A wedding is a very important event in the life of two loving hearts. This day will forever remain in the memory of a couple in love. In addition, every year this date becomes a special holiday, which I want to celebrate together or with family and friends, enjoying this special day. Any wedding anniversary is special, has its own unusual name, symbolism, original customs. The more years the lovers lived together, the stronger the objects that are symbols of the anniversary. It is worth considering in more detail the 35th anniversary of the wedding, what is special about it, how to celebrate it, and what is better to give.

Thirty-five years of marriage is a pretty significant date. During this time, the couple was able to go through joys and sorrows, ups and downs. They already have children who, most likely, have already acquired their own families. The thirty-fifth anniversary of the wedding is a pretty significant date. "Newlyweds" deserve admiration, because they managed to preserve their love and go together a considerable part of life.

The anniversary of the 35th anniversary of the wedding has three names.

• Linen. Spouses who married 35 years ago are often associated with the canvas, because their love can be described as strong and reliable. Everyone knows that the production of the canvas is a very hard work that requires attention and diligence. So is family life - to live together for so many years, you need to be able to listen to each other, to compromise.
• Coral This wedding anniversary received such an unusual and beautiful name, because it is compared with this stone. Corals slowly but surely grow, forming first reefs, and then even large islands. And also coral looks similar to a branching tree. Comparing coral with the life of the “newlyweds”, it is worth drawing a parallel: a married couple already has children, and possibly grandchildren, which is associated with branches.
• Jade. This is another name for the wedding, from the date of which 35 years have passed. Jade is a fairly strong stone that is not so easy to crack, it is worth a lot of effort. For this reason, the wedding anniversary of a married couple who lived together for 35 years is so beautifully called.

One of the symbols of this holiday is precisely the linen cloth, because it personifies the strength of family ties, the real feelings of the spouses. This holiday was called jade or coral in Western countries, including the United States. For this reason, in the West, jade or coral acts as a symbol of this celebration.

Thirty-five years from the wedding day is a very important celebration, because during this time two people survived quite a lot: both pleasant and sad, managed to have children, established life, and “got used” to each other. Already now it is possible to say with accuracy that all this time has been spent in vain, that people really love each other and were able to carry this love through so many years.

Any wedding anniversary is distinguished by its unusual traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. Of course, part of the traditions is forgotten, the other is preserved, the main thing is to understand their essence in order to fully realize the importance of such a celebration. In the times of Kievan Rus, the symbol of the 35th anniversary of the wedding was a canvas that personified strength, comfort, mutual respect and harmony in the family. It is worth paying attention that the canvas in Ancient Russia was a charm of the Slavs, therefore it was always held in high esteem. On this day, it is necessary that the "newlyweds" were surrounded by linen things, you can even dress in linen clothes.

Another symbol of the 35th wedding anniversary is coralTherefore, it is worth using bright objects when decorating the celebration. "Newlyweds" managed to build a strong and happy family in 35 years, which is associated precisely with the coral reef. But their family is made up of many rubbish, grievances and disagreements, pleasant surprises, important decisions, happy moments.

Since ancient times, there is a rather interesting tradition, according to which a young couple should spend the night before the 35th anniversary apart. They can spend the night either with friends or with relatives, but of course, their parents are ideal. Everyone should take a special thing with him that will remind him of his soul mate. An interesting fact is that many people are quite emotionally experiencing even such a small separation, because before that, they might not even have parted. It is very difficult for some “newlyweds” to observe this tradition.

The next morning they meet, joyful to see each other. Just then they should ask each other forgiveness for all insults, disappointments and unpleasant moments in their life together lived. This ritual should be carried out in private. A great solution would be a romantic place. If the holiday will be held outdoors near a river or lake, then it is possible for the "newlyweds" to make their speeches on the boat away from everyone else.

After forgiveness, you should wash your hands in water in order to cleanse yourself, and then lower the plain scarf or green shawl into the water. This procedure is also a fairly important tradition.After this, the couple can return to the guests and begin to celebrate the anniversary of their life together.

Following traditions, it is worth paying attention to the clothes of the husband and wife. Outfits should be festive, bright accents are welcome. To design the venue of the event, exclusively linen fabrics should be used, it is better to forget about synthetic ones.

Celebrating 35 years of living together should be very vibrant, rich and noisy. Many guests should be invited to the celebration, including a relative, friends, acquaintances. For the celebration, you can order a restaurant, although a chic feast can be done at home. To emphasize the 35th anniversary, it is worth using various attributes. First of all, it is red color and linen. So, tablecloths on the table should be made of linen, it is better to put expensive red wine with long aging on the table, ideal if it was made 35 years ago.

