Not all spouses are well versed in the names of wedding anniversaries. Silver and gold dates remain popular, but the others also deserve attention. For example, mother-of-pearl anniversary. What date is this and which presents choose?
What do you give for your 42nd wedding anniversary?
Buying a gift for the 42nd wedding anniversary is not much different from choosing a gift for another occasion. As a rule, it is recommended to proceed from the practicality of the chosen item and its symbolism. The latter lies in the predominance of pearlescent notes in the gift. This could be the shade of the gift itself or its packaging.
Practical things are in the interests of the spouses. You can give them a common gift or two different ones. First, you should carefully clarify what exactly the family would like to receive for their anniversary. If there are no preferences, it is recommended to rely on the hobbies and interests of the spouses.
To my husband
According to tradition, a woman must sew her own shirt for her husband, which will have mother-of-pearl buttons. The item will turn into a strong amulet for your loved one and will protect him. It’s better to do everything yourself, but when this is not possible, you can buy a shirt. If the buttons on a product are not suitable, they are altered.
The anniversary has its own traditions of celebration. One of them concerns guests. It is recommended that those who were witnesses at the wedding 42 years ago attend the celebration. Maybe not in full force. Gifts are exchanged between spouses in the morning.
The tradition of a mother-of-pearl wedding is swimming in a pond before dawn. Spouses perform a similar ritual together. Water is a symbol of healing and getting rid of diseases. The sun represents the beginning of a new period. In modern conditions, you can not use a pond, but simply take a joint shower early in the morning. This is especially true for those whose wedding anniversary falls in winter.
When implementing the tradition of swimming in a natural body of water, you need to remember about health. It is recommended to consult a doctor so as not to harm the body with such procedures.
The date is not round, but it should be celebrated. You can invite the same guests who attended the celebration 42 years ago. It is not necessary to arrange a magnificent feast - it is enough to spend the holiday in a small circle of close relatives and friends. Spouses can renew their vows.
