wedding anniversaries
Yearly union celebrations
Wedding anniversaries are the yearly commemorations of a couple's marriage date.
Tradition assigns materials to milestone years—paper for the first, silver for the twenty-fifth, gold for the fiftieth—often guiding gift choices: They're celebrating their silver wedding anniversary next month.
The term typically implies the couple is still together; otherwise one speaks of what would have been an anniversary.
