Family life fills our everyday life with the warmth of loved ones, with different cares, moments of happiness and many more interesting things. Time flies by. Only the tenth anniversary was celebrated, then the twenty-year anniversary, they did not have time to blink, and on the nose there was not a round, but no less important date - 21 years from the wedding day. A large number of interesting facts and traditions are associated with this date.

To be married for 21 years is a lot of work, because during this time the couple is experiencing many wonderful moments, which do not bring much joy. It is opal, which is a strong natural material that has become a symbol of this date. Primarily, this stone carries a negative energy, which can bring discord to family relationships. However, under appropriate conditions, it can become a bonding component in the family, make spouses more lenient to each other, so that in quarrels, they can quickly come to a compromise.

Most often, after the twentieth anniversary of marriage, which is customary to celebrate lushly and loudly, they prefer to celebrate an opal wedding in a close family circle with their closest relatives and friends. At the same time, they like to give something small, but memorable.

Almost everyone asks why it was opal that became the symbol of this anniversary, because by its nature it does not like a person. According to beliefs, he brings only ailments and troubles. But in family life, he carries a completely different thing - firmness of intent, transparency of thoughts, empathy.This is exactly what is happening in the family of people who have been together for 21 years: the spouses are firm in their relationships, do not hide anything from each other and in difficult moments strongly support each other.

According to legend, only falling into the hands of people who sincerely love each other, this mineral changes its negative direction to the opposite. In principle, it can also happen in life: relationships will either become even stronger, or completely wither away. They say that it is during 21 days that an ordinary stone is turned into a precious stone. The same thing happens with love, which for 21 years from love turns into a strong family connection.

There are many interesting traditions associated with this date. “Newlyweds,” celebrating twenty-one years of marriage, should definitely purchase this gem. On the day of the celebration, wipe the opal with a white handkerchief, which should be dipped in vegetable oil: it washes away all negative energy from the stone. It is believed that for an opal wedding, each of the spouses should acquire for themselves what he wanted, regardless of the cost. Even if the purchase is very expensive (jewelry, car), it will become a symbol of strong relationships in everyday life.

In order for happiness not to leave the house, you need to wear something with opal (earrings, ring, pendant) for a day or put a small piece of stone in your clothing pocket.

The twenty-one year of the wedding comes after a bright porcelain anniversary, at which it is customary to gather many friends and relatives. An opal wedding is a good reason to spend time with your soulmate.
