The reason why the two-year anniversary is called a paper anniversary is due to the fact that often by this time the couple will have time to have a child and fully experience the hardships of true life. family life, filled not only with moans of pleasure, but also with children's cries.

For the strength of paper

Two years of marriage is called a paper anniversary. It seems that paper is a fragile thing. But the most important treaties, the most brilliant books, the most holy commandments were brought to us by paper. The great writer Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov said: “Manuscripts do not burn...”.

But keep in mind - only those manuscripts on which golden and true words are written do not burn.

May your marriage certificate be the most durable contract in the history of mankind!

For a strong family

You set out on your journey bravely

On a paper boat.

We congratulated you together,

But we were a little worried:

How will the boat sail?

How will you survive storms?

But the ship sailed forward,

Although sometimes not without worries,

And he invited guests to his place

For our two year anniversary.

An anniversary is not an anniversary,

And pour me a glass!

I will be with this nice couple

Come while I live.

I drink to your boat

Stayed afloat

Oh, you dear guests,

Two years have passed since then

How are these young people

Resolved a personal dispute.

Should they become a friendly family?

Should they live separately?

Amuse everyone with a friendly wedding?

Or give birth to children this way?

But everything was decided as it should be,

Everything is according to their rules,

Sharing happiness and sorrow

Already two years for two.

Well done, what can I say?

How will things go for them?

So that your feeling is strong,

So that, like paper, it doesn’t tear,

And so that by the third anniversary

Your daughter was born.

I drink to young feelings,

Not for paper love.

I wish that in the frosts there are evil

Love, like a flame, warmed the blood

You've been married for two years!

It seems they barely know each other:

After all, the weather has changed

During this time twice.

First two wonderful summers,

Then - two Russian winters.

In the shine of the eyes, in the smile - somewhere

We see great happiness!

Live in love without getting sick,

You two are raising children together:

Until the golden jubilee

Then we will definitely survive!!!

You lived together for two years

Live loving each other.

Let there be bad weather around,

And fate protects you.

Let there be disagreements and disputes -

The sun shines behind the clouds.

And may your clear eyes

Sadness will never fade.

We wish you happiness, success,

God bless you and fate.

Let the sounds of children's laughter

They always ring in your house.

The wedding day itself and the entire first year are called a green wedding - as a sign of youth, freshness and purity of the newlyweds. In the first year, you can celebrate the date of this event at least every month, and even every week!

The name of the first wedding anniversary is associated with chintz, a lightweight material. On the one hand, chintz symbolizes the fragility of the relationship: the young people are just getting to know each other better. On the other hand, relationships imbued with love are still very easy and simple.

For a chintz wedding, it is customary to give items made of chintz, cotton, and silk. It is convenient for loved ones to give a young couple, for example, a beautiful set of bed linen. Spouses are usually recommended to exchange chintz handkerchiefs on their first wedding anniversary, but if this gift seems banal or impractical to you (for example, you are used to using disposable ones), then you can choose other chintz products.

In the old days, on this day, the “young man” was given a dress made of chintz fabric, and the spouse was given a shirt or trousers, also made of chintz. And, of course, the main ritual gift on this day was a chintz dress presented to the young wife by her mother-in-law.

The two-year wedding anniversary is called a paper wedding. Marital relations during this period are identified with the most fragile material - paper: it easily tears, wrinkles, and burns.

Over two years of family life, the spouses manage to get to know each other quite well. Unpleasant habits are revealed, responsibilities are distributed, and characters are polished. Often at this time the couple has a baby, which means the end of the romantic period when the husband and wife belonged only to each other and enjoyed intimacy. At the same time, this is a period of joy and happiness from new emotions and impressions - they should help overcome possible conflicts.

Guests invited to a paper wedding give all kinds of printed products: books, calendars, photo albums, paintings. Gifts made of plastic and pieces of furniture are also considered acceptable. You can even give money as a gift: they are paper too!

They say that this wedding anniversary in Byzantium was associated interesting tradition. For the festive feast, the husband and wife made dolls out of paper. Notes with wishes to the spouse were hidden in these dolls, and the advantages and disadvantages of a loved one were listed. It was believed that after two years of family life, husband and wife got to know each other well enough and could give an objective assessment. Young spouses exchange dolls with guests, which should remain next to them until the end of the holiday. During the feast, the husband and wife each carefully watch their doll, because the husband's friends or the wife's girlfriend can change the notes in the dolls. The substituted notes indicate only the merits of the spouse. If the note is stolen, the thieves demand a symbolic ransom. Towards the end of the celebration, the young couple take out notes from the dolls and read them aloud to the guests. The guests discuss whether the person who wrote them is truthful or whether he exaggerated something. The parents of the heroes of the occasion did not participate in this discussion. After the discussion, each of the guests had to give wise advice to the young spouses.

3 years since the wedding - Leather wedding

Three years of marriage is the first “significant” date for a young family. The 3 year wedding anniversary is called leather wedding. It is believed that the “paper” difficulties are left behind, and since the husband and wife have not broken off the relationship like paper, it means they have learned to get along with each other and adapt flexibly. After all, skin is a symbol of flexibility.

The importance of the ability to find compromise in family relationships emphasize the gifts that guests bring to the holiday. These can be products made of leather or leatherette: bags, purses, organizers, belts, and for the wealthier - leather clothing or even furniture.

