I found this list in the back of my wedding planning binder and I thought it is interesting. It might be kinda corny but I love things having to do with tradition. They are the traditonal gifts for each year married! Here they are; 1st year- Paper 2nd year- Cotton 3rd year- Leather 4th year- Linen 5th year- wood 6th year- Iron 7th year- wool 8th year- bronze 9th year- pottery 10th year- tin 11th year- steel 12th year- silk 13th year- lace 14th year- ivory 15th year- crystal 20th year- china 25th year- silver 30th year- pearl 35th year- coral 40th year- ruby 50th year- gold I hope you ladies that this was a cute as I did!

Re: Something Interesting
thats cool....i never knew all of these - just the big ones - like 10yr and 25yr...
reminds me of my great grandparents...i loved them so dearly and that is why i picked my wedding date. they were married on 2/20/27. Every 5 years my ggpa made a heart out of the material stated for that year and engraved their names and date on it...in my house they now hang...they died after reaching about 60 years together...he made one of wood, tin, crystal, china..and it goes on....your post just got me all teary eyed....
FH and I are always looking at this list and talking about what we would get each other!!! we are such losers at times lol but we are both all into traditions... cant wait to get paper on the 1st one! better be some nice paper