If there will be many friends at the holiday, then you should take care of the leader, you should call him in advance. He will be able to perfectly organize the celebration, as well as provide fun for all guests. If you have the desire and strength, you can independently make the evening program by inventing various contests and entertainments, but usually the “newlyweds” want to enjoy the holiday, and not entertain their friends.

It is worth considering some of the most successful solutions.

• Retro style party. Such a holiday will allow the "newlyweds" to plunge into the years of youth. An excellent choice would be to recreate the exact wedding that took place 35 years ago. It is worthwhile to warn the guests in advance so that they can properly prepare: pick out the outfits and hairstyles of those years. The car of the “newlyweds” can be decorated with a doll by putting it on the hood. When choosing a car, it is worth giving preference to the Volga, because before this car was in great demand. When choosing alcoholic beverages, homemade alcohol should be preferred: wine, tincture and moonshine. Do not forget about music, because it will recreate the atmosphere of past times. A good addition would be a competitive program. You should hold old contests, which are quite rare today: dancing on a newspaper, singing feast songs, passing bottles to each other without using hands, and much more.

• Holiday in the style of Chicago. The era of luxurious women, brutal gangsters and influential mafia will be an excellent choice for creating a party in honor of the 35th anniversary of married life. Women should wear bright, shiny dresses, and as a decoration on their heads choose a ribbon with a feather. Strict suits with butterflies and, of course, elegant hats are ideal for men. The table is better to arrange in the form of a buffet table. Small tartlets and canapes are great. When choosing alcohol, it is worth giving preference to balm, vermouth and whiskey. Various gambling games are suitable as entertainment. And, of course, we should not forget about the musical accompaniment. In this case, the ideal choice is jazz.

• Masquerade. You can choose a certain theme of a masquerade ball by organizing a celebration in the chosen style. Each guest should come in a suit, not forgetting about the mask. You can choose any character, for example, from your favorite movie or fairy tale. The choice is up to everyone. And as an entertainment, you can ask each guest to make a miniature, depending on the chosen character.
• Holiday according to the traditions of another country. You can celebrate the 35th anniversary of living together in the form of another wedding, but to bring diversity, you can spend it on the traditions of another country. The Indian wedding will look spectacular, because everyone knows Indian films.The husband should have a turban on his head, and the wife should dress in a bright sari. Spouses will be able to once again pronounce vows of love, exchange flower necklaces with each other. Indian music in the background will add color to the holiday. You can use the traditions of another country, but it is worth remembering that this option is suitable for those celebrations where there are few guests, and financial opportunities allow it to be held.

You can celebrate the 35th anniversary of a married couple in nature. Of course, this is not an extravaganza, but a great option for people who like an active lifestyle. A picnic in nature is the best choice in the warm season. Swimming, cycling can be used as entertainment. But in winter you can go to a ski resort, go skiing, as well as skating or sleigh rides with horses.

If the "newlyweds" want to spend a holiday in a small company, you can arrange a quiet family dinner, which will bring only the closest friends and relatives. In such an atmosphere, you can enjoy watching old wedding photos, have a new photo shoot, watch an old movie or dance to your favorite music.

But real romantics, of course, want solitude in order to be together, to relax from the hustle and bustle of the home. In this case, you can go to a restaurant together, where you can relax with live music. If possible, it is worth going to some significant place and there to celebrate the anniversary. Well, of course, do not forget about the trip, because this is a great reason to spend a few days together. Go to the country that I wanted to visit for a long time, but did not have enough time or money.

For every holiday it is customary to give gifts and, of course, on the anniversary of 35 years of marriage, it is also worth presenting gifts. First, the spouses give each other something special, and then they still receive common gifts from relatives and friends. When choosing a gift, you should first of all be guided by the taste preferences of the "culprits" of the celebration, but also remember the symbolism of the holiday.

It is customary to congratulate the “newlyweds” on their 35th anniversary of marriage with various interior items that will help ensure comfort and harmony.

Cutlery, curtains and tablecloths are also suitable. On textile gifts you can make embroidery. The initials of the couple will help to make the gift unusual and special. You can choose a stylish vase or figurine, which will be made of jade or coral.

