The History of Wedding Days
The tradition of celebrating wedding anniversaries began in the 16th century in Germany, where special anniversaries were celebrated with gifts made of various materials. In Sweden, the tradition took off in the 18th century, and since then materials such as cotton, silver and gold have become symbols of the development and strength of love.