It was no coincidence that the fourth wedding anniversary was called linen, because linen is not chintz, it is much stronger, which means that the relationship between the spouses has become stronger and more reliable. Linen is a symbol of strength and durability.

This anniversary is sometimes also called a wax anniversary, which laid the foundation for the tradition of always placing candles on the table. Well, of course, you should cover the table with a linen tablecloth, and place a linen napkin near each cutlery.

Linen is a symbol of prosperity and security. Linen items last a long time, and therefore gifts given on this day will remain with the spouses for life: tablecloths, bedspreads, and other high-quality home textiles.

The fifth wedding anniversary is the first major family anniversary. Wood is a warm, pliable, cozy and very homely material. In addition, it is also a building material. By five years of marriage, the couple had already managed to build their relationship, arrange a home, and possibly have a child.

Compared to all the previous symbols of wedding anniversaries - chintz, paper, leather and linen, wood is the first solid material, which is also very symbolic. By the age of five, all the main roughness in the relationship is smoothed out and comes to relative stability. Wood is a hard material, but, unfortunately, not eternal. A house built of wood is warm and reliable, but it can also be threatened by fires from family quarrels. It is considered a good omen for spouses to plant a tree on their fifth wedding anniversary. They say that a tree planted on the fifth wedding anniversary will survive all adversity and will be a memory for distant descendants.

If you have not celebrated previous milestones in family life, then a wooden wedding is definitely worth celebrating. It would be a good idea to invite your friends and all the guests present at your wedding. Gifts do not have to be expensive: boxes, carved items, wooden dishes and jewelry, small pieces of furniture.

This is the first “metal” wedding anniversary. But it should be remembered that cast iron, despite its external strength, is the most fragile of all metals, and may well break from a strong blow. In the old days, on this day, the housewife polished cast-iron dishes to a shine and put them on display for passers-by.

As a gift for cast iron wedding They recommend giving cast iron pots and pans (in modern conditions, you may have to replace them with Teflon or ceramic ones). You can give a barbecue and skewers: although not cast iron, it is directly related to an open fire.

By the way, in America and Western Europe the 6th wedding anniversary is called the candy anniversary, and in Latvia - the rowan anniversary.

The first partial wedding anniversary is probably due to the fact that the atomic mass of zinc is 65.38. Obviously, the holiday tradition does not have very deep historical roots and is not celebrated by everyone. However, it also has its own meaning: a zinc wedding reminds that a marriage, like galvanized dishes, needs to be polished from time to time. You can give a set of dishes and pots.

The copper wedding is celebrated on the 7th year after the wedding. Copper is a symbol of family strength, beauty and prosperity. This is no longer ferrous metal, cast iron, but valuable. But she is still far from noble or precious.

As for wool, it is a warm material, warming all family members with even and soft warmth. But sometimes it can be prickly, which reminds us of the possible roughness in relationships even at this stage of family life.

In previous years, in honor of the seventh wedding anniversary, the couple exchanged copper coins. Nowadays you can give each other handicrafts as a gift for a copper wedding - a candlestick, a coffee pot, decorative cups, and in honor of a woolen wedding - knitted socks or sweaters. Or, by analogy with copper utensils, you can give the hostess a multicooker or other useful kitchen device as a gift.

Over the course of eight years, everyday life becomes too familiar for the spouses, their relationship turns pale and dull, becoming like a nondescript tin. But everyday problems, which in the first years of life so interfered with the marriage, have now subsided. The name of the wedding seems to say that everyday life, which tested the spouses’ strength, became their ally, bringing them closer together over common concerns about home and family. But you shouldn’t go too deep into everyday life so that family life doesn’t become too dull; it needs to be minted from time to time.

For the eighth wedding anniversary, you can give kitchen utensils, household items, or just everything sparkling and similar to tin products - tea, sweets in tin boxes.

A faience wedding is celebrated on the ninth year of married life. The symbolism of the ninth wedding anniversary has two opposing interpretations.

According to another version, nine years after the wedding, the family is going through a critical period and is fragile, like earthenware.

For a faience wedding they usually give tea service or tableware. In addition, a faience wedding is a good reason to break a plate for good luck!

The first full wedding anniversary, a round date, is called a pink (according to other sources - tin) wedding. On this day, it is customary to have fun to the fullest, celebrate solemnly, with huge bouquets of roses, and not remember small family troubles and troubles.

Gifts for 10 wedding years should be as beautiful as the relationship between husband and wife that has endured ten years. Even the less popular “tin” name for the tenth wedding anniversary is associated with the flexibility and pliability of tin - that is, with the ability of the spouses to adapt to each other.

Traditionally, the husband gives his wife 11 roses: 10 red as a symbol of love, and 1 white as a symbol of hope for the next decade. Guests who come to congratulate the spouses on their tenth anniversary of marriage also give bouquets of roses. They try to include elements of pink symbolism (color, pattern) in the details of clothing. On the table there is rose wine, tea with rose petals and a cake decorated with roses.

This anniversary speaks for itself, because it is 1+1 - a union of two people - hand in hand, soul in soul. The marriage hardened and became like steel, became strong and elastic. Steel is a beautiful metal, with certain processing it becomes mirror-like, so your union, having been processed by life’s problems, joy, love and time, has become, like steel, mirror-like.

The Nickel wedding is the second “incomplete” wedding anniversary. According to Russian customs, it is celebrated after 12.5 years, since this is exactly halfway to the most important anniversary - 25 years, the silver wedding. For convenience, conception is celebrated six months earlier - at 12 years of age.
