| Wedding Anniversary Traditions
Tradition tells us that each
wedding anniversary should be celebrated by giving your loved one a gift
made from a different material. Paper symbolizes the first year of
marriage, but with each passing year, the gifts become more precious or
more rare. This progression is meant to symbolize the growth in a
couple's relationship through the years.
The origins of the traditional
list are not known, however some of the traditions are believed to date
back to medieval times. Today, we accompany these traditions with a
more modern list that not only offers greater variety, but in many cases,
puts a higher value on earlier anniversaries. In addition, a list of
jewelry and gemstone traditions offers recommendations for those who
prefer to adorn their loved one with something truly precious each
year. |
