Nowadays, it is difficult to live a happy family life with one partner. People get married, then get divorced, some get back together, and some go on a free voyage in search of a loving heart. Therefore, after the first years of marriage, each anniversary of life together is worth its weight in gold . How many years later is the emerald wedding celebrated? The Emerald Anniversary is 55 years of married life. How to properly plan such a celebration? What should the cake be like, how to arrange invitations and entertain guests of the event?
The most grandiose dates are the half-century mark (golden wedding) and above. Going through all the troubles of life and sharing joyful moments with your soulmate for as long as 55 years is evidence of a strong marriage . This deserves a major celebration, the organization of which must be approached carefully, without losing sight of a sea of important details.
Why is it called so - emerald
To answer the question - why was emerald chosen as the symbol of the 55th anniversary? – you need to know what kind of stone it is. Emerald is a precious stone. Its soft greens and vibrant beauty become visible only after careful cutting by an outstanding craftsman. It’s the same in life together – spouses go through a multi-year cutting process . By this time, they truly appreciate each other, have experienced a lot together (including quarrels, disagreements and other unpleasant moments) and have learned to see themselves in their other half. His second feature is inner light fire . If you look at our emerald anniversaries, it seems as if they together are a powerful emitter of spiritual strength and warmth. The main reason for choosing this particular stone is that it is extremely rare . Unfortunately, not everyone can live to see such a date. But to live so many years together is to live a lifetime. In many cultures, emerald represents honesty, loyalty, and devotion . But, in fact, without these qualities, the heroes of the day would not have been able to live in marriage for so many years. Another point specifically related to cutting precious stones is that this requires outside help. In the case of stones, this assistance is provided by a jeweler - he is engaged in cutting and polishing. And if we talk about the anniversary, then the holiday for the 55 years of marriage of the “newlyweds” is organized not by them themselves, but by their children, often with the help of their grandchildren, because they, too, have already grown up.
Velvet wedding
29 years, 29th wedding anniversary – Velvet Wedding
The family ship of this wonderful couple has been sailing on the endless sea of life for 29 years. He is not afraid of the endless expanses of the ocean or strong storms. Even the ninth wave is not scary! This ship landed on the shore in Velvet Season Bay. This period is considered the most favorable for relaxation and good time. In fact, the children have already grown up, graduated from college, and started families. And spouses can devote more time to each other, traveling and relaxing, meeting with friends. And also invite them to your holiday. Having lived together for 29 years, they celebrate the Velvet Wedding.
Know: today you can dress in velvet from head to toe. Velvet exists in different incarnations: for loving spouses, you can choose a long straight velvet dress for the lady and a velvet shirt for the gentleman. Let them, having tried on your gift, feel the full force of attraction of loving hearts - velvet beckons and seduces... Affectionate, gentle, luxurious - it is impossible to resist. Don't forget to say that royal robes were made from this material! You can sew it too! And may the newlyweds keep this royal robe until the crown wedding, and may it mark the seventieth anniversary of their marriage!
Customs, rituals - or how to spend this day
There are no established rituals that should be performed by spouses on this day. However, there are quite a large number of traditions that they try to adhere to.
Experience is the main wealth
The couple are already quite elderly. Their long life is certainly full of events, meetings, solved problems and real miracles. All together this can be called an experience. It is this experience, or rather, a piece of it, that the “newlyweds” must pass on to future generations in stories and memories. In this case, the grandchildren of the heroes of the day will take the experience.
Family decorations
Another beautiful tradition is that jewelry given on this day should become a real family item and be passed on from generation to generation . Sometimes on this day, grandmothers give their granddaughters their jewelry, so that their marriage, following the example of the older generation, will be just as happy.
The fact is that jewelry has a very interesting feature - it is able to “accumulate information” from those who wore it. If you get such a thing from your grandmother, a beloved and loving person, then it will certainly bring happiness.
Gifts for loved ones
This refers to the gifts that the spouses themselves give each other. It is unlikely that they will give emeralds. But you can make a new setting for old stones, or vice versa - insert new stones into a piece of jewelry that is truly dear to both. Traditionally, the celebration is organized by children. However, you should not do this in secret from the heroes of the day. You definitely need to listen to their wishes regarding the celebration and the people invited to it.

Celebration scenario
As already mentioned, the children of the heroes of the day are involved in organizing the celebration . This is both a tradition and a tribute to age, when it is already difficult to think through and organize everything yourself. You shouldn't order a huge banquet hall. Elderly people will be pleased with your efforts, but they will feel much more comfortable in a homely, intimate environment. You can decorate everything, including the table and cutlery, beautifully with green ribbons and flowers.
In the holiday scenario, the main role is given to the heroes of the day. Children as leaders only direct them in one direction or another.
A big part of the whole holiday is memories. You can make a photo presentation and ask the “newlyweds” to comment on each photo. You can also beat the competition . For this you will need a projector and old photographs. Friends of the heroes of the day will have to answer approximately what period the photo was taken and say a small comment on it. a photo collage to the heroes of the occasion and all invitees . Its components are wedding photographs from all anniversaries and dates, starting with the very first – green wedding – wedding day. You can even draw a parallel between these dates and their symbols, because it’s not for nothing that they have the same color. Don’t drag out the holiday too long - this can be difficult not only for the celebrants, but also for many of their friends . A few snacks, light wine, sweets and tea in a cozy atmosphere with memories, friends, children and grandchildren will delight today's “newlyweds” much more.

Holiday greetings
What to gift
Of course, the main gift is emeralds . Moreover, this gift can be shared - let children, grandchildren, and relatives chip in. All together they will be able to buy either two ready-made jewelry with emeralds, or just two small beautiful stones.
- There are no special requirements for gifts from guests . But it is worth remembering that the heroes of the day are people of very respectable age. Their value system has most likely undergone major changes. Therefore, it is hardly worth presenting new and expensive things. This is only possible if the desire of the “newlyweds” themselves to have “something like that” in the house is known for sure.
- A good option would be things that make life easier or brighter for older people . For example, several people might get together and buy a new TV with very high picture quality.
- A rocking chair is also a great choice. But in this case, the gift must be a pair - one such chair for each.
- If spouses are still involved in dacha affairs at this age, then you can unobtrusively ask them in advance what they still need in their dacha . Maybe they want to see a gazebo or fountain there?
Let's find out what the symbol of the second wedding anniversary is and how it is customary to celebrate it. We want to tell you how you can decorate the presentation of comic gifts to newlyweds.
- Another category of gifts is intangible . Or partially material. Restoration of old things dear to anniversaries, photographs and other things. You can take the trouble to compile a new photo album, which will display all the main periods of the life of a married couple, or make a video from family filming collected into a single whole in chronological order. It is also possible to restore things and objects that are of value only to the heroes of the occasion.
Most likely, there will not be too many people invited to this holiday, so you can always agree with each other and make sure that gifts are not repeated at all. And in conclusion - a short video in which emerald anniversaries will tell about their rules of life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4srrqxPS74

Don’t be sad, mom and dad, you have lived a great life, you may not be young as you once were, but you have merged in body and soul.
Today you are not just a couple, you are a union that everyone loves and honors, Your passion sounds like a guitar, Your feelings play, boil.
