32 years of marriage: what kind of wedding is it and how is the celebration celebrated?

32 years of marriage is a serious date. Spouses have fully tested their vows “in joy and in sorrow” and can share their experience of family life with others. It is great if the family celebrates every date, but in general it is customary to arrange a big holiday on anniversaries: 5 years, 10 years, and so on. The article describes in detail the name of such a wedding, what kind of celebration is better to arrange and what is recommended to give to your loved one on this day.

It seems that only recently was the thirtieth anniversary celebrated and followed by the fortieth, but another one crept in between them - 32 years of marriage from the day of the wedding. It is customary for the people to call this period - a copper wedding. It seems strange that there is copper in between the silver, pearl and gold anniversaries. In fact, our ancestors greatly appreciated this material for its properties. For example, copper is valued much higher than tin, and there is also a tin anniversary.

The name "copper" symbolizes the strength of marriage and at the same time flexibility in relationships. After all, these are the characteristics of this material. The anniversary is celebrated to hint that married life is safe and sound. One must remember to work on the relationship at all times. Thus, after 32 years together, a husband and wife should be able to negotiate, be more compliant in matters and seek compromises.

Another explanation. Copper symbolizes healing properties and beautiful appearance. Even in ancient times, it was used for treatment, and now it can be found in many medicines.

Each named anniversary emphasizes certain traditions and ceremonies. To carry them out or not is up to everyone's discretion. In general, the 32nd anniversary is not a date for which it is customary to arrange a magnificent reception. It is quite enough to celebrate the event in the circle of loved ones; some couples prefer to devote such a day to each other.

Perhaps the first rule is to try to make this day romantic for yourself and your soul mate. Romance still exists after 32 years of marriage. Forgetting about the holiday, quarreling and taking offense at each other is absolutely not worth it. According to legend, quarrels on this day will lead to conflicting relationships for the whole year.

Our ancestors, who put the family at the forefront, performed a number of ceremonies that have survived to this day. Some of the rites are quite simple and enjoyable to perform.

1. The copper anniversary symbol, as you already understood, is copper. Previously, they used to give copper jewelry. Nowadays, decorative items or cutlery can serve as copper elements. For example, figurines, vases or table decorations. If you buy a piece of jewelry, you can safely wear it on this day, and copper is also often used in buttons or other accessories on clothes.
2. In ancient times, husband and wife gave each other copper coins as a symbol of family prosperity and financial wealth.
3. It is recommended to hang a copper horseshoe on the door with the bows up. Usually a horseshoe brings good luck to the house.
4. You can adopt the tradition of other nationalities. For example, the French give each other rings and hearts made of copper wire. They are worn along with real wedding rings until the end of the ceremony. This adds tenderness to the holiday.
5. Another, already modern tradition, is associated with memorable places for a couple. All day you can walk around the city and make, in a way, an excursion into the history of the family. An excellent option to tell the children how and where their parents met.

When it is decided to celebrate the event, then it is necessary to resolve the issue with the gift. The easiest option is to give your wife or husband something that you really need. These can be any items, you should know that there is a need for such a present. An anniversary is a good reason to fulfill your soulmate's dream. If there is no specifics, then you should not choose ordinary options, the gift should be memorable.

For women, choosing a gift is easier.

• You can give a piece of jewelry with added copper. It must be chosen to taste in specialty stores or made to order.
• An individual household item. For example, your wife is a coffee addict. Why not present a good coffee machine or a beautiful Turk?
• It is worth choosing a new perfume for your beloved woman. Today there are services that allow you to collect a bouquet of smells yourself, thus showing your warm attitude.
• Flowers are a nice gift with or without reason. Choose a potted perennial plant to keep it pleasing to the eye for a long time.

There are also several ideas for the male half.

