Traditions
are no longer what they used to be. This phrase is repeated so often that it
has started looking quite normal to us all. It has even become something like
certain norm of behavior and even denial of some rituals associated with
various celebrations, which have been imposed to us over the years.
Weddings are no longer an exception. In the end,
respecting the traditions of this very important day in every person's life
still remains a matter of personal choice. However, we must all confess that it
would be nice to celebrate your wedding anniversaries with your loved one and
make them happy for the fact they share their life with you.
Celebrating your first wedding anniversary
Going to a first-class restaurant, inviting some
friends and family for a dinner at home, a special vacation and even a
photo-session – there are literally hundreds of ways to celebrate your first
wedding anniversary.
The truth is that it is not so important how you are
going to celebrate your first wedding anniversary, as long as you do
celebrate it. Many young couples nowadays to go to a second honeymoon,
especially if they don't have children. Others organize a special dinner for
two at a fancy restaurant. Some couples, on the other hand, choose to make a
dinner at home, where they recreate their wedding day and put on the clothes
they wore when they got married. This not only makes the atmosphere more
special, but will also provide you with some memories that will last a
lifetime.
The first anniversary of your wedding is called a
“paper anniversary” or a “cotton anniversary” in some countries. The meaning of
the name is associated with the idea that the first year of the marriage is the
time when the husband and wife become a real family and get used both to each
other and to the everyday rhythm of family life. The best presents for this
anniversary are the ones made of paper, such as books, luxury photo albums,
bouquets of paper flowers, theater or concerts tickets, or even an reservation
for a vacation to some exotic destination.
How can you make your first wedding anniversary
special and memorable?
First, take some time to think of the things that
happened to you and your spouse during the first year of your marriage. Try to
organize a small surprise to your spouse in order to make them feel special and
loved. Go somewhere together or have dinner at home – just the two of you. The
choice is all yours and depends on the preferences of your couple.
As we have already said, some couples choose to
recreate the wedding party they had an year ago, or at least some of the
party's elements – they invite some guests, they go on a second honeymoon, or
make a thematic photo-session. No matter what you choose, the most important
thing is to have a great evening with your loved one and show them your love,
respect and affection the way you did over the last year.
Are presents an important part of your first wedding
anniversary celebration?
It is not necessary to buy something expensive. It is
quite all right to prepare a small but symbolic gift, which is romantic and
comes from the heart.
