Want to know each wedding anniversary stands for?
A wedding anniversary is an anniversary which falls on the month and day a particular wedding took place, and which recurs every subsequent year. Married persons who regard the day of their marriage as important may mark the occasion in some special way. Broader groups in society, especially the families (including children) of such a couple, may help to celebrate such events; this is particularly common on the 40th, 50th, and 60th anniversaries. In the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries, one can receive a message from Queen Elizabeth II for the 60th, 65th, and 70th wedding anniversaries, and any wedding anniversary after the 70th.[1] This is done by applying to Buckingham Palace, or to the Governor-General’s office in Commonwealth countries.[2] In the United States one can receive a greeting from the President for any wedding anniversary after the 50th.
