A wedding is a touching and joyful event in a person's life. Over the years, the family celebrates not the wedding day, but the wedding anniversary. Each year has its own name and traditions of celebration.
The first anniversary of the wedding feast is chintz, and it is customary to give chintz products, it can be a scarf or a tablecloth. Five years from the date of the wedding - a wooden wedding, 6 years - a cast-iron anniversary.
Cast iron
The name "cast iron wedding" is not accidental: the processing of cast iron is like family relationships, which are framed with different emotions every year, making the family more and more united and inseparable. At the same time, six years is a period when spouses rethink their relationship to each other. Fatigue has already accumulated, perhaps, and disappointment in a partner, and therefore a relationship - even strong in appearance, like cast iron - is, in fact, very fragile, like this metal, which is known for its ability to easily break and crack from the slightest blow.
Cast Iron Wedding Gifts
Few people remember, but there is a whole tradition of how and what to give for such an anniversary. For example, it is useless for friends to bring utensils to the house - a young hostess may be offended, and therefore they need to give symbolic gifts. In the old days, their choice was limited, and most often they gave gifts made with their own hands. Often, hand-engraved household items were presented as gifts; this was considered good form. Gifts were vases, figurines, caskets, and even cast iron writing desk accessories.
Of course, nowadays the choice of gifts is represented by a number of different items. As a rule, they try to give things with a hint, because they are more a symbol than an household item.
Friends can give a frying pan, playfully decorated: cast iron, and fun, and will come in handy on the farm. If a married couple has a country house or a summer cottage, you can donate chic wrought-iron interior items or openwork designer grilles for the fireplace. A cast photo frame of an unusual shape can also become a decoration of the house, and to make family life happy, you can present the newlyweds with a horseshoe made of cast iron, because it will be a symbol of happiness and prosperity.
An interesting gift will be rings made of cast iron for a husband and wife, this will become a symbolic reminder of their wedding day and strong family ties.
Giving things for the household is the prerogative of the parents. Here they can present any household product for everyday life. And this will not be considered trivial, because such a gift has long been considered a symbol of strengthening seed relationships. A woman must certainly give to a woman - “in order to strengthen the hearth and show mercy,” as they said before.
