Golden wedding: how many years of marriage, the history of the holiday
Celebrating wedding anniversaries and anniversaries began in medieval Germany. Only towards the end of the nineteenth century did this holiday begin to be celebrated in other European countries. From Europe, this romantic tradition spread throughout the world. Each country has its own names and rules for celebrating anniversaries of marriage.
Each year from the date of marriage has its own name. As a rule, the name of the anniversary itself suggests what gift is best to give on this day: for porcelain weddings they give dishes or figurines made of porcelain, for linen weddings - tablecloths and napkins, for amethyst weddings - jewelry made from this stone.
On the first family anniversary, silver wedding - 25 years of marriage, it is customary to give jewelry and silver items. For a golden wedding of 50 years - gold and gilded objects. It is customary to give a cut diamond of at least 10 carats for a diamond.

Gifts for a golden wedding
Those who have been married for fifty years receive congratulations on their golden wedding. Gold is a symbol of a strong marriage. Living together for so many years is complex and difficult work. This is probably why there are so few married couples who celebrate this anniversary.
Married couples who have been married for fifty years are highly respected. In Great Britain, on the day of the Golden Wedding celebration, the spouses receive a written congratulation, personally signed by the Queen. In the countries of the former Soviet Union, it is customary to congratulate people on their golden wedding in the registry offices: this is where the ceremonial registration of this anniversary is carried out. Spouses celebrating this anniversary receive a new marriage certificate. In addition, on the initiative of the administrations of some cities, anniversaries are given cash gifts.
The couple, who lived together for fifty years, went through all the trials, managed to build a strong family and preserved their feelings. On a gold wedding day, it is customary to exchange gold rings again as a sign of love and respect for each other. And give the old ones to the youth - to those grandchildren and great-grandchildren who have not yet found their soulmate.
The best gifts for a golden wedding will be:
- A scarf or shawl with gold embroidery. This gift is traditionally given by the eldest child to his mother.
- Gold jewelry.
- Icons.
- Household appliances to make life easier for the elderly.
- Tableware with gilding.
- Paintings, watches, figurines or other interior items.
- Sets of bed and table linen.
- Tourist packages.
- Collectible book editions.

How to celebrate a golden wedding
In order to celebrate the anniversary and conveniently accept congratulations on your golden wedding, it is recommended to organize a second wedding celebration. The organization must be taken care of in advance. As a rule, the children and grandchildren of the heroes of the day take on the responsibilities for organizing the holiday.
The main thing in this case is to take care of convenience and maximum comfort for the heroes of the day: few of them can boast of good health. The organizers of such celebrations recommend the following procedure:
- Registration at the Civil Registry Office or the Wedding Palace. In case of poor health of elderly people, you can invite the registrar to the venue of the feast.
- Festive photo shoot .
A professional photographer will take high-quality memorable photographs of the celebration. - Organization of a wedding feast .
To hold a golden wedding, you can choose the same place where your first wedding was held. If this is not possible, you can arrange a banquet in a place that is dear to the celebrants. - Golden dance of the heroes of the day .
In cases where health conditions do not allow parents to dance, their children do it for them. - Bouquet and garter toss .
This is the traditional ending to any wedding, even a golden one. The girl who catches the bouquet has a chance for a long marriage. The guy who gets the garter will soon have a caring wife.
Organizing a celebration and congratulations on a golden wedding is a good reason to get the whole family together and thank your relatives.
