In our modern society, where the concept of 'till death do us part' sometimes seems like a relic of a bygone era, there is something unique about celebrating a golden wedding anniversary. It's a celebration of two hearts that have been united in love and partnership for five decades - a celebration of loyalty, strength and a love story like no other. And that's something that deserves to be celebrated.
A golden wedding in keeping with tradition
A golden wedding is an event that is associated with a number of beautiful traditions. Traditions help give the day an added depth of meaning and symbolism, and they help celebrate the incredible commitment and love that has survived the decades.
One of the most beloved traditions of the golden wedding is the erection of an honorary gate. It's a gesture from family and friends showing their support and love for the couple. The honor gate is erected in front of the couple's home either the night before or early in the morning of the wedding day. It is typically beautifully decorated with flowers, greenery and personal messages honoring the couple's long marriage.
On the day itself, the couple will be woken up by morning singing, delivered by their closest family and friends who have gathered to celebrate the special day. After the festive wake-up call, it's time to gather around a communal breakfast table while sharing happy memories of the couple's journey over the years.
One of the most iconic traditions of the golden wedding is the placement of gilded flowers in one of the couple's shoes. These gilded flowers symbolize domestic peace and the enduring love that continues to burn between the couple. The tradition involves the couple putting on their shoes and dancing a little dance, possibly their bridal waltz.
