What is the origin of the names of wedding anniversaries?
The names of wedding anniversaries originated in the 19th century, when Queen Victoria of England celebrated her diamond jubilee after 60 years of reign. This strong symbol was used to designate the diamond anniversary, and other precious materials were gradually associated with previous anniversaries.
Thus, the silver anniversary (25 years), golden anniversary (50 years) and platinum anniversary (70 years) were born, representing key stages in a couple's life.
