A copper wedding is no longer a paper, cotton, or even cast-iron wedding. You can no longer tear copper like fabric, and you can’t split it like wood. It can only be melted and given a different shape, an image. Therefore, the important task of the spouses is to melt their relationship into more and more durable, so that they turn over time into precious metals - silver and gold, and then into the strongest gem on earth - a diamond.

Maintain the brilliance and strength of your married life!

Leather wedding tradition

Since ancient times, many nations have associated certain traditions and rituals with the celebration of anniversaries and wedding anniversaries. As a rule, much in these rituals and traditions is symbolic. According to an old custom, before the celebration of the anniversary of the leather wedding, the spouses must pay off all significant and not very debts, forgive insults to all their enemies and ill-wishers, and ask for forgiveness for inadvertently inflicted insults. It is advisable to throw out all broken or cracked dishes from the house, get rid of items that bring trouble or remind you of the troubles that have occurred over these three years. The hostess certainly had to bring cleanliness and order in the house, sort out all the corners, wipe the glass and mirrors from dust so that they sparkled.

In the old days in Rus', two or three days before the celebration of the anniversary of any wedding, the spouse should bake figurines of domestic animals from dough - cows, bulls, horses, pigs, etc. It was believed that it was pets that brought wealth and abundance to the couple's house. But the secret of making dough figures was passed down by women from generation to generation.

On the day of the anniversary of the leather wedding, according to tradition, the spouses must wear leather clothes and walk around in it all day. A leather skirt with a blouse and a leather vest or leather trousers with a blouse and a leather vest may well suit a woman. You can simply use fashion accessories: a leather cosmetic bag, a leather belt, a leather wallet or a small leather handbag.

A man on this day should look appropriate: a leather jacket or leather trousers will be in perfect harmony with his wife's "anniversary" outfit. You can hold leather accessories in your hands: a case for glasses, a folder or an organizer.

On this day, according to tradition, it is customary to invite guests and relatives from both sides to the house of spouses-anniversaries. If the neighbors are your good friends, then they should definitely be invited to the celebration. According to legend, the neighbors had to bring dishes, help arrange tables and chairs, decorate and set the festive table.

Do not forget to invite a witness who will be the organizer of the anniversary. The witness, according to tradition, will play the role of an entertainer at your celebration, play various harmless jokes and pranks, but you can also subject the witness himself to funny jokes. In the process of celebrating the anniversary of the leather wedding, the witness must make joking speeches. In these speeches, there should be a direct allusion to the stork that brings children into the house (this joke should apply only to the married couple who do not yet have children), as well as in a joking manner to recall the duties of wife and husband. The witness must certainly have a long wand with a small hook bent at the top, which is usually decorated with multi-colored satin ribbons. A sprig of bird cherry (bird cherry is a sign of longevity) or a small red flower can be attached to a hat or other headdress of a witness, since it is red that means fiery and eternal love.

According to custom, on the day of a leather wedding, a loaf of rye bread was always placed on the table, from which the spouses had to break off a small piece and eat it in front of everyone present. The great importance of rye bread as the main, main element of the rite is found not only among Christians, but also among many peoples of the North, Argentina and the peoples of Central and South-Eastern Europe. The very first treat at the celebration of a leather wedding is "bread soup", which is prepared quite simply: rye bread crumbles into meat broth. This soup symbolized, according to ancient beliefs, the close relationship of spouses with friends and relatives. Instead of "bread soup", a married couple can eat a red apple or any other red fruit in the presence of guests and all relatives.

Sick and infirm relatives, far-living friends and work colleagues who did not come to the festive celebration, according to the old custom, should definitely send a few red apples that day, which can be replaced with other red fruits. The fact is that red color symbolizes true friendship and devoted love.

