Wedding Anniversaries

Family Tradition

Once a year, a married man and a woman celebrate their commitment to one another on the Anniversary Date of their Wedding by exchanging gifts and celebrating together. It is customary for spouses to exchange gifts on Wedding Anniversaries made of certain materials depending upon which Anniversary is being celebrated. Each spouse, by Custom, gives a gift made of the material that is specified for the Anniversary Year. As an example, the 25th Wedding Anniversary is the Silver Anniversary so that each spouse exchanges a gift made of silver. There is general agreement with the list below under the heading: Traditional Wedding Gifts. In "modern" times many people have specified materials of differing substances or category. There is not universal agreement on "modern" gifts as is illustrated by the 2 lists below labeled: Modern1 and Modern2. There are many more lists in the "modern" category not shown here. It is safe for spouses to use the Traditional list if the Traditional Anniversary Gift Custom is to be observed. Truly it is the thought and the expression of love that counts here. Many spouses have fun picking out or making gifts of the traditional materials just to keep it interesting.

Our Product 

Visit our Shopping Mall (AMAZON.COM Affiliate) to buy a Love Coupon Book for your Sweetheart on your Anniversary! Product Review: These little tokens of indebted affection are good reminders to show someone you care. They are particularly important because they don't just last for your Anniversary Day, but make you take time throughout the year to be together in an intimate way. While it may seem inconvenient at a hectic time, you'll realize that it's just the kind of stimulation you need to remember how much you love someone. It's a great reminder for busy people that aren't always able to show they care. Eric Karl Anderson

The gift of fresh Flowers is a "live" reminder of the love and affection we feel for one another. Visit our Shopping Mall or click on the image below to send Flowers to your mate on your Anniversary via the Internet.

"To achieve or accumulate anything of value we must be of single purpose."

This quote could not be truer in any situation than it is in marriage. For a man and woman to build a Family with loving children, a home, and all the accumulated wonderful memories; daily each spouse must go about the work of life with total commitment. Whether at work or play, the consistent thread must be loyalty and devotion to each other and their Family. The marriage relationship must be treasured above all else as the basis for creating the environment and conditions necessary to the achievement of "Family" on a permanent basis. Wedding Anniversaries are engulfed in Custom and Tradition.