A man must congratulate his beloved on such an important date in their married life. It is worth starting from the name of the wedding, which option is closer to them. If you consider the anniversary as a coral one, you can present luxurious coral beads or a magnificent bouquet of 35 scarlet roses. To congratulate your spouse on a jade wedding, it is worth choosing an ornament from this stone, it will become a symbol of this holiday.

A gift from her husband should be original, convey his feelings. Of course, the ideal option is if it is done with your own hands, because it is a kind of message to the wife, in which love, care and tenderness should be transmitted. It is better to forget about pots and pans, since such a gift can not be called special. It is better to present to your beloved a beautiful jewelry, exquisite perfume or charming underwear. A woman should feel important and loved.If it’s difficult for a man to pick up a gift of this kind, today you can buy a gift certificate in various stores where the wife can choose a gift on her own. If possible, a ticket to your favorite singer is a noteworthy gesture. And, of course, women always like spa treatments, so every woman will appreciate a certificate for visits to a stylist or cosmetologist.

If a woman is quite easy to please with a gift, then it is much more difficult for a man. It is necessary that the gift surprised him that it is not so easy to do. A woman should know very well the tastes of her man so that her gift is important and desirable for him. Based on traditions, at the 35th birthday a wife can present her husband with coral, jade or linen shirt as a symbol of this holiday. But such presents are unlikely to surprise a man.

It is better to build on the hobbies of your life partner. For example, if a man likes to fish, then a fashionable fishing rod equipped with various details will definitely appeal to him. A football fan can buy a ticket for the next match. If the spouse is fond of sports, then he will be delighted with the subscription to the gym. For men who dress in an office style, you can present exquisite cufflinks to a shirt. And of course, expensive perfume is also a pretty good choice.

For such a long period, the couple already have a common circle of friends who have become like relatives to them. Close friends know the heroes of the anniversary quite well, so choosing a decent gift for them should not be very difficult. On this day, a married couple can present a beautiful interior item. For example, household appliances will be an excellent choice, because they know for sure what their close friends do not yet have. The magnificent picture on a certain subject also will not leave the “newlyweds” indifferent. And, of course, the service can also be presented on this day. The main thing is that the gift should be with all my heart, and so that later the couple could remember this day together when they will drink a cup of tea from the service or admire the picture on the wall.

Anniversaries already have their own family. They have children, and some have grandchildren. The closest people will definitely want to present a worthy, unusual and necessary gift to their relatives. Children can please their parents with the fact that they will undertake the organization of the holiday, because you should spend quite a lot of strength and nerves to make a luxury event. They should choose a place in advance, invite guests, book a table, arrange a venue and so on. Of course, parents will be aware that this cannot be called a surprise, but it will be a great help, which they will definitely appreciate.

If children have the opportunity, then it is worth giving a jubilee a trip. A luxury gift will be a trip to the coral islands. Wealthy people can congratulate their parents with more expensive gifts - give an apartment or a cottage. Or just buy something that parents had been dreaming about for a long time, but could not buy for themselves. This gesture will be their best gift.

If there is no way to surprise your parents with an expensive gift, then it’s worth picking up the option that the “newlyweds” will like, will cause joyful emotions. A great gift will be memories. That is, you can make an album or a collage with photos from the life of your parents, you can record a short video where not only photos will be used, but also small video greetings from the loved ones themselves. Photos should be live, convey emotions, mood or significant events from the life of the spouses.

If parents love animals, then you can give a small pet. A small bird or aquarium fish will become a common activity for them. Children have already grown up and left their home, and now the pet will be an outlet for them. They will be able to give him their care and affection. And if the spouses have a summer residence, then you can consider the option of a tree.It can be planted on the day of the holiday, and then every year to watch it, how it grows and grows stronger. A tree can become a symbol of their love and family.

It is not necessary to give practical and useful gifts, because you can present so many original gifts that will surprise anniversaries. One only needs to show imagination, then their 35th anniversary of a joint wedding will be unforgettable. It is worth considering in more detail a few unusual congratulations.

• Collage. Photos always convey a lot of emotions, and if you design them as a collage, you can make a whole story. You can use old photos, find those where they are still small. An excellent choice would be to design a wall newspaper, on which you can write congratulations to the “newlyweds”. The choice is up to the designers.
• DIY presentations. Such a gift will definitely cause a storm of emotions among the "culprits" of the celebration. If you have creative abilities, you can draw a portrait of the “newlyweds” yourself, bake a cake, make a beautiful embroidery in the form of a picture or a doll in the form of a married couple and much more.