If you follow the customs and traditions of holding a leather wedding anniversary, then the young wife should not go out after seven in the evening 2-3 days before the celebration. And if such a need nevertheless arises, then you should definitely put a red silk scarf on your head. If such a handkerchief was not at hand, then the woman carried with her "miraculous protective" herbs, which, according to legend, protected from evil influences - from evil spirits and the evil eye.

According to a long tradition, spouses-anniversaries should greet guests and relatives who came to the leather wedding anniversary with a handshake and the words "welcome". Until the end of such a solemn ceremonial, none of those present should: sit down at the table and take utensils from it.

According to the customs of some countries, it is customary to start celebrating a leather wedding no later than 10 o'clock in the morning, since this is the time that contributes to an increase in family happiness and an increase in wealth in the family.

After all the guests and relatives have gathered, the spouse should be the first to cut off a small piece of rye bread and be the first to taste the "bread soup". After that, the spouse goes to the middle of the room or hall where the solemn ceremony takes place, and thanks the guests and all those present for coming to the celebration and congratulations.

Then the dishes were beaten, and it was believed that the more fragments, the happier and richer the family would be. In order to save money, you can collect shards of cracked cups, saucers and plates in advance, and then break them at the anniversary. The main meaning of this ancient custom is to drive away evil spirits from the house of young spouses with a loud noise. Spouses must collect pieces of broken dishes from the floor together. And the more fragments are collected in one minute, the happier the family life of the spouses will be.

At the end of the holiday, dances are arranged. The first dance should be danced by the spouses of the anniversary, who are then seated in the center of the room on chairs with their backs to each other. Guests, friends, relatives and all those invited surrounded them in pairs while singing their favorite songs. After singing, the witness made a solemn speech - and the guests showered the spouses with grains of rye.

Until the end of the 19th century, some signs and magical superstitions associated with the celebration of wedding anniversaries were preserved: if it rains or is cloudy on the day of the celebration of the leather wedding, then it is believed that the family life of the young spouses will not be entirely successful and joyful. Unfortunately, the weather does not always take into account our desires, and everyone wants happiness. So, in order to deceive the fate of the villain, it was customary for the spouses to throw a handful of rye over their heads.

third anniversary

Over time, the sharpness of feelings becomes dull, and in order not to confuse this moment with the complete withering of love, it is necessary to devote more time to talking about what is happening in everyone's soul. Perhaps this is a suitable occasion to diversify the established family order. So this third date is imperceptibly coming? The third pair is called leather (or wool). The name itself is the essence of this date.

What means?

Marital relations at this stage are associated with a supple material - leather. It is very durable and easy to use if properly cared for. The product after many years of wear may change color, but the strength remains the same. So it is in relations between spouses who have a third one on their nose. As they say, they live like that. This is what people say about every anniversary of living together. According to the second version, the marital path is similar to yarn or wool products. With improper care, they deteriorate at the moment and can no longer be used for their intended purpose.

Too hot water can shrink a thing made of wool. Similarly, the hot ardor of one of the spouses, shown at the time of the conflict, can lay a seed of doubt in the correctness of the choice made three years ago. Although most of the lapping is already over, it’s still not worth getting excited at certain points. Passion can also fade away, it will be replaced by a habit. However, the union is tempered by time and becomes more and more durable. Moreover, the external gloss can always be brought, but the essence requires much longer and painstaking work. Outside, the product, as a rule, is lubricated with cream and by all means prevents it from drying out. So it is in married life. Sometimes it is necessary to add, as they say, fuel to the fire. This is what marks the third wedding anniversary.

The opinion of psychologists

Psychologists note this period of living together as one of the crisis. The fact is that during the first three years of the relationship, a person looks closely at his partner, recognizes himself in a new role, the first difficulties are experienced, his own reaction to various situations is studied. The riot of emotions, but not feelings, gradually subsides. This should not be confused with the fading of love. This period, with the right attitudes and priorities, is the transformation of passion, dedication and other feelings into deeper ones. And if the third wedding anniversary is celebrated in an atmosphere of mutual understanding, then the couple has a chance for a strong relationship. Despite even quieter emotions and at times a lack of passion, spouses can live a long time together.

