years there is a so-called zinc wedding- 6.5 years old. She has no historical background and, most likely, was created as an additional reason to celebrate a life together.

The 7th year of the wedding is held under the sign of copper. Copper wedding invites spouses to exchange coins as a gift, and guests - to choose gifts made of metal.

Tin wedding celebrates the 8th year of the family. Shining, brand new metal symbolizes the renewal achieved in life, therefore, it is better to give appropriate things: kitchen and household utensils, funds for repairs or renovation of the environment.

9 years old and faience wedding waiting for you further. Finally, you don't have to rack your brains over a gift, but choose a beautiful tea or coffee set.

Faience wedding - 9 years of marriage

The first round date (as many as 10 years) is called pink or pewter wedding and is celebrated in full: invite all the friends who were present at the wedding itself. The holiday should highlight the beauty of the spouses and their union. Among the gifts, roses are most often called: every guest should bring them. It would also be nice to choose something pink - the most romantic of the entire spectrum.

Exchanging the second ten

11 years of meeting spouses steel wedding. A strong, strong, indestructible family has already proved to itself and to the world that it will withstand all adversity. They can expect from guests stainless gifts for the whole family, mainly kitchen utensils.

Having lived together for another year, the husband and wife celebrate their 12th birthday as nickel wedding. A dozen past years sparkle like polished metal, of which gifts will be made.

The damn dozen has a romantic name lily of the valley or lace wedding. The main theme here will be love and loyalty to the soul mate, and gifts should emphasize this.

Folk tradition attributes 14 years to the status of stone or agate. Family grows stronger, relationships grow deeper, and love is more precious.

Interpret the meaning of 15 years of marriage, glass wedding, very simple: it is the purity and clarity that reigns in the family. In the old days, the celebration lasted until one of the guests broke a glass or saucer. It will be very easy to choose gifts this time: glass and crystal items will help out many.

16 and 17 years old do not have their own names, but this does not prevent the spouses from coming up with something of their own, individual.

18 years - turquoise wedding. The firm cell of society is ready to shine with new colors and is not going to lower its head under adversity.

19 years also remained unnamed.

20 years is an important anniversary, indicating that the couple rallied around their hearth and are ready to spend time in comfort and warmth with a cup of tea. Therefore, it would be best for the guests to give them a porcelain set - it is not for nothing that the wedding is called porcelain.

Further more

Apparently, the fantasy of our ancestors was exhausted by the order on previous anniversaries, so the next weddings come only with names, but without recommendations. Only round dates have their own traditions and recommendations.

21st anniversary bears the name opal wedding.

22nd anniversary is bronze wedding.

23 wedding - beryl.

24 years old - satin.

24 years - the relationship is tender and strong, like an atlas

Finally, a quarter of a century approached, as the couple exchanged rings and vows. They have gone through a lot, made a lot, they have learned to understand each other perfectly. The solid age of marriage is also justified by the choice of precious metal. Previously with silver wedding the husband and wife exchanged a pair of silver rings, which were worn with the wedding bands. This symbolized a long life journey that they have already traveled together.

26 years old call jade wedding.

She, for 27 years, is followed by mahogany wedding.

The 28th anniversary does not even have a name, but the 29th is considered velvet wedding.

And now the family is approaching the next holiday. As many as 30 years together - a real gem in modern life. The clean, smooth stone gave the name to the event - pearl wedding... According to tradition, on this day, the husband should give his wife a necklace of 30 grains - according to the number of years he has lived nearby. Guests can limit themselves to gifts decorated with imitation pearls.

Let's step over the third dozen

The couple did not have time to look back, and then half of their lives had already passed together. Anniversaries have fewer and fewer special names, but love and tenderness are only getting more and more. Further, only 31 years are to be celebrated - dark wedding, and 34 years old - it will be amber wedding.

Coral wedding or linen, following, cuts off already 35 years of marriage. Noble coral has always been a symbol of health and longevity. This is what popular wisdom emphasizes, calling for gifts of coral crafts and linen tablecloths and napkins.

37 years - muslin wedding.

The next date is worth highlighting. Despite the fact that she is celebrated at 37.5 years of marriage, aluminum wedding has always been very popular with the people. An easy and strong relationship binds a couple, which no one can destroy.

38 years - mercury wedding.

39 years - crepe wedding.

The stone of love and passion, the noble ruby ​​will become a symbol of 40 years. Ruby wedding notes that the spouses have become so close to each other that their relationship can be compared with a precious stone, which is not inferior in hardness to a diamond.

Most precious years

So many years have passed - and the spouses still love each other as they did on their wedding day. The exquisite names taken from stones and plants tell the best about their relationship.

75 years old - crown wedding, crowning married life.

80 years - oak wedding, the wedding of longevity and firmness.

Red wedding - rarely celebrated holiday. Exactly a century ago, young people appeared before the whole world as husband and wife. For exactly 100 years they lived together, worked, raised children and grandchildren, laughed, cried and rejoiced at good luck, supported each other in everything. And everything worked out for them, as in a fairy tale: they lived happily ever after.

