What can be presented for 33 years of marriage?

One third of a century has passed since the time when the newlyweds took their vows to love each other in grief and joy, in illness and health. Mendelssohn's march died down. It was such a welcome and wonderful evening. He is remembered in such detail, in such detail that it seemed that they had just left the registry office. But 33 years have passed since the creation of the union. 33 years of happy moments, various trials that tested love on the fortress. Various difficulties that met on the way, and obstacles were left behind. Spouses for such a long time already got used to each other, many things became more clear, more familiar, there is no more infantility in relations. The union has become strong and stable.

No wonder the 33rd anniversary is called the “Stone Wedding”. This is a very impressive and very significant date. All problems and mistakes after so many years seem so small and insignificant. But usually it’s cute and a little stupid test remembered on such dates. It is worth remembering that in such a long and strong relationship, romance is lost, everything is slightly boring. It is anniversaries that can recall how it all began, how the alliance was born, breathe a new wave of feelings and make it clear how valuable such relationships are.

For many cultures, the number 33 had a special and significant meaning in human life. At 33, a person reaches a certain milestone when there is a rethinking of his life, plans and aspirations. A person becomes quite old, he has seen a lot and experienced, but new horizons are still waiting for him. The same thing happens with relationships - for so many years of living together, partners have learned to be a continuation of each other, they do not need much time to understand and take action.They are more likely to compromise because they have learned to build relationships together.

Stone is a very strong breed, it is quite difficult to destroy it. Neither water, nor any other interventions can even leave a crack in the stone. Similarly, with relationships. They are not afraid of adversity and trials, because they have already gone through a lot, they have nothing to fear. The 33rd wedding anniversary is also called the “Strawberry Wedding”. This name is given for a reason. There is still playfulness and sweetness in relationships from communicating with each other. Spouses learned to value relationships, to be understanding with everything and forgive insults. Understanding came that love is not only crazy passion, but also mutual respect, care, support and bestowal.

But in each country there are a number of traditions regarding the celebration of such a big date. Even if you take into account such a different approach to celebrating and the complexity and subtlety of each mentality, it all boiled down to one important fact that only a truly loving couple who learned to sacrifice themselves, their hobbies, desires and dreams for the sake of their partner, can live so many years together.

For example, in China, such a date is usually celebrated with special splendor and brilliance. Preparations begin, if not six months, then exactly a few months. By its significance and scale, such an event can overshadow the wedding itself, which was in the past. In China, such a wedding is often called the "Anniversary of the Fire Dragon." So that happiness does not leave the family and continues to delight the spouses - they must bring the dragon 33 gifts in the form of wine, fruit and other dishes that will be on their table.

There are two different interpretations of the festival in the USA. The first refers to the tribes of the ancient Indians that lived there before Columbus discovered America. And the second is later and more modern. Indians performed various rituals in honor of the anniversary. Women cooked food for the whole tribe, and in the evening this important event was celebrated in the circle of the tribe. In modern America, things are a little different. Spouses usually renew their oaths to the priest, swear to love and build their relationship further. Instead of rings, they exchange bracelets in which there are stones.

In Europe, due to their mentality, such a date is not particularly celebrated. For couples, one of the most important and reverent moments is connecting with the family in a cozy house at a round table. It is important to spend a quiet evening together without having a grand celebration.

A gift is, first of all, an expression of feelings and significance, as well as a sign of attention. Each time, at a certain date, people ask themselves what gift to give. A gift should be meaningful and necessary, be beneficial and not be an ordinary “dust collector”. On such large dates, the responsibility for the gift increases several times. It must become special and unique.

The question “what to give” torments not only children who want to please their parents, but also the spouses themselves. After all, for them it is just as big and important an event. One of the wonderful gifts that you can give spouses will be paired rings. Again, as if for the first time, they will be able to renew their vows, agree to become husband and wife, and exchange rings.

You can enjoy a romantic dinner in a good restaurant with nice music and a fine menu. Or organize a trip to a cafe where the first date of lovers took place. After the cafe, they will be able to walk through memorable places. A good gift will be the opportunity to go on a honeymoon, to a resort or recreation center.

Any gifts with a strawberry symbol - pillows, tablecloths and bedspreads - will be relevant. All this will be a very sweet and playful gift.

All gift ideas that are associated directly with the date are very relevant, but quickly exhaust themselves.Of course, a large strawberry cake will be a very interesting gift and will be remembered for a long time. But children always want to please their parents. Therefore, the choice of a gift is always very thorny and difficult. Here are some gift ideas that will clearly delight spouses.
