Instructions
Step 1
You need to celebrate a ruby wedding with family and close friends, and therefore you need to thoroughly prepare for such an important anniversary. The rules are pretty simple - everything should be dominated by red. Start by decorating the room and the festive table. You can hang red curtains, arrange bouquets of beautiful red flowers all over the place, or decorate the room with balloons.

Step 4
The Ruby Jubilee celebration has some traditions. Most of them came from the Caucasian peoples. If possible, the spouses should personally pick two cherries from the tree on one cutting and eat them without dividing them. And the bones must be planted in the ground and left as a legacy to their grandchildren.
Step 5
There is one more, more symbolic and romantic tradition - the spouses must "feed" each other a pomegranate. First, the wife peels the fruit without using a knife, and then feeds the husband. Tearing off every grain, the wife speaks forest words to her husband. She should feed her husband half of the pomegranate, trying not to repeat it once. Then it is the turn of the spouse. He also feeds his wife with grains of fruit, but he constantly praises her.
Step 6
As for gifts, jewelry with a ruby will, of course, be an ideal present. The stone does not have to be large, because the main thing is that the thing is beautiful. By the way, the ruby has healing properties, as it is able to positively affect the circulatory and immune system of the owner. You can give a beautiful vase or a small souvenir figurine. It is not recommended to donate dishes or clothes for the 40th wedding anniversary.
