A wooden wedding is a special anniversary of a married couple. It is associated with the fifth anniversary of life together, and this, you see, is a considerable period! Together, the difficult period of grinding and adjusting to each other’s character traits and building bridges between mother-in-law and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was overcome. Spouses know each other's weaknesses and know how to forgive them. They learned to respect the interests and needs of the opposite side, to make concessions and compromises, that is, in essence, “look in one direction”, without which the family simply cannot exist. Many couples by this time acquired their own housing or a car, made high-quality repairs in the house and updated the situation, which is also important. And even gave birth to one or two children. Thus, a wooden wedding is a kind of indicator of the stability and strength of the relationship that connects a husband and wife.
Symbols of celebration and possible gifts from guests
From the name of the date it is clear that its symbol is a tree: sprawling, with a lush green crown and powerful roots. It stubbornly resists everyday storms and hurricanes and will stand in the face of any element if the people who created the family want it. But what to present for a wooden wedding, for example, to relatives, whom the heroes of the occasion must invite to a richly set table (this is a tradition!)? Of course, wood products, preferably "in the house." It can be household items: various cutting boards, rolling pins, mortars and pestles, tubs and barrels, dishes, plates and spoons, bowls. With bright color paintings or scorched ornaments, they will decorate the kitchen and dining room, will delight the hostess and make her stay in the “catering department” more enjoyable. Another thing to present to a wooden wedding with benefit is the icons - personalized, i.e. associated with the patron saints of husband and wife, or of the Virgin, Nicholas the Wonderworker, the Savior. Of course, they should first be consecrated in the church. Such a gift will help maintain a favorable microclimate in the family, eliminate misunderstandings between households, etc. Especially it will be relevant for people observing Orthodox rites, visiting churches.
A good option of what to present for a wooden wedding is new eaves on the windows, a set of chairs, banquets or stools, a book or kitchen shelf or whatnot. And bamboo door curtains are fine. Of course, the young family acquired furniture, but 5 years is not such a long experience so that the spouses do not at all need some “household infusions” from their relatives.
Therefore, they will certainly be happy with such “supports”. What else to give for a wooden wedding yet? All sorts of souvenirs. This includes floor vases, watches in wooden cases, all kinds of figurines, caskets, candlesticks, lamps. It is great if they are made, for example, from juniper or sandalwood - these are medicinal breeds, their smell has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, relieves stress and headache, and extraneous negative energy.
Signs of attention from spouses
However, not only the couple’s close friends and family are racking their brains when their wooden wedding is approaching. “What should I give my wife?” - A loving spouse is probably tormented by such a question. And half of him is no less concerned. First, a wonderful gift on this day will be a very special, touching attention to each other, the desire to please even the little things. Secondly, give each other a real tree - fruit or conifer - by planting a seedling together. It will grow and personify the inviolability and strength of your family.
Nowhere to plant the present? Then buy a money tree or lemon, ficus - their positive energy will have the most beneficial effect on your home. The main thing is to do it together. After all, it’s not without reason that you have been side by side for 5 years!
The wedding is wooden. Congratulations that you will say must also be relevant. For example, wish good health to a spouse like that of an oak that has been living for 100 years. Or, complimenting your wife, compare her to a charming, gentle birch. In addition, the husband can give his wife aromatic oils in wooden bottles, wooden beads or a necklace, and other jewelry from valuable breeds. And the lady to the spouse, if he smokes, is a pipe or mouthpiece, an ashtray. And plus to this - both can make a gift in the form of vacation tickets. Finally, such a great idea: do it yourself or order in the workshops something like a family tree, where there will be special places on the branches to stick your joint photos and photos of children. It will be a wonderful memory of such a wonderful day!
The options, as you see, are the sea. The main thing is to do everything sincerely and from the heart!
