That flew the whole year after the wedding ceremony. You learn to live together, adapt to each other's shortcomings. The bright flame of love is slowly turning into the even fire of the hearth.
What is the first anniversary called?
The first anniversary of life together ... The roots of its name - chintz wedding - lie in the long tradition of giving diapers and clothes for babies on this date, because often during this period the spouses become young parents. And the relationship partly resembles this material: at first, the colored and bright chintz quickly loses its color and changes its structure, often this also happens with relationships.
According to traditions, they celebrate a chintz wedding in a narrow circle of relatives and friends, although, by and large, this is your personal holiday and you do not need extra guests.
There are many different signs and ceremonies regarding the chintz anniversary.
- For example, it is undesirable to let strangers into the house on this day, this may wake up the unfaithfulness of the spouses.
- If you woke up at the same time on your anniversary, you should wait for a replenishment in the family.
- Bed linens and clothes should be clean and well ironed, wrinkled and wet items indicate a malfunction in the family.
- On the 1st anniversary, the spouses should give each other a piece of clothing. If it is a scarf, life together will be built on daily work, if the shirt is based on mutual love and fidelity.
- If this day brought only joy and harmony, then further life together will be even. If the newlyweds quarrel - the relationship is still immature, the spouses have not yet "gotten used to."
- In case you called the guests, you need to pay attention to who is the first to cross the threshold of your home. A man is for money, a woman is for a child.
- Since ancient times, on the day of the chintz wedding, in Russia, they held a ceremony of tying knots. The couple gave each other scarves of chintz, knotted knots at the corners. It was believed that they were a symbol of the desire of the newlyweds to carry their feelings through the years.
