Traditions and Modernity
A year after the marriage, the couple celebrate a chintz wedding. In the old days, on this day, the couple traditionally gave each other chintz clothes - a wife a shirt, and a husband a sundress. Relatives usually presented tablecloths, bedding, bedspreads, decorative pillows and other items from chintz or directly fabric from which the young wife independently sewed various things.
Today, on their first anniversary, husbands also give textiles, such as a bathrobe, pajamas or underwear. Fans of more original gifts order paired t-shirts with interesting inscriptions or their own photos. Unfortunately, chintz refers to fragile materials that wear out quickly, so products from it are usually stored as a souvenir and rarely used in everyday life.

As for the celebration, it is not customary to celebrate this date with a big celebration. As a rule, a couple spends it alone with each other or in a close circle of relatives.
