How to celebrate a steel wedding
Families with small children are encouraged to be invited to the “steel celebration”, as babies represent a new life. After 11 years of marriage, husband and wife are opening a new page in their relationship, as their romance becomes more relaxed and easy.
Traditionally, the couple exchange bouquets of 11 flowers on this day. If the bouquets can stand for 11 days, this will mean that their life together will become happy in the future. Therefore, it is recommended to go for a trick: it is better to choose flowers that do not fade for a long time.
Before the celebration, the spouses need to undergo a washing ritual. It is good if you have the opportunity to swim in the reservoir. If not, the bathroom is fine. It is believed that in this way the spouses "wash away" from themselves the hardships and negative emotions that have accumulated over the years of life together.
During the festival, the wife and husband present each other with objects made of steel. Best of all, if there is an exchange of their own things - this confirms the unity of the family, as well as the fact that the spouses have everything in common. Throughout the holiday, congratulations and wishes are heard for spouses from relatives and friends. This evening, music sounds, to which the heroes of the occasion in the circle of guests perform a romantic dance, swear in love, understanding and fidelity.
