In our article, we will talk about a bronze wedding. How many years of marriage are celebrated? What to give the family on this day? Congratulations in verse will be considered by us.
Anniversary Description
The bronze wedding is 22 years of married life. Sufficiently long period of time together. And everyone had to endure over the years: joys and sorrows, pain and resentment, the fulfillment of dreams and the collapse of illusions.
And if true feelings between husband and wife, after 22 years, they not only remained the same, but became stronger, established themselves, enriched by the opening of new horizons in each other and in relationships. During this time, there was more patience and gratitude, mutual support and compliance.
And the wedding anniversary is not just called bronze ...
A bit about bronze
According to ancient sources, this anniversary name comes from the characteristics of bronze (a metallic compound of copper with other alloying elements other than zinc).
The properties of this material are compared with the relations between spouses who have lived a little more than two decades. Since, on the one hand, bronze is flexible and pliable, beautiful and stable, but on the other hand, it still needs to be polished and faceted.
For example, bronze, in which copper with tin is the oldest alloy. For the first time, products from this metal compound appeared more than 5 thousand years ago (even before our era) in the Middle East.
And what is surprising, they made the most necessary things for life from bronze: furniture, jewelry, dishes, coins. Even weapons and guns. And in ancient Greece, masters cast bronze sculptures (the manufacturing technology and composition of this alloy is used to this day!).
Also in ancient times, bronze bells were made from an alloy of copper and tin. Moreover, the master varied the composition of the alloy and the size of the workpiece, thus achieving the result of the work of their most beautiful sound.
So 22 years of marriage already allow you to "adjust the composition" of relations (something less, but something to add) and get a new quality of life together. After all, the partners over the years spent well studied the characters and habits of each other. Therefore, they can already carefully regulate their relationship.

1. The table is set, the glasses are ringing.

In bronze is cast every year:
Whoever leads is the one who drives
Whoever is wiser will yield
Smoothes, tolerates and forgives.
2. Bronze is a strong alloy
And malleable metal.
So your long-term union -
Steadfast, but hard work
Still going on:
Face the flaws
And polished over the years
Spirit, patience magic
And acceptance in each other
Personal strength is nature!
3. Bronze wedding -

And how many lived and accepted everything.
But retained the tenderness
And love is like in a song
What is pouring like a stream -

To all winds to spite!
