What is given for the 7th wedding anniversary?

Although the seven-year wedding anniversary is not an anniversary date, this number is considered sacred and very significant in a magical sense. Therefore, the man and woman, who for seven long years have learned to build a strong union, filled with warmth and love, is still worth noting this day. Although a loud celebration is not necessary to arrange, but to go to some restaurant, to be alone and exchange gifts is simply necessary.

A copper wedding is celebrated when a married couple reaches 7 years of marriage. Her other name sounds like a woolen wedding. Copper is a fairly strong metal, therefore, symbolizes the strength of the union. In addition, its value resonates with the value of the family.

Finally, copper is a rather soft substance, which reminds the young ones that many times they will have to show plasticity, flexibility, the ability to find a compromise and adapt to each other. In another way, softness can be interpreted as follows: the couple have already softened and rubbed against each other.

As for wool, the first association that occurs when thinking about it is the warmth and comfort of the hearth. The same feelings should be present in the marriage. But do not forget that wool is also prickly, especially if it is improperly looked after. This statement can be attributed to relationships within the family.

As a rule, the morning of a copper wedding begins with a joint cleaning in the housein order to clean all the dirt and start from scratch a new page in family life.If something has failed in the native walls, then it's time to sew up the torn, repair the broken and throw away the damaged or unnecessary. Such cleaning is also required for the relationship of a married couple - they need to forgive each other's grievances, remember all the good things and be sure to say thank you.

Formal attire should usually include accessories made of copper or other precious metals. Moreover, their numerous use will be even by the way: according to legend, the ringing of bracelets and earrings attracts wealth and good fortune to the house. The table will also need to be served using copper utensils, and the main dish is served on a tray of this metal. Celebration, ideally, should be noisy and cheerful, therefore it is allowed to invite relatives, friends and colleagues.

The main requirement for gifts for a copper / wool wedding is the use of these materials. Therefore, if the guests managed to pick up something beautiful and useful, made of wool or copper, then the task was completed.
