What Do You Know About Your Wedding Anniversary?

The annual recurrence of a date marking a notable event: a wedding anniversary broadly. Anniversaries are an important part of life. They remind us of important events, both personal and cultural. Whether we're marking a birthday, a wedding or civil partnership, a momentous event, or the death of a loved one, an anniversary puts a pin on the calendar to remind us of something that matters to us. Celebration of wedding anniversaries is a tradition of Germanic origin that dates back to the middle ages.  In those days after 25 years of marriage a husband would present his wife with a silver wreath, and after 50 years, a gold wreath. From this custom emerged the recognition of silver and golden wedding anniversaries.

Today wedding anniversaries are associated with year, symbol/material and sometimes a type of flower, which is below
