Importance of the Golden Wedding Anniversary
1. A Significant Milestone
In times where duration of marriages is often counted in months and years, spending 5 decades with each other is undoubtedly an extremely significant milestone. Witnessing life’s ups and downs, facing and learning from challenging and happy times together would have made the couple both mature and wise, and it would have been their enduring love which would have helped them overcome all those challenges and in reaching this milestone.
2. Make the Celebrations/Gifts Focussed on the Golden Couple
When you are planning to buy gifts for a golden wedding anniversary or making arrangements for the celebrations, you should ensure that it should be focussed on the tastes and preferences of the couple (who would be senior citizens by now). So, if the couple appreciate simple and sophisticated things in life or a laid back and relaxing vacation with their loved ones, rather than a noisy and boisterous night party, then such things should be kept in mind whilst planning the event.
3. 50th Wedding Anniversary Symbols
The symbols normally associated with a 50th wedding anniversary are:
- Gold is the colour of the anniversary.
- Golden topaz is the gemstone and gold is the precious metal normally associated with the golden anniversary.
- Violets are the flowers of choice and
- Traditional gifts on the occasion normally incorporate gold in some way or the other.
Again, as mentioned above, it is important to know the tastes and preferences of the couple and align your celebrations and gifting with those requirements.