It is after three years that feelings from superficial ones are reborn into deeper ones. Or people, immersed in conflicts and the absence of past emotions, disperse. Many sincerely think that by leaving the person, they will solve the problem. However, as a rule, in a new relationship, everything repeats itself. That is why the third wedding anniversary is a kind of first serious milestone.

celebration

It is customary to organize a celebration on this occasion in an unusual way. This applies to absolutely everything. That is, if up to this point the anniversaries were not celebrated at all, the situation should be corrected immediately. In the case when spouses like to spend their free time at home, this is a great occasion to have fun in a noisy place. If the couple is one of the constantly busy workaholics, the third wedding anniversary is the most suitable moment for a romantic trip or a trip out of town with relatives and friends. By the way, it is in their company that it is customary to celebrate this date. That is, the celebration should be designed for a narrow circle of guests.

Festive table

Particular attention on this day should be given to the festive table. It must have meat on it. And different kinds. Previously, figurines of a cow or a horse were always present at the festive feast, in the form of which cookies or homemade pastries were made. This Russian tradition has always indicated that such a celebration is precisely the third wedding anniversary. What kind of drink is taken at the feast dedicated to this occasion?

Red wine is preferred, as are other drinks of this color - juices, fruit drinks, compotes and others. If the date of the celebration falls in the spring-summer period, then it is optimal to have a picnic or a trip to nature. There you can organize a barbecue, fry meat and vegetables. The abundance of fruits and fresh herbs diversifies the table. After all, this is the main storyline of the third anniversary of living together. Both the table and the celebration itself should be varied.

Celebration in a restaurant

When organizing a buffet in a restaurant, you should also make sure that the place itself has a beautiful interior. After all, they must be pronounced without fail in a special atmosphere. Perhaps it will be an oriental style restaurant or something like that. The menu must be original. You can also try exotic dishes from the cuisine of the peoples of the world. This will give new impressions not only to the couple as the heroes of the occasion, but also to the guests. However, one should reasonably approach the choice of dishes, observing caution and measure. It is advisable to try some of them first. So that the holiday does not end with a "sick leave", it is necessary to take into account which of the guests suffers from food allergies and to which products. Preliminary coordination of the menu will be very appropriate.

gifts for spouse

Family holidays are responsible events that require special attention and preliminary preparation, especially if it is the third wedding anniversary. What is it called, what to give - many are interested in similar issues. When going to a celebration, you need to learn a little more about what this date is. Referred to as leather (or woolen), the anniversary involves appropriate gifts. For example, haberdashery - notebooks, document covers, wallets, bags, belts, gloves and other items useful in everyday life. You can also give a certificate for the purchase of these accessories. All this is the best fit as a gift for such a celebration as the third wedding anniversary. Congratulations to the husband, uttered in the morning, can be supplemented with a present in the form of a watch on a leather strap, if the wife, of course, is not superstitious. After all, according to popular belief, you can not give your loved ones such items. The clock will count down the time left until separation. Today, few believe in such signs.

After all, watches are not only a memorable, but in some cases a very valuable gift. You can engrave them with the name of the owner, the date of donation or good wishes.

DIY gifts

Handmade gifts are also traditional. Previously (and sometimes this happens in our time) wives knitted products from pure wool for their husbands. It could be a sweater, jacket, scarf, socks or mittens. All these items of clothing, presented as gifts, spoke of the care and love of the wife. Indeed, in a sweater, carefully knitted by the hands of his wife, it was warmer and more comfortable. Modern clothing manufacturers offer a huge selection of quality wool products. Therefore, those women who do not have needlework skills should not be upset.

