Someone has a wedding only once in a lifetime, while someone has time to visit 5-6 marriages. Those who immediately choose a spouse for life can be proud of themselves and their family, celebrating their wedding anniversary every year. Each such anniversary has its own name and traditions associated with it.
The happiest day is a wedding
Girls know from childhood that the happiest day in their life is a wedding. Men usually do not strive for him that much. But, of course, by making an offer to their chosen one, and they feel happy. On their wedding day, the newlyweds think about what life will be like, they hope that they will be together for many years or even forever.
However, newlyweds sometimes face unplanned harsh everyday life. According to statistics, many marriages break up in the first year of marriage.
The more valuable is the experience of people who were not mistaken in their choice and have lived together for more than one decade. Over the years of their life together, they learned to appreciate and understand, forgive each other. Each year for these people is a holiday, the anniversary of their life together: they lived together for another 1 year, during this year they became even closer.
Happy spouses do not forget the date of their marriage. It used to be customary to celebrate only the first year of marriage and round dates. Particularly solemn were the anniversaries 25 years after the wedding, when the silver wedding was celebrated, and 50 years later, on the day of the golden wedding.
Nickel - a symbol of the strength of feelings
Maybe because the divorce rate increased, each year lived together became more appreciated. Now each year has its own name. So, the wedding, celebrated after 28 years of marriage, began to be called nickel.
Nickel metal is hard and durable, it is well polished and has magnetic properties, that is, it has exactly the same qualities as the marriage of spouses celebrating their wedding anniversary.
Usually, on this day, the heroes of the occasion gather friends and relatives. The holiday, which began for them 28 years ago, continues, but now their children and sometimes grandchildren are next to them. Now the couple are confident in each other, they managed to raise children, build a house and plant a tree. This time there is a real reason for joy and fun.
How to celebrate 28 years of wedding
On the 28th wedding anniversary, just like on the wedding day, they meet guests, arrange a feast, hold contests and accept congratulations.
Sometimes spouses are given gifts that will be passed on in their family from generation to generation. A solid pedigree book in leather bound with nickel decoration, will open on the anniversary of weddings and births of children.
What wedding is complete without gifts? Usually relatives give what the family needs most, but for a nickel wedding it is customary to give - as the name implies - just nickel. This can be, for example, dishes, a candlestick, a cigarette case or some kind of jewelry made of this metal.
28 years is not a round anniversary, before it was not celebrated at all. But for happy spouses this is a significant date, and they will definitely celebrate it.
