Does numerology not approve?

Numerologists do not like the number “29” for some reason that only they understand. And they do not recommend celebrating this anniversary at all. Like, the date is not round, and it is better to prepare mentally and financially for the Pearl Wedding next year. But people, after so many years of living together, know how fleeting time is. There comes an understanding that it is worth appreciating every moment and every reason to celebrate.

And the Velvet Marriage Anniversary is, no less, 29 years of marriage. The figure undoubtedly deserves respect.

Velvet wedding traditions

According to one of the popular traditions of the date, spouses can sew together a heart from velvet fabric of any shade. It will later serve as a family talisman and is often passed down from generation to generation. If you sew a heart from various velvet scraps, you can remind each other of how much effort and time was spent on creating a strong family “piece by piece.” The initials of the couple, embroidered on velvet using any method, are considered a mandatory attribute of the talisman. If you show your heart less to others, you can use it to make a powerful amulet against the evil eye, damage and the influence of a negative environment.

The presence of velvet is very important in the couple's image on this day. Girls can wear either a beautiful velvet dress, or use a piece of material in their look, for example, a belt or hairpin, or shoes. The spouse can support the theme of the date by wearing a velvet tie or an accessory made of the material, for example, the same belt.
