Each family has its own rules and traditions. Someone loves peace and quiet, while someone is always glad to see guests and is ready to throw a feast on the whole world. Now we will talk about how best to celebrate 22 years of marriage.
What is this date?
Everyone knows that every year a married couple celebrates a certain date. For example, three years of living together is a leather wedding, 10 years is pink (or tin), 18 is turquoise. And if the young family is still happy to celebrate their first “anniversaries”, then things can be a little different, because everyday life and daily activities and worries often make people forget that the next anniversary is no less important than, for example, a birthday. After all, in fact, this is the birthday of a new family. So, 22 years of living together have passed, flown ... What wedding is celebrated? Bronze! A logical question may arise: "Why exactly?" Everything is very clear here, because bronze is a fairly malleable material when alloyed. The same can be said about spouses who have lived together for such a long time: they know when it is better to yield to their partner, and when you can insist on personal opinion.
Characters
The celebration in question has its own symbolism. So, a traditional gift is, of course, bronze. However, the Americans call this date also copper. The stone, which symbolizes the time span passed by the spouses, is spinel of any color.
The party together
So, the couple behind their backs have 22 years of marriage. What kind of wedding is celebrated - it is known, now it is important to think about how best to spend this day. Ideally, of course, it is better for the husband and wife to be together: it would be nice to go to your favorite restaurant, visit a movie or theater. The main thing is that everything that happens is to the liking of both spouses. A wonderful option is to go on a short trip or go to the sea. This is already possible, because the children most likely have already grown up and become quite independent, and everyday worries can be postponed. It is important not to forget to take pictures and shoot everything that is happening on video, in extreme old age it will be a great find when spouses want to postalgize and remember the fervent past.
Family Celebration
How else can you celebrate 22 years of marriage? What kind of wedding it will be - is known, so the celebration can be done in a bronze style. However, most likely, it will not be a gorgeous dinner party, because the date is not round, but, so to speak, an intermediate party. So you can only invite relatives and close friends. You can celebrate the wedding day at home, and in the warm season - outdoors. Would you like to? Well, nobody forbade going to the cafe. What can be foreseen from the special? Why not “newlyweds” on this day remember their wedding vows and not knock down the results: was everything you loved fulfilled? You can chastise your spouse or spouse comic, but you must definitely praise and thank for everything that has been done. It is also good to give new vows, which are likely to be comic and funny.
Table
This paragraph is addressed to women. On the nose - 22 years of marriage. What wedding does without a feast? Especially in our country, where everyone likes to walk and have fun. What to serve dear guests? We will adhere to traditions and symbolism. Therefore, prepare dishes rich in copper (the American version, but nothing will do). No, this is not about metal, although it is not a sin to use bronze for table setting, if there is such an opportunity. As for the treats, cod liver or beef liver, squid, walnuts, hazelnuts are suitable. But this is far from a complete menu, diversify it well with your spouse's favorite dishes. Cocoa must also be present on the table, and light wine or champagne from alcohol.
Traditions
It is good if spouses are remembered every wedding day. 22 years of marriage should not be an exception. So, for example, for every anniversary it’s nice to attend a certain master class. On this day, you can go for artistic forging of copper or bronze and there you will find out the properties of these metals, see how work with them goes. Well, of course, you must definitely try to do something yourself, and leave this souvenir as a reminder of a bronze wedding. An interesting idea would seem to be a bronze medal. Well, again, I want to remind you that everything needs to be shot on photo and video tapes, it will be an excellent memory.
What to gift?
Knowing that 22 years of the wedding is a bronze
wedding, gifts must be prepared accordingly. You can, of course, give the family a table set or household appliances as a gift - this will never be superfluous. However, it is better to adhere to traditions and give bronze or copper products (by the way, bronze is an alloy of copper with tin). What can be presented from such a metal? The easiest option is a bronze figurine. However, in this case, you need to take into account the size of the housing and the gift, as well as the interior where the donated item will be located. In a one-room tiny apartment, it would be inappropriate to look like a large bronze horse with wings (a la present from the film “Office Romance”). So you need to think about this option very well. A mirror in a beautiful bronze frame will not seem superfluous. There is always a place for such a gift. And he will look very attractive. You can also present various bronze candlesticks, photo frames or paintings in frames from the corresponding material. An interesting gift will be a bronze
table clock (however, just in case, it is better to take a ransom for such a present - a pretty penny), as well as chess made of the mentioned metal. What else to give for 22 years? What kind of wedding is known, you can try playing with another symbol of the day - spinel. This stone can be used to decorate a jewelry set - to give a husband and wife a pendant. A copper
coffee service will be appropriate, from which all guests can immediately treat themselves.
Interesting gifts
What else is presented for a bronze wedding? In addition to presentations from this
noble metal, you can try to beat the number 22. So, why not give the couple a couple of 22 chocolates? Just giving sweets to the “newlyweds” is at least banal. Another thing is to order separately covers for the mentioned present (for example, in a printing house). What can be depicted on them? If a couple takes pictures every anniversary, then each chocolate bar can symbolize a year spent together and display the corresponding solemn day. You can make a wedding photo on each tile. Well, and so on ... there are a lot of ideas. It should be noted that such a gift will be remembered for a long time not only by a married couple, but also by all guests. Yes, to be sure, the serious wedding anniversary is 22 years. Therefore, it is quite possible to award the family with well-deserved 22 medals - for each lived year. Why not make them out of bronze? If a family collects something, you can present something from this area. It is also good to make a married couple a creative gift. You can write a verse for them, compose a song, draw a picture. Particularly expensive are handmade gifts — a knitted blanket, a photograph or a picture embroidered with beads. Grandchildren or children can make cards or small gifts from improvised materials. Such presentations are always pleasant and given to people whom they love, appreciate and respect.
