We often get asked the question, “How many years is a silver anniversary?” What’s the big deal? Why all the fuss?
In short, we’re talking twenty-five years, a quarter of a century, your silver jubilee. While every anniversary is a time for celebration, there aren’t too many milestones in one’s life that compare to this.
Having spent over two decades together, making magical memories with your one true love and partner-in-crime, you might be wondering: how much better can it get? Well, it goes without saying, your 25th wedding anniversary is cause for celebration and excitement!
If this year marks 25 years of marriage for you and your other half, here is your complete guide to your Silver Anniversary:
WHAT IS A SILVER ANNIVERSARY?
For centuries, couples have been celebrating their anniversaries according to the number of years they’ve been married. Each year is associated with a symbolic material that represents its significance, providing a fun and sentimental guide for gift-giving.
For 25 years of marriage, the traditional anniversary gift is silver. For that reason, your 25th wedding anniversary is also known as your Silver Anniversary, and appropriately so. A symbol of clarity, protection, and healing, silver embodies the romantic qualities required to maintain a strong and abundant connection. Like love, with proper care, silver will always stand the test of time.
