WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES

Wedding Anniversaries were originally known by the number of years a couple had been married to each other. Traditionally, a wedding anniversary gift from a husband to his wife on their first wedding anniversary year was an eternity ring.

In medieval times, it became popular in central Europe to celebrate the 25th and 50th Wedding Anniversary with the husband crowning his wife with a wreath made of silver or gold. Although the practice of handing over a wreath made of silver or gold has not continued, we still use the terms 'Silver' and 'Golden' to describe the 25th and 50th Wedding Anniversaries respectively. In Biblical times, a 50th Wedding Anniversary was described as a 'jubilee' and publicly announced with a trumpet fanfare.

Whether you have been married 1 year or 60 years, each wedding anniversary should be celebrated, cherished & recognised as a wonderful milestone.  Show your partner the recognition he or she deserves on your wedding anniversary day by giving a gift that will not only be incredibly special, but appreciated and loved by your partner for many more years to come;
