Each joint marital date unites the family even stronger. They celebrate it in every house in their own way, according to traditions, the level of prosperity and the scope of imagination. You can spend a significant day with dear guests, but a holiday in private can leave an indelible impression on your soul. Even if it is not about a round date, such as, for example, 12 years of marriage.
What is the name of the anniversary?
The twelve years lived together are called a nickel wedding. This name may sound completely unethical, but nickel symbolizes the strength of the relationship. And this is exactly the quality that all couples strive for. This date is usually not celebrated on a grand scale, preferring to arrange a romantic celebration for two or gatherings with the family. Socially active spouses call close friends and relatives on this day to share the joy of a significant event with them.
The wedding, which happened twelve years ago, is still alive in memory as a vivid and dear to the hearts memory. Two halves have long become one and as a magnet attracted to each other. In life together there were already many difficulties and charms. Common children were born, life was improved. It's time to devote time to strengthening relations, to light the fire of sensuality and to establish harmony.
On the 12th anniversary of the marriage, the couple exchanges nickel gifts, emphasizing that feelings are still strong and indestructible. Three years before the anniversary, but they managed to rally so many joint years behind their back for joint plans and goals. There are so many common achievements and touching minutes ahead. A nickel wedding is a great occasion to remind each other of marital fidelity and love.
Traditions
The significant date of life together has its own established traditions. This applies to popular beliefs and the family structure. Many spouses return to memorable places of past meetings and acquaintances. Often couples order colorful professional photo sessions, create a romantic atmosphere in the house or retire in a cozy hotel. A honeymoon room is the perfect place to become the new tradition of one well-built family.
Another beautiful tradition could be “repeating the marriage.” For this, it is not at all necessary to spend money on the next wedding celebration. It is enough just to purchase nickel rings and exchange them at the place of fatal acquaintance or the first kiss. New oaths of allegiance can be prepared as a symbol of unquenchable love. Try to forget the grievances and do everything in order to tighten the bonds of family ties.
An excellent tradition is to sprinkle spouses with nickel coins. They symbolize wealth and promise it to the "newlyweds", and the home of a married couple is predicted harmony and comfort. It so happened that the couple, married 12 years old, packed gifts in foil and prepare congratulations in prose or poetic form. Metal gifts are welcome, according to the interests of the family as a whole or to each spouse individually.
What can I give?
This anniversary is hard to choose spontaneously gifts from nickel. You can not focus on this metal. An ideal gift from relatives and friends would be household utensils, such as:
- cupronickel set of spoons and forks;
- a lamp as a symbol of light illuminating a family alcove;
- memorial cards to husband and wife;
- silk tablecloths or bedding.
Silk is also a durable material, which can emphasize the strength of marriage. No wonder the nickel wedding is also called silk. In principle, any gift from guests will make sense if you put it in it and convey it to the heroes of the occasion.
What to give a spouse from a spouse?
Having crossed the ten-year milestone, the couple are already well versed in each other's preferences. Focusing on the taste of the husband, the wife will easily pick up the right gift and enjoy the search and delivery on the cherished date. So, if the head of the family likes long trips or fishing, a flask of nickel will be a suitable present. It is worth decorating it with an engraving as a souvenir and it will undoubtedly become the thing with which the spouse will not part in a short separation from the house.
In general, you should always choose gifts for your loved ones, focusing on their hobbies and interests. But a new gadget, accessory or decoration will please the strong half of the pair in any case.
What to present to the spouse?
It is easy for a beloved woman to please with a beautiful decoration - this will be an ideal gift. But it’s worth knowing in advance which stone suits her by the sign of the Zodiac, then a new ring, earrings or pendant will also become a talisman for her, namely:
- Aries can be pampered on the wedding anniversary of 12 years with an amethyst bracelet;
- Taurus amuse a necklace with turquoise or agate earrings;
- Gemini will like the decoration with jasper or beryl;
- Cancer will appreciate a ring with a bright ruby;
- The lion will be delighted with the jewels with amber and chrysolite;
- Virgo's wife will be delighted with jade earrings;
- Scales will definitely appreciate a pendant with coral or lapis lazuli;
- a strong Scorpio will look harmoniously in a ruby or aquamarine headset;
- the enterprising Sagittarius will gladly try on a ring with topaz;
- Capricorn will surprise onyx brooch;
- Aquarius amuse sapphires in earrings or a gift in the form of a garnet bracelet;

Important! Jewelery will protect your mistress from illnesses and avert the evil eye. As a rule, women are very attentive to iconic gifts and will be grateful to her husband for their care.
Celebration celebration
After a joint day with or without a photo shoot, spouses can arrange a symbolic feast in honor of their couple.According to tradition, the table is served with cupronickel appliances or a set with nickel sheen.
As for the dishes on the festive table, then every family prepares according to their own preferences and budget. If weather permits, you can fry meat or fish steaks on an open fire. Of alcoholic beverages, wines and champagne are preferred.
An important condition is not to bother the hostess with the preparations of the table, since this is her holiday, on which she must shine and rest with her soul. A good idea would be to organize a small scenario for the twelfth anniversary. Dances and contests are welcome, and the host does not have to be called from an agency. A family holiday is more suitable for your person in the role of a table ringleader. Surely one of the guests will easily cope with this role.
To complete the event, we recommend tea drinking with a real nickel samovar. Not too lazy to get this rarity, the couple will provide an unforgettable experience for themselves and everyone gathered for the holiday. The symbol of comfort and warmth will decorate the table with a festive cake, treat everyone with an unusually fragrant tea. Coffee is traditionally served in a nickel Turk. For fans of amazement, a chocolate fountain instead of sweets is a big fit. Fruits in chocolate will completely replace the cake, although rare couples refuse this dessert.
Pie is not what guests who come to the twelfth anniversary are served. A gala evening deserves baking to order, symbolizing something personal for each individual couple. It can be an analogue of a festive cake with rings and swans, cut twelve years ago on the wedding day. Or a delicious biscuit-cream surprise from close friends of spouses who wish them a sweet life together for many years. As noted, everyone will decide for himself, but the advice in this event will not be superfluous. Especially when it comes to strengthening the marriage, which has stood and improved over many years.
