It is not only the love that once brought the spouses together that helps keep a family together for 45 years. Patience, wisdom, mutual trust and respect are no less important for long years of marriage. It is customary to celebrate anniversaries with close relatives and friends. Having received an invitation to a celebration, everyone thinks about choosing a good gift.
45th anniversary: what kind of wedding, features
The date was called sapphire. An amazingly beautiful, highly durable stone is suitable as a symbol of a 45th wedding anniversary like no other. In mineralogy, sapphire refers to corundums that are exclusively blue in color (although minerals also come in other colors). The shades of this palette are associated with calmness and tranquility.
The magnificent aesthetics of the stone symbolizes the noble beauty of the relationship between spouses, its strength - the strength of their union. A couple that has managed to keep a family together for almost half a century has wisdom in life, balance, shows respect for each other, radiates confidence, and values trust.It is thanks to these qualities that it is possible to maintain harmony in the family.
Such a date deserves a grand celebration. However, wedding celebrants themselves do not always want a noisy celebration. The main thing is to take into account their interests when choosing the format of the event.
Another ancient symbol of the 45th wedding anniversary is water. Calmness, regularity and depth are associations associated with this element. They are also suitable for characterizing family relationships after so many years of marriage.
What do you give for a sapphire wedding?
As a rule, gifts for such anniversaries should be associated with the symbolism of the celebration. Although it is not always possible to combine the theme of the holiday and take into account the preferences and wishes of the spouses.
When choosing a gift for your 45th wedding anniversary, you should pay attention not only to products with sapphire - especially since not everyone can afford them - but also to the blue color with which the stone is most often associated. The number 45 will also help support the symbolism. It can be applied in various ways to certain selected objects.
It is worth considering water symbolism.
The date of 45 years of marriage evokes respect and admiration; the venerable age of the celebrants evokes a desire to please, show care, and express the warmth of feelings. If you are guided by these emotions, it will not be difficult to choose a successful souvenir.
