Green is a symbol of freshness (feelings), youth (family), and also inexperience. However, the latter has already lost its relevance in our time: often, before officially registering a marriage, a couple lives together for quite a long time, runs a common household, so she already has experience of living in a family, even without a stamp in the passport. And this is very good - there will be fewer disappointments, because the newlyweds have had time to properly study each other, and this will help avoid unpleasant surprises.

There are no rules about monthly anniversaries.

What does a wedding anniversary mean?

In the old days, the wedding took place after the wedding in the temple, that is, they were virtually identical. Nowadays, marriage is social ceremony, but more and more couples want to seal their relationship with church marriage. It is not always possible to combine marriage registration at the registry office and a church wedding on the same day. Perhaps this is for the best, because a church ceremony requires a completely different mood, and the wedding bustle makes it difficult to achieve it.

A characteristic feature of our time has become the wedding in church of couples who have been married for decades

A wedding is one of Christian sacraments, during which grace descends on the bride and groom, and their family life seems to be filled with a new, divine meaning.

There is also a whole series mandatory conditions, in particular, a wedding dress should not have open shoulders and a deep neckline (therefore, brides are recommended to cover their shoulders with a scarf), etc.

For many people, wedding day is the most joyful day in their lives. Or one of those, because the birth of a joint child is much greater happiness. The name of weddings has very deep roots and even modern educated minds cannot come up with a better name. After all, in the old days, people felt nature much better and, identifying each person with it, they found those truths that modern psychologists teach for a long time in educational institutions.

But what is this for? After all, modern people are accustomed to celebrating only anniversaries without attaching importance to the intermediate ones.

Wedding day. This is the very first anniversary. It is the wedding day itself and the starting point for new anniversaries. The green wedding is celebrated during the first year after the conclusion of the marital union every month on the wedding day.

Green wedding - one month from the date of marriage (and also two, three, four...)

Everyone knows about such anniversaries of the married life of spouses as a golden, silver, or diamond wedding. Even a considerable number of people have heard about a wooden or, for example, chintz wedding. But the fact that the month from the date of marriage is called a green wedding is a revelation for many. It’s unfair, considering that almost all young spouses treat this date with reverence and celebrate it. By the way, to be completely precise, not only a month anniversary is called a green wedding. But let's talk about everything in detail.
The first day of marriage itself, that is, the day of the wedding itself, is considered a green wedding. And you can celebrate it monthly throughout the first year of marriage, of course, on the very date when the union was concluded. That is, a green wedding is not only exactly a month from the day when he and she officially became spouses, but also exactly two months, three, four, and so on, up to eleven. A haven for wonderful romantic celebrations, isn’t it?
Symbolism green wedding obvious. The couple have just started their family life, they cannot get enough of each other, their feelings are fresh, like spring greenery that has just appeared. And marriage itself during this period can be compared to a young green twig in which life is born. It is also significant that in many cultures, including ours, green color traditionally associated with youth, purity, freshness, and inexperience.

Is a green wedding celebrated and how?
Everything is clear with the celebration of the wedding day, but what about the anniversary in a month, two months and beyond? Most newly married spouses (one would like to kindly call them “green”!), without even knowing about the existence of the concept of a “green wedding,” celebrate it. You’ve been together for exactly a month now - how can you not celebrate such a date? The same applies to the following months. As for the traditions of celebration, there are no strict frameworks here, but there are some recommendations.
Good way to celebrate a small but very significant anniversary of the marital union - spend a tete-a-tete evening in a romantic atmosphere. Where and how exactly? Depends on the preferences of the spouses, financial capabilities, characters. This could be a home-cooked dinner by candlelight, or a trip to a restaurant that feels like a date. The main thing is a romantic atmosphere, tender glances and touches, flowers, appropriate music. If you want, you can celebrate a green wedding in the circle of your closest relatives and friends, but it is better, at least on some monthly anniversaries, to organize holidays for only two.

What to give for 1 month from the wedding day and in the following months?
An excellent gift for a young wife from her husband for a green wedding - flower bouquet. A woman can emphasize with her gift her care for her chosen one and tenderness towards him, for example, by preparing something delicious. Indoor plant- another gift option, no matter from the wife or husband. Moreover, it coincides with the symbolism of the wedding anniversary that we are talking about. But if your heart asks, and finances allow, then you can give each other more serious things - from rings to romantic trips.
What to give for a green wedding if you are a relative or friend? Tradition speaks in favor of plants. Especially a good gift there will be a living tree - a symbol of a young family. Parents can be recommended to give their young spouses a myrtle tree. In the past, in some countries there was beautiful custom: on the wedding day, the bride’s parents planted a myrtle tree, and when the marriage was a month old, they gave it to their daughter’s husband. With this gift they seemed to say: “May your feelings always be fresh, like an evergreen myrtle, and may your family grow.”

A wedding is not only a day of uniting two hearts. This is an ancient custom with deep roots and traditions. The tradition of celebrating weddings by year arose about 2 centuries ago. Then only wealthy people who had the money and leisure to hold a celebration could afford it.

Gradually, this custom penetrated into all layers of society and acquired its own characteristics. In our area, only anniversary ones are usually celebrated, while some anniversaries are simply skipped and left unattended. But each mark is an important part of family life and has its own nuances, so information about them will be extremely useful.

It must be taken into account that not all anniversaries have their own symbolism and are celebrated, since, according to ancient beliefs, this can lead to misfortune and the breakup of the couple.

The celebration of anniversaries does not end at a golden wedding. Svadebka.ws is in a hurry to introduce you to wedding anniversaries and their names after the 50th anniversary:

• 60 years -diamond wedding . The husband and wife managed to withstand the adversity of fate. According to other versions, this anniversary is also called platinum or diamond.
• 65 years old - iron wedding. Lots of ups and downs, joys and sorrows, all lived together. After so much time, the hearts continue to keep their rhythm in unison. The family “iron” was tempered by joint trials and difficulties, and polished by joyful moments.
• 70 years - a blessed wedding. Stay together after a long time life path- great grace. The anniversaries probably raised children, grandchildren and had great-grandchildren. Big Friendly family- the best achievement of the spouses.
• 75 years old -crown wedding . This kind of phenomenon seems impossible, but on this day the spouses will once again be convinced of the correctness of their life choice.
• 80 years - oak wedding. It is this tree that can stand for a whole century, withstanding bad weather, hurricanes and storms. Oak is associated with eternity, which is very symbolic for the 80th wedding anniversary.