After all, the main thing is that behind three years of living together with a spouse, and ahead of the holiday - the third wedding anniversary. What to gift? A suitable option can be found in clothing and accessories stores. This gift will warm the spouse with its warmth and remind you of love and care. Also, do not forget about soft blankets, blankets and other bedding made of wool. These things are able to give comfort and warmth to both spouses. Also, do not forget that woolen clothing (thanks to technology) is not only for the winter cold and autumn bad weather. Now there is a wide range of products that can be worn in the summer. Fine wool perfectly maintains the natural temperature of the body, preventing it from freezing or overheating.

gifts for wife

Previously, there was also a tradition according to which a husband and wife exchanged leather gloves on the day of the celebration called "the third wedding anniversary." What to give his wife on the occasion of the holiday, every man himself knows better. Since in three years he probably managed to get acquainted with her tastes and preferences. Good gift options are: leather bags, accessories, and jewelry. To date, many stores offer a range of knitted jewelry. It can be a necklace or a string of beads, an openwork scarf or stole, as well as a scarf or scarf.

Hand-knitted gloves made of fine woolen yarn look very interesting and unusual. This accessory will emphasize the femininity and subtlety of the wife's brush. From leather products there are never superfluous shoes. On this occasion, you can pamper your spouse with an elegant and beautiful pair of shoes. This will certainly become an occasion to go to a special place to "walk" a new thing. Both spouses will benefit from this gift. The wife will be pleased to wear high-quality shoes, and the husband will enjoy the beauty of women's legs. Fresh flowers are an obligatory attribute of the holiday. Moreover, it is always a pleasure for any woman to receive them.

Congratulations

Finding a fresh bouquet at the present time is very easy, even if the third wedding anniversary falls in the winter. Congratulations on this solemn day should sound from relatives and relatives, and, of course, come from a pure heart. A family with little but tangible experience should be wished for wisdom, patience and understanding in order to survive all the hardships that may be encountered along the way. It is necessary to focus on what the spouses have already done for their families. Perhaps the moment of testing feelings for strength was timed to this day, or the couple managed to overcome serious everyday difficulties.

Conclusion

Three years is a good time for a family. The memories of the first date are still fresh, but it is already easier to get along with your spouse, so be sure to celebrate such a celebration.

The wedding day itself and the entire first year is called a green wedding - as a sign of youth, freshness and purity of the newlyweds. In the first year, you can mark the date of this event at least every month, and even every week!

The name of the first wedding anniversary is associated with chintz - a light material. On the one hand, chintz symbolizes the fragility of relations: the young people have just got to know each other better. On the other hand, relationships soaked in love are still very easy and simple.

It is customary to give items made of chintz, cotton, silk for a chintz wedding. It is convenient for close people to present to a young couple, for example, a beautiful set of bed linen. Spouses are usually recommended to exchange chintz handkerchiefs on the first wedding anniversary, but if this gift seems banal or impractical to you (for example, you are used to using disposable ones), then you can choose other chintz products.

In the old days, on this day, the “young” was given a dress made of chintz fabric, and the spouse was given a shirt or trousers, also made of chintz. And, of course, the main ceremonial gift on this day was a cotton dress presented to the young wife by her mother-in-law.

The two-year wedding anniversary is called the paper wedding. Marital relations during this period are identified with the most fragile material - paper: it is easily torn, wrinkled, and burned.

For two years of family life, the spouses manage to get to know each other quite well. Unpleasant habits are revealed, there is a distribution of duties, grinding of characters. Often at this time, the couple has a baby, which means the end of the romantic period when the husband and wife belonged only to each other and enjoyed intimacy. At the same time, this is a period of joy and happiness from new emotions and impressions - they should help overcome possible conflicts.

Guests invited to a paper wedding give all kinds of printed products: books, calendars, photo albums, paintings. Gifts made of plastic and furniture are also considered acceptable. You can even donate money: they are also paper!

