After you have received an invitation to the wedding anniversary celebration, be sure to check with the spouses: “How long have you been together?”. A "pearl" wedding may not be far off - and it is precisely such an anniversary that has many beautiful customs and features.

"Read" symbol

The "Pearl" wedding is celebrated by spouses who have lived together for 30 years. This stone symbolizes the strength of relationships, fertility and undying love between husband and wife. No wonder it was chosen as a symbol of such a date - the years, like pearls of a necklace, are strung on a thread, and everyone around admires the beauty of the snow-white "masterpiece".

So, soon you will attend such a celebration as a "pearl wedding". How many years the spouses have been living together, you already know, now it is important to properly prepare for the celebration. It's about choosing cards, planning toasts and, of course, buying gifts.

Pearl gift

It is very important to present the right gifts for this date - especially the spouse needs to be well prepared. The "pearl" wedding is celebrated. Howyears together, husband and wife, so many pearls should be on the string of the necklace, which the husband should present to his half. This, of course, is an ideal situation - in any case, such was the tradition at one time among the southern Slavs.

If finances do not allow, you can present your wife with not very expensive jewelry, such as a bracelet, hairpin, ring or earrings. A pendant might be a good choice. After all, you have been together for many years - a "pearl" wedding is not a reason to skimp.

It is important that the gift must contain at least one pearl (you can also artificial). The requirement also applies to guests - you can always check with the spouses who will give what and to whom, so that later you can pick up a successful couple.

What will the guests present?

A gift in the "theme" for the 30th anniversary of living together can have as an element and "packaging" from a pearl - a shell. Products made with mother-of-pearl are welcome: figurines, all kinds of candlesticks, souvenir shells. Just show your imagination to surprise the heroes of the occasion and guests with your gift.

It is allowed on this day to give a married couple, if they, of course, have no objections, a pet. And the reasons for this choice are clear - children no longer live with their parents, and in an empty house, a pet can partly fill this “niche”. If you want to make a surprise, you can give the family a young tree in a pot, which will be especially symbolic if it is somehow connected with the horoscope of at least one of the spouses.

Perform rituals

If the spouses have been together for many years, the "pearl" wedding should take place in compliance with important rituals. When the morning of a significant day comes, the husband and wife should throw a pearl into any pond (it is allowed to replace them with coins), and then at home at the mirror swear to each other an oath of eternal love. It is believed that the ritual is able to restore depth to feelings.

Also on the morning of the anniversary, you need to visit the church - it's good if you have time for the morning prayer. Be sure to light three candles that will symbolize your gratitude to God for your soulmate, for the wonderful years and for the time that lies ahead of you.

At the celebration itself, you can joke a little. There is a ritual that will allow you to pass on your marital experience to an older child who is already married. This rite checks whether a young couple can be together and for how many years. "Pearl" wedding gives you all the rights. The legs of a young couple are tied with a rope - in this position they need to walk along the ribbon, which they put on the floor. For each step, a coin is issued. At the end of the journey, the heroes of the occasion will give them a ring, symbolizing a long journey side by side.
