A wedding anniversary is a special day that marks the anniversary of a couple's marriage. It is celebrated annually, often with gifts, parties, or romantic gestures to honor the love and commitment shared between partners. Common milestones include the first year, known as the paper anniversary, and significant years like the silver anniversary for 25 years and the golden anniversary for 50 years. Couples may choose to celebrate their wedding anniversary in various ways, such as going out for a special dinner, taking a trip, or hosting a gathering with family and friends. Each year can have traditional gifts associated with it, like cotton for the second anniversary or diamonds for the sixtieth, adding a personal touch to the celebration.
