Agate wedding: congratulations on 36 years of marriage, anniversary gifts for husband and wife

As a survey conducted by our editorial office showed, the vast majority of married couples with more than 30 years of experience annually celebrate their wedding anniversary as a small family holiday - a family birthday. This confirms the version of psychologists that couples who observe family traditions live to significant dates in their married life.

In many families, anniversaries are celebrated modestly, in the home circle, without any regard for folk rituals. If you are interested in the popular names of weddings by year and the traditions associated with them, read about the anniversary of “36 years of wedding”; perhaps this information will be useful to you personally.

What kind of wedding is this, what is it called?

As you prepare, don't forget what kind of wedding this is. According to Russian tradition, the day of the 36th anniversary of family life is called the same as the 14th anniversary - an agate wedding, and according to American and European tradition - bone-porcelain (bone china anniversary). We will focus on the first one, and you will learn not only what the 36th wedding anniversary is called, but also what the tradition of its celebration is, what gifts you should expect on this day. First, a few words about the stone itself.

1. Agate is a very unusual, beautiful gem; it is considered a semi-precious stone, but a valuable ornamental one, therefore it is often present in jewelry made of precious metals.
2. Agate is a type of chalcedony and is distinguished by its banded color and layered texture.
3. In nature, there are also types of agate with almost uniform color or with various dotted inclusions.
4. Obviously, this stone symbolizes the beauty of relationships in a family that has crossed the 36-year mark, although the American-European name hints at their internal fragility with external strength and strength.

Over the 36 years of life together, the relationship between the spouses is strong and indestructible.
In most “wedding calendars,” the 36th anniversary is omitted or missed altogether. But people who are accustomed to celebrating their family’s birthday every year do not pay attention to this little taboo and still celebrate their date with their family. And how not to celebrate, because by this time most families have not only adult children, but also grandchildren, they consider this day a good reason to get everyone together. We also share this point of view, considering how many years the spouses lived together before the agate wedding, and we propose to treat it as a holiday.

Agate wedding symbols

Why was agate stone chosen to celebrate this anniversary? Everything is quite simple, since agate is a semi-precious stone that is endowed with mystical meaning. It is said to bring prosperity and wealth. In addition, the stone is so strong that nothing can destroy it. Over the 36 years of living together, the spouses’ relationship is also strong and indestructible.

The color of the agate is amazing, each stone has its own fancy patterns that are not like the others. You can look at pebbles for hours and not find a single identical pattern. Each family is also individual, different from the other.

There is an interesting psychological test where the spouses must examine the surface of the agate and tell what they saw. If a husband and wife have built the same associations, then it means that the couple has built a strong relationship over the years.

In Europe and the United States, the thirty-sixth wedding anniversary is called the bone china date. This material is quite fragile, but at the same time durable and attractive. You need to look at bone china products to enjoy its delicacy and transparency. With strong impacts, cracks appear on such material, and difficulties can also arise in family relationships if they are not taken care of. But for sure, over 36 years, the spouses have learned to take care of their relationship, because otherwise they would not have been able to live for so many years!

Scenario for the 36th wedding anniversary

The 36th wedding anniversary is an event that is traditionally celebrated in the home circle. The best option would be for the couple to have privacy. You can have a romantic dinner or go on a trip. Either at sea or to the nearest city if it is not possible to take a vacation.

You should not rely on age and the opinions of others. This day belongs only to the couple and happens only once in a lifetime. Therefore, it is important to conduct it the way the organizers of the event themselves wish. If you are unable to travel far from home, you can choose one of the following options for holding the event:

• You can have a romantic dinner with live music and fine alcohol in your favorite restaurant. Or where the wedding was celebrated 36 years ago. If the establishment is still operating. During dinner, you can remember the brightest moments of their life together, discuss painful issues, resolve unresolved issues and personal details of the marriage. The main thing is to avoid conflicts;
• Another option for a home celebration is a romantic dinner in a cozy atmosphere. A romantic atmosphere can be created using background music and special lighting;
• You can celebrate an agate wedding at an exhibition or any other cultural event. then visit places that are significant for the couple in the city. With the help of joint leisure, you can become closer to each other, as well as take your mind off problems and routine;

On this date, physical touch, hugs and emotions will be appropriate. The main thing is that they must be sincere. Such simple actions will remind each other of the warmth of feelings and help maintain it for many more milestones.

A family celebration with generations of children and parents is an excellent event option. Considering the symbolism of the holiday, it is recommended to decorate the table with a light tablecloth. And the room should be bright and sunny. Lightweight textiles made from flowing fabric are appropriate. You can cover the table with transparent fabric in sunny shades, creating an uplifting mood for guests and spouses. You can set the table using porcelain dishes, and for tea drinking use a service made of the same material.

The obligatory highlight of the evening should be a family tea party from a porcelain set. For tea, you can serve a pie from your wife’s signature recipe, which will demonstrate her culinary abilities, formed over such a period of time.