They say that an interesting tradition was associated with this wedding anniversary in Byzantium. For the festive feast, the husband and wife made dolls out of paper. Notes with wishes to the spouse were hidden in these dolls, the advantages and disadvantages of a loved one were listed. It was believed that after two years of family life, the husband and wife got to know each other quite well and could give an objective assessment. Young spouses exchange dolls with guests, which should be next to them until the end of the holiday. During the feast, the husband and wife each closely monitor their doll, because the husband's friends or the wife's girlfriends can change the notes in the dolls. In the replaced notes, only the merits of the spouse are indicated. If the note is stolen, the kidnappers demand a symbolic ransom. By the end of the celebration, the young spouses take out notes from the dolls and read them aloud to the guests. The guests discuss whether the person who wrote them is truthful or whether he exaggerated something. The parents of the heroes of the occasion did not participate in this discussion. After the discussion, each of the guests had to give wise advice to the young spouses.

3 years from the date of the wedding - Leather wedding

Three years of marriage is the first "significant" date of a young family. Anniversary of 3 years from the date of the wedding is called a leather wedding. It is believed that the "paper" difficulties are left behind, and since the husband and wife did not break off relations like paper, it means that they learned to get along with each other and adapt flexibly. After all, leather is a symbol of flexibility.

The importance of the ability to find a compromise in family relationships is emphasized by the gifts that guests bring to the holiday. These can be leather or leatherette products: bags, purses, organizers, belts, and for the more affluent - leather clothes or even furniture.

It was no coincidence that the fourth wedding anniversary was called linen, because linen is not chintz, it is much stronger, which means that the relationship of the spouses has become stronger and more reliable. Linen is a symbol of strength and durability.

This anniversary is sometimes also called a wax anniversary, which laid the foundation for the tradition of putting candles on the table without fail. Well, to cover the table, of course, should be a linen tablecloth, and put a linen napkin near each device.

Flax is a symbol of prosperity and security. Linen items last a long time, and therefore the gifts presented on this day will remain with the spouses for life: tablecloths, bedspreads, and other high-quality home textiles.

The fifth wedding anniversary is the first major family anniversary. Wood is a warm, supple, cozy and very homely material. In addition, it is also a building material. By the age of five years of marriage, the couple had already managed to build their relationship, equip the house, and possibly have a baby.

Compared to all previous symbols of wedding anniversaries - chintz, paper, leather and linen, wood is the first solid material, which is also very symbolic. By the age of five, all the main roughness in relationships is smoothed out, which come to relative stability. Wood is a hard material, but, unfortunately, not eternal. A house built of wood is warm and reliable, but it can also be threatened by fires of family quarrels. It is considered a good omen for spouses to plant a tree on their fifth wedding anniversary. They say that a tree planted on the fifth wedding anniversary will survive all hardships and will be a memory for distant descendants.

If you have not celebrated the previous milestones of family life, then a wooden wedding is definitely worth celebrating. It would be nice to invite friends and all the guests who were present at your wedding. Gifts do not have to be expensive: caskets, carved gizmos, wooden utensils and jewelry, small pieces of furniture.

Here is the first "metal" wedding anniversary. But it should be remembered that cast iron, despite its external strength, is the most fragile of all metals, and may well break from a strong blow. In the old days, on this day, the hostess polished cast-iron dishes to a shine and put them on display for passers-by.

As a gift for a cast-iron wedding, it is recommended to give cast-iron pots and pans (in modern conditions, you may have to replace them with Teflon or ceramic ones). You can donate a brazier and skewers: although not cast iron, it is directly related to open fire.

By the way, in America and Western Europe, the wedding anniversary of 6 years is called candy, and in Latvia - mountain ash.

The first incomplete wedding anniversary is probably due to the fact that the atomic mass of zinc is 65.38. Obviously, the tradition of the holiday has not very deep historical roots and is not celebrated by everyone. However, it also has its own meaning: a zinc wedding reminds us that marriage, like galvanized dishes, needs to be polished from time to time. You can give a set of dishes, pots.