A wedding is not only a wedding day, on which a “new cell of society” was born. It is an ancient tradition with deep roots and customs. According to one of them, it is customary to celebrate each year lived together. Each anniversary has its own name, which characterizes it from the best side. Based on the name of the anniversary, one can judge the marriage, its well-being and its honor.

• For many lovers, the wedding day is a special date. They celebrate it with trepidation and try to observe all the traditions of the celebration. For others, only the anniversary numbers are important, measuring the time of life together: 10 years, 20 years, and so on.
• If you plunge into history, you will notice that the modern names of wedding anniversaries have quite deep roots. At that time, people appreciated the events associated with their lives much more, loved nature and compared themselves to it.
• Most likely, based on this, the names of wedding anniversaries have such "natural" names. Moreover, following the name, you can understand its essence and compare it with the year of marriage life lived by the spouses.
• For a long time, people believed in all sorts of signs, which originated precisely from nature and everything around. People believed that if they observe the signs, they will be filled with extraordinary power that can save marriage from misfortune and preserve for many years.
• In modern life, not every person has the idea that each year of married life has a name and most often turns to additional sources for help.

names of wedding anniversaries by year, table

Not everyone knows that the very day on which the wedding is carried out already has a name. His name is "green wedding". In this case, the “green” symbolizes the youth and inexperience of the newlyweds. In addition, greens are always freshness, lightness, 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 day of the wedding (that is, for the "green wedding"). It is the dollar bills that should bring the newlyweds financial well-being and fortune in married life. However, this is not an established rule at all and is just a tradition.

Table of weddings distributed by year from 1 to 10

Wedding anniversary	Anniversary title	Anniversary features
1 year	calico wedding	The anniversary received this name only because this material is valued for its special subtlety, lightness, transparency. This fabric is quite everyday, not expensive, but fragile: it can be easily torn and damaged. She is compared with romantic feelings, because after one year of living together, a couple tries life and often loses feelings. For a gingham wedding, it is customary to drink a bottle of champagne tied at the wedding.
2 years	paper wedding	Paper is also a rather weak material and that is why the second anniversary has such a name. You can literally compare a marriage with paper like this: “It is strong when the“ paper ”is folded in several layers. This suggests that joint efforts, understandings and children cement the union of a young family and make it lasting.
3 years	leather wedding	Our ancestors gave this anniversary such a name because at that time such material as leather was highly valued and dear. Compared with chintz and paper, the skin 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 living together is also called "rope". Our ancestors believed that for 4 years of marriage, the spouses should be put to the test: to tie them with linen ropes and if they get out of them harmoniously - this is a good omen, symbolizing a long happy marriage.
5 years	wooden wedding	This name was given to the anniversary 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 "put down roots" and find a lasting 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, a dent will appear on it that cannot be fixed. Likewise, 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. For this reason, the young people understood how long they still had to live in harmony and understanding and try not to aggravate their marriage.
8 years	tin wedding	Tin is a fairly strong and heat-resistant metal. It is these characteristics that the family possesses 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 firmness.
9 years	faience wedding	Such material as faience has always been appreciated and always considered noble. It symbolizes the family as something “pure, perfect and beautiful,” but fragile. Therefore, spouses need to be extremely careful in order to preserve their feelings.
10 years	tin wedding	Tin is a durable and flexible metal that symbolizes spouses as people who can give in and adapt to each other.

a wedding anniversary gift has a symbolic meaning

How are the anniversaries of living together?

As a rule, all the anniversaries of living together require some kind of attention. The exceptions are those that celebrate is a bad omen. The first five years of marriage are usually celebrated very violently: with friends and family. After these dates, the married couple solemnly celebrate only anniversaries.

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

The first anniversary, namely the "Calico 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 form and bad manners. On this day, one of the two bottles of champagne opens, which was contacted at the wedding itself. It is customary to drink the second bottle with parents to celebrate the birth of their first child.

how to celebrate wedding anniversaries

The cake is also symbolic for the first anniversary. It should be given special importance and ordered from professionals in their field. In fact, it should be no worse than the cake that was at your wedding, if only less ... The cake symbolizes - a lush, cheerful, self-sufficient and prosperous life of a young couple.

There are no clear indications of 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 in nature (since it is affordable, not expensive and festive). It will be more solemn to rent a cafe, every guest will be preparing for such an event and looking forward to it.

A symbolic and good omen will be the exchange of gifts for the newlyweds for the anniversary, based on its name: for a chintz one - chintz handkerchiefs, a wooden one - photo frames, for a gold one - an exchange of jewelry. This is considered a good tradition that characterizes lovers from the best sides.

wedding anniversary gifts

Those who come to visit on the anniversary should definitely have gifts with them. In order not to miscalculate, you can choose things that are important for the house, which are always useful for a married couple in everyday life:

• towels
• tablecloths
• utensils
• bed
• bathrobes and slippers
• dinner service
• paintings

The best gift is, of course, money, it is no less important for the family budget than on the day when two lovers tied the knot.

A prerequisite is a wide celebration of big anniversaries:

• 5 years - "Wooden wedding" (first anniversary). On this date, it is best to rent a cafe (you can also the one in which the wedding itself took place), invite guests and celebrate the date with magnificent fun, dances and competitions
