wood anniversary
Five years married
A wood anniversary is the fifth wedding anniversary, following the tradition of assigning materials to marriage milestones.
Couples often exchange wooden gifts—cutting boards, picture frames, carved items—to mark the occasion.
They're celebrating their wood anniversary next month.
The symbolism suggests a marriage developing strength and durability, like maturing timber.
