Wedding Anniversaries

Author: Mario Scicluna (TheWeddingSite.com)

Do you know someone who is about to celebrate a wedding anniversary? Then check the list below to find out whether it is a Tin, Silver or Golden Anniversary.

11th	Steel
12th	Silk
13th	Lace
14th	Ivory
15th	Crystal
20th	China
25th	Silver
30th	Pearl
35th	Coral (Jade)
40th	Ruby
45th	Sapphire
50th	Gold
55th	Emerald
60th	Diamond
75th	Diamond

As you can see above, the Diamond Anniversary is celebrated twice, 60th and 75th. Originally the 60th Anniversary did not count and the 75th was the only Diamond Anniversary.

The practice of celebrating it after 60 years has been adopted after Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee after 60 years.

This way it makes more sense as it's very hard for a couple to survive and celebrate 75 years of marriage!
