Wedding Anniversary List

There are a number of significant wedding anniversaries celebrated in the UK (and it would appear - around the world).

A wedding anniversary is the anniversary of the date on which a wedding took place. Married persons may mark the anniversary date of their marriage in special ways. Other people might give the couple gifts appropriate for the year of their anniversary. These gifts are different in different countries. For example, in the United Kingdom the 7th wedding anniversary is called the Copper Anniversary and the 10th anniversary is called the Aluminium Anniversary. In the United States, these anniversaries are sometimes celebrated with gifts made of wool or tin, respectively.

Silver Wedding Anniversary after 25 years of marriage, Gold Wedding Anniversary after 50 years of marriage, Diamond Wedding Anniversary after 60 and 75 years of marriage.
