Many couples, having been married for 19 years, do not know what kind of wedding this is and how it is recommended to celebrate it. The date has its own traditions, symbols and history. What kind of wedding is 19 years old and what do they give? More on this later.
Wedding anniversary of 19 years: what is it called, features and traditions
It's called a pomegranate wedding. The date symbols are hyacinth and pomegranate. The first is a beautiful flower or valuable mineral that represents tranquility.
Initially the symbol was garnet stone, not fruit. Subsequently, the perception changed, and the pomegranate fruit took the lead in this matter. It is believed that after 19 years, the couple’s relationship is so strong that they are compared to hard pomegranate seeds. By this point, most families experience a period of prosperity and stability.
Reference. There is a belief that if spouses exchange jewelry with a pomegranate, this will protect their union from negativity and evil spirits. Therefore, from ancient times it was customary to exchange rings decorated with pomegranates on the wedding day.
A burgundy colored stone is used as a symbol to celebrate this wedding anniversary. There are also some traditions associated with this date. Among them:
- The celebration takes place in a modest family circle. It is recommended to invite only close friends and family.
- Hyacinth is placed on the table for decoration - a symbol of the 19th wedding anniversary, which will add a pleasant aroma to the room.
- There is a tradition when guests shower the entering spouses with hyacinth petals. You shouldn't clean them up later. They should lie on the hair and clothes of the spouses all evening.
Husband and wife are encouraged to give each other gifts. They do not have to be expensive, but symbolic and pleasant.
If you plan to use invitations for guests, let them be painted in a burgundy shade. Decorations at the celebration should also be in a similar color scheme: balls, ribbons in a burgundy shade. You can make a fake pomegranate from ceramics or plaster.
The menu should contain dishes that contain pomegranate as an ingredient or simply as a decoration. Spouses should choose outfits that include burgundy shade. You should definitely present your wife with a bouquet. For him, it is preferable to choose tulips, roses and peonies.
