Glass symbolizes the purity and transparency of the relationship between husband and wife, after fifteen years of joy and sorrow, victories and failures, unrest and anxiety. But this material, unfortunately, is very fragile. Such are the relationships after 15 years of marriage. They can be broken from innuendo, from little things in life, from quarrels. Family happiness directly depends on how much the couple understand each other, how much they value the peace of their hearth and love.
A glass wedding of 15 years is a rather serious anniversary in the annals of the family. Over the years, the couple got used to each other, put up with the shortcomings of the second half, learned to appreciate the dignity of a marriage partner. Shared memories, mutual friends, common property. In a family, a child grows, maybe not one. The house is usually up to fifteen years of matrimony wealth: built or purchased an apartment or house, perhaps there is a car or a cottage. Spouses accepting congratulations on a glass wedding have so many common topics for sincere conversations, common problems. They have something to lose.
So is it worth breaking, like glass, the fragile happiness that they have. Very often, it is during this period that families are destroyed due to accumulated grievances, irritation, inability to concede. Many spouses call these problems dissimilarity of characters. But they spent fifteen years side by side, in which there was a lot of good. There were happy moments, common sorrows and worries that united them. Should I lose my happiness because of trifles? Glass is a fragile thing, but if it is treated with care, then this material will last a long time. So the relationship of spouses who have survived to the fifteenth wedding anniversary should be carefully preserved by both, like expensive crystal or patterned glass.
For 15 years, weddings are usually presented with gifts made of glass or crystal. Original glass goblets, glasses, glasses and wine glasses will be an excellent gift, fortunately, there are a great variety of them now: colored, hand-painted, on colored legs, etc. A wonderful gift will be candy cans, salad bowls, napkin holders, all kinds of glass pots and baking dishes. It will be nice to present anniversaries hand-painted with paints a vase or colored glassware. If spouses love animals, you can give a glass figurine of a dog, cat or other creature. And how many interior items can be picked up as a gift for anniversaries ?! The main thing is to show imagination, so that your gift will be a pleasant surprise for the “glass couple”.
You can give “Young” a watch or jewelry with Swarovski crystals, and a man can get a set of glass beer glasses or mugs, an original shaped ashtray (if he smokes). To the festive table, the happy couple should wear something light (for the wife - something with transparent inserts).
At the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the wedding, spouses exchange crystal or glass wine glasses or glasses. The names of anniversaries can be engraved on them. Such glasses will be stored in the family for a long time, as a memory of an unforgettable day - 15 years of wedding. Of these, "glass newlyweds" will be drunk at their subsequent wedding celebrations.
The festive table needs to be served with glass and crystal dishes. Pour champagne only in crystal glasses. The celebration lasts until someone specially breaks a plate, a glass or a glass of “for good luck” “newlyweds”.
