It is believed that feelings between spouses resemble this expensive and high-quality material. Velvet is a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Many couples celebrate this date on a grand scale, but there are those who prefer a modest celebration in a narrow circle. Let's take a closer look at what kind of wedding is celebrated for 29 years of marriage, and what to give a married couple on this day.
Traditions associated with the twenty-ninth wedding anniversary
If we consider the number 29 from the point of view of numerology, then the number 2 is unity, and 9 is the direction to perfection. The result is a favorable prediction of strengthening the alliance and relationships.
Each country has its own special traditions of celebrating this date. In America, the symbol of this day is new furniture. It is clear that during such a period of living together, the old furniture has already worn out and needs to be replaced.
Since the wedding is velvet, it is customary for spouses to wear clothes made of this fabric and walk around in it all day.
If a married couple organizes an identity, then the table should be covered with a velor tablecloth. This is one of the main conditions for the celebration.
All items of clothing used on this day are not thrown away, but are inherited by children if they are already married. There is a belief that this tradition will make children's families stronger, and they will also be able to celebrate this date.