Festive menu for a wedding anniversary

The key to a successful event is a carefully planned and appropriate menu. The following table setting options are ideal for celebrating an agate wedding:

• As cold appetizers, you can serve lavash rolls with various fillings, as well as various profiteroles and tartlets. The festive table will be decorated with tomatoes stuffed with various fillings and topped with a good layer of cheese;
• Don't forget about salads. For variety, you can prepare 3-4 options for the evening. You can diversify the menu with vegetable, meat and signature salads. Thus, satisfying the needs of both vegetarians and guests who are difficult to surprise with something special;
• There are no special requirements for an agate wedding cake. It can be prepared either manually or purchased ready-made from a trusted store;
• As a main dish, you can use both pilaf and manti in large quantities with various fillings.

In order for the hostess to make good use of her time in the process of preparing for the event, the following practical tips should be taken into account:

• There is no need to cook too much food for one evening. After a holiday, dishes are usually finished within a day or two, and after that a large number of dishes may simply disappear. And the housewife’s efforts will be wasted;
• It’s worth thinking about drinks in advance. In addition to alcohol, it is important to diversify the non-alcoholic menu. Among the guests there will probably be non-drinkers, so carbonated drinks and good quality juices will be a completely appropriate addition to the main menu.

What to give to a husband or wife who have lived together for so many years

On the day of an agate wedding, a husband and wife can give each other elegant things inlaid with agates:

• boxes, bowls, cups;
• cigarette cases, cufflinks, other accessories;
• earrings, rings, pendants and other jewelry.

Given the Euro-American name for a wedding anniversary, a husband or wife can be given items made of porcelain (dishes, an elegant figurine) or ivory (for example, Chinese chopsticks).

The husband must also take care that his wife is not left without flowers on the occasion of her 36th wedding anniversary, but give them not as many as they lived together (since the number is even), but in an arbitrary quantity.

Agate wedding traditions

In Russia, they began to celebrate each anniversary only recently and no specific traditions have been formed, but several traditions still exist. Spouses give agate jewelry to each other: a bracelet, chain, ring, cufflinks, etc. In addition, the husband and wife can add anything at their own discretion, because they know each other’s preferences better than anyone.

Many married couples refuse to celebrate this anniversary, some do it because the date is not round, and some believe in superstitions. They are afraid that their life together, like porcelain, may break, but they should not believe in such superstitions. After all, the married couple have lived together for so many years, so their relationship certainly cannot be destroyed if they celebrate their 36th wedding anniversary.

You don't have to have a grand celebration. Sometimes a romantic evening in a cafe for two or a modest family dinner with children and friends is enough. The spouses should also choose congratulations for each other and prepare gifts for their 36th wedding anniversary.

What do they give to friends?

If you are going to visit friends for an agate wedding, think about what to give them:

• porcelain service;
• interior item in agate color;
• ivory souvenir.

You can order an original portrait on canvas of a married couple based on a photograph in the Dream or Digital Art style, made against the background of an “agate cut.” Any gift given from the heart will be pleasant to friends.

Original agate watch

Gift for wife

The best gift for a wife is attention. Prepare your beloved breakfast, help in the kitchen before guests arrive, write a gentle congratulation.

Products with agate will serve as a symbolic gift for your wedding day:

• Earrings. The design can be classic, pretentious, or modest.
• Ring. This is a symbol of unchanging love and fidelity.
• Beads, pendant, heart-shaped pendant. They testify to the sincerity of feelings.
• Bracelet or wristwatch.
• Brooch. An appropriate decoration for middle-aged or older women.
• Casket. A convenient decorative item for storing jewelry, photos and other personal items.

What gift should I give my parents?

Since the 36th wedding anniversary is often celebrated among grandchildren and adult children, the latter should prepare a congratulation for the parents in advance. In the words of congratulations, it is advisable to thank the parents for preserving the tradition of celebrating the family’s birthday, for teaching their children to love and care for each other by their example. Then wish the parents health, prosperity and long years of marriage.

Usually children give a gift together; it does not have to be a themed gift, but something that your loved ones really need. In this case, there is no shame in asking your parents what they would like.

How to celebrate your marriage anniversary

Non-anniversary dates are rarely celebrated with pomp and ceremony, and the 36th anniversary of the creation of a family is no exception. Even those who celebrate family birthdays every year try to make this holiday quiet and family-friendly. If the spouses have friends who themselves remember this day and will probably come to congratulate without an invitation, you can organize:

• a small feast with tea and sweets;
• gatherings in a cafe;
• "little picnic"

The less noise on this day, the better.

Congratulations and toasts

Beautiful congratulations on the golden wedding

Which cake to choose

According to surveys, many families celebrate family birthdays exclusively with tea and cake, and only celebrate anniversaries on a large scale. In this case, at least the cake should correspond to the theme. Modern confectioners are able to create a culinary masterpiece on any theme you desire. Explain to them the purpose, give them a few hints (agates, ivory, porcelain), and they will prepare for you an agate wedding cake that will outshine real gems in its beauty.

If you want to bake the cake yourself, use chocolate icing, multi-colored coconut flakes, and butter cream to decorate it.
