Seven years of marriage is quite a long and serious period for marriage. During this time, the spouses managed to go through a variety of, sometimes unpredictable, trials that can occur on the way to creating a strong indestructible family.
Copper and wool are two sides of the same union
The date of the seventh anniversary of a joint family life is called a copper wedding. This name was not chosen by chance. Copper is a fairly strong metal. Therefore, this definition symbolizes the strength of relations between spouses, their ability to overcome difficulties and troubles together, solve important life issues, but, most importantly, constantly support each other, give love and affection to their other half.
Another name for this wedding is woolen. Wool, in contrast to copper, is soft, warm and comfortable. So, the relations of the spouses, undergoing various changes, become tolerant and gentle, and the grinding between husband and wife ends. They feel like one whole, solid and indestructible. At the same time, in relation to the beloved, care and endless tenderness prevail.
Relationships evolve year after year. If in the first years of marriage, paper, linen and wood weddings are celebrated, then after seven years the turn of the metal one comes. Copper, of course, a base metal. But it is a more durable material than wood or fabric. This means the seventh anniversary is a serious step towards silver and gold weddings.