The copper wedding is celebrated on the 7th year after the wedding. Copper is a symbol of family strength, beauty and prosperity. This is no longer ferrous metal cast iron, but valuable. But it is still far from noble or precious.

As for wool, it is a warm material, warming all family members with even and soft warmth. But sometimes it can be prickly, which reminds of possible roughness in relationships even at this stage of family life.

In previous years, in honor of the seventh wedding anniversary, the couple exchanged copper coins. Now you can give each other handicrafts as a gift for a copper wedding - a candlestick, a coffee pot, decorative cups, and in honor of a woolen wedding - knitted socks or sweaters. And you can, by analogy with copper utensils, give the hostess a multicooker or other useful kitchen device as a gift.

For eight years, everyday life becomes too familiar for the spouses, their relationship pales and dims, becoming like a nondescript tin. But everyday problems, which in the first years of life so interfered with marriage, have now subsided. The name of the wedding, as it were, says that life, which tested the spouses for strength, became their ally, bringing them closer by common concerns about home and family. But you should not go too deep into everyday life, so that family life does not become too dull, from time to time it needs to be minted.

On the eighth wedding anniversary, you can give kitchen utensils, household items, or just everything that sparkles and looks like tin products - tea, sweets in tin boxes.

The faience wedding is celebrated on the ninth year of family life. The symbolism of the ninth wedding anniversary has two opposite interpretations. According to one version, every year family relationships become stronger, like good tea poured into faience cups. According to another version, nine years after the wedding, the family is going through a critical period and is fragile, like faience.

For a faience wedding, they usually give a tea set or tableware. In addition, a faience wedding is a good reason to break a plate for happiness!

The first full-fledged wedding anniversary, a round date, is called a pink (according to other sources - tin) wedding. On this day, it is customary to have fun to the fullest, celebrate solemnly, with huge bouquets of roses, and not remember minor family troubles and troubles.

Gifts for 10 years of marriage should be as beautiful as a ten-year relationship of husband and wife. Even the less popular "tin" name of the tenth wedding anniversary is associated with the flexibility and pliability of tin - that is, with the ability of spouses to adapt to each other.

Traditionally, a husband gives his wife 11 roses: 10 red as a symbol of love, and 1 white as a symbol of hope for the next decade. Guests who came to congratulate the spouses on the tenth anniversary of marriage also give bouquets of roses. In the details of clothing, they try to include elements of pink symbolism (color, pattern). On the table are rose wine, tea with rose petals and a cake decorated with roses.

This anniversary speaks for itself, because it is 1 + 1 - the union of two people - hand in hand, soul to soul. Marriage hardened and became like steel, became strong and resilient. Steel is a beautiful metal, with a certain processing it becomes a mirror, so your union, having been processed by life's problems, joy, love and time, has become, like steel, a mirror.

Stainless steel products are presented as a gift: a set of pots, a tray, a coffee pot, etc.

Nickel wedding - the second "incomplete" wedding anniversary. According to Russian customs, it is celebrated after 12.5 years, since this is exactly half the way to the most important anniversary - 25 years, the silver wedding. For convenience, her conception is celebrated six months earlier - at 12 years old. The symbolism of this wedding anniversary is similar to a tin wedding: the sparkle of nickel indicates the need to refresh the brilliance of the relationship.

The theme of the gift for 12.5 years of the wedding is obvious - shiny items should be given, for example, dishes or even a mirror.

13 years of marriage - Lily of the valley wedding (or lace wedding)

Like lace, which requires great patience from the craftswoman, good, harmonious family relationships are weaved for years with great patience and accuracy.
The lilies of the valley, which gave the second name to this wedding anniversary, also contain an equally reverent and tender image.

For 13 years of marriage, it is customary to give gifts made of lace, products knitted from fine wool. It would be ideal for a husband to give his wife a bouquet of lilies of the valley for their 13th wedding anniversary.
