WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
A 'wedding anniversary' is an anniversary which falls on the month and day a particular wedding took place, and which recurs every subsequent year, except for those who were married on February 29th. Married persons who regard the day of their marriage as important may mark the occasion in some special way.
The 25th (silver) or 30th anniversaries are often marked within the immediate family, (eg with a special family holiday), since they tend to coincide with the end of the child-rearing phase of family life.
Broader groups in society, especially the extended families (including any grand children), may help to celebrate later events, such as the 40th, 50th, and 60th anniversaries.
In the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries, one can receive a message from Queen Elizabeth II for the 60th, 65th, and 70th wedding anniversaries, and any wedding anniversary after the 70th.[1] This is done by applying to Buckingham Palace, or to the Governor-General's office in Commonwealth countries.[2]
In the United States one can receive a greeting from the President for any wedding anniversary after the 50. [3]