• An accessory that emphasizes status is suitable for a businessman. Such items include: glasses, a cigarette case, a business card holder, an expensive lighter, a watch or a belt. It is best to buy these things with a custom design and engraving.
• If the husband is a connoisseur of alcohol, then it will never be superfluous to replenish his collection with a bottle of elite wine or whiskey.
• Gadgets for repair, fishing or hunting. This decision will be relevant if your significant other has long wanted some kind of expensive "toy", but denied itself this.

The issue of gifts can be a problem not only for the husband and wife, but also for the invited guests. First you need to understand that the gift is meant for the couple as a whole. What will be interesting to both is chosen.

First, you can play with the symbolism of the anniversary and present something brass. It can be samovars, a set of dishes or a beautiful set of cutlery, large mugs, identical jewelry, caskets and other decorative elements. Of course, it is better if the host family likes these ideas, and they will find a use for the gift. Very often you can find unique gifts in a single copy in hand-made stores in your city.

You can not get attached to the copper theme and donate a book, picture, music disc and much more. Here a person is limited only by fantasy.

You can try to fulfill the dream of a married couple and send them on a trip, or sign up for a joint dance workshop, for example. Such an offer should be made to all invited friends and together present the cruise tickets.

If you have known the couple for a long time, then a do-it-yourself congratulation will cause a storm of emotions. This can be: newspaper, poetry, video, song or album with photos and slideshows. Usually, such gifts evoke very warm feelings, even tears, and are remembered for a long time. Throughout the year, the family will be able to watch videos, for example, add new episodes.

Another gift is to host the celebration itself. Often people do not want to celebrate the date or completely forget about the copper anniversary. In this case, you can make a surprise holiday, sparing the time and nerves of the heroes of the occasion. Of course, you need to try to find out the wishes of the husband and wife and translate them into reality. The task is not easy, but the result is worth it.

When buying a gift, you need to remember that its value is not important. What matters is the attention and your attitude to the heroes of the occasion. Do not try to quickly somehow solve this issue. Think about what this family, husband and wife really needs and give it. Even if it is something insignificant, the fulfillment of desire is priceless.

The 32nd anniversary in the time interval is close to 30 and 35 years. By the way, their name is pearl and coral, respectively. In the world, it is more often customary to celebrate anniversaries in a big way, therefore, a copper anniversary usually does not get festivities in a big way. This is not a reason to refuse them if you wish. There are 3 main directions for the development of the 32nd anniversary celebration.

• Arrange a day for two. A loved one is pleased to hear warm words of love and gratitude addressed to him, as well as to receive breakfast in bed. In the evening, you can celebrate your anniversary in a quiet and family style with a romantic dinner just for you. If you decide to devote the whole day to each other, then you need to go to the spa, entertainment center, or go even further and give each other an anniversary trip. Such a holiday will be remembered for a long time.

• The completely opposite option is a magnificent celebration. Due to its eccentricity, this anniversary can be a good reason to make a second wedding, not everyone manages to walk at the same wedding 2 times. Children will be happy when they see their parents' wedding. It is better to decorate the interior with copper elements as a symbolism of the event. It is imperative to have a cake on the festive table so that all life in the future is sweet. So that guests do not get bored during the celebration, you need to come up with various funny contests. Sometimes, for example, people borrow wedding contests and compare their current answers with their past. Such a holiday will certainly leave a mark on the memory, you will want to repeat it every anniversary.

• Last but not the worst option - celebration only with the closest people. These can be relatives, children and, for example, witnesses who were at your wedding when you were young. The celebration will be filled with memories, there will be a warm, cozy atmosphere. The room where the event will take place must be decorated with balloons. You can hang pictures of spouses and family members on the walls. Between the balls, you can place humorous congratulations in the form of a wall newspaper or large postcards. Everybody's favorite foods and drinks should be on the table. It is imperative to pick up a festive tablecloth and put flowers in vases.
• Family picnic Is a good solution for such a case. You can spend the day with older children and friends. The table should be set on the riverbank or on a beautiful lawn. Fruit vegetables and kebabs will become its decoration. The outdoor celebration will be remembered by everyone present. Songs performed to the accompaniment of a guitar will be a gift for spouses.
