The Fiftieth Wedding
Anniversary has been celebrated for centuries. In medieval Germany husbands, on
their fiftieth wedding anniversary would present their wives with a golden
wreath. This was said to symbolise harmony.
A more modern idea is to
purchase a new set of wedding rings, have them inscribed, and exchange them in
a Renewal of Wedding Vows Ceremony. The Renewal of Vows Ceremony might include
the warming of the rings by all the relatives and friends present.
The flowers associated with the 50th anniversary are Violets while the
Anniversary is symbolised by the gift of gold.
A memorable way to celebrate the fiftieth wedding anniversary is for
the couple to arrange a family reunion, inviting relatives close and distant.
Wedding memorabilia, together with family history, could be part of the
anniversary decorations.
