While around the world the duration of marriages is dwindling and the rate of divorce is rising, the popularity of weddings has never faded. Weddings are usually wonderful and dreamy events, but the real challenge starts when the new couple wakes up the morning after. Waking up the morning after the wedding, the happy couple is likely to realize that apart from the two of them waking up together and in love, nothing much has changed in the world, and it is time to start negotiating the normal processes of life together. In doing this it is important not to slip into the habit of taking your partner for granted, and that is precisely the function of anniversaries. An anniversary is a time for you to cherish your partner, and remind him or her, and yourself of exactly what the two of you share and how appreciative you are of it.

Wedding Anniversaries
By: Poushali Ganguly
Wedding anniversaries are a time to celebrate, it can be a the first or the fiftieth but are undoubtedly special. Read this article to know the history, some quotations and gift ideas.
Enlarge ImageAnniversaries are really social since they remind us the one year long journey and every high and low that each of us went through and how we coped with them as a partner. Weddings themselves are special times and special decisions and when you have completed one year with that person it is like an achievement, a special moment and time of endless joys. Most of us just like to sit quietly and think about the times when you have had fights which were like the emergence of two individuals from the pink world to the world of reality and bearing each other for twenty four hours a day and seven days a week and if you into the history of wedding anniversaries you would find that anniversaries were celebrated to break the monotony of everyday and to rekindle the love. Don’t you feel that as years pass y it is no longer only "love"; it is something more than that, probably it is the feeling of oneness and extreme comfort?
The first year is the time when the real feelings are tested since you live with your partner all the time and share everything with him or her and come to know him or her inside out and this exploration and knowledge keeps on increasing with every passing anniversary. Trust me knowing the positives and negatives of a person is a real journey but I am sure all of you who have had a reasonably good marriage would agree with me that the mere fact that there is one person in the world who knows you completely and yet is ready to live with all your mood swings and temper tantrums, gives you a kind of satisfaction and relief and this realization definitely deserves some kind of acknowledgment. Make your spouse feel special by giving him or her at least a card and use the following quotes. Which ooze with the happiness and contentment that is closely associated with the wedding anniversary.
Wedding Anniversary Quotes
"A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year."- Paul Sweeney
"The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds - they mature slowly." -Peter De Vries
"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person." -Mignon McLaughlin
"An anniversary is a time to celebrate the joys of today, the memories of yesterday, and the hopes of tomorrow."-Author Unknown
"For years [my wedding ring] has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it's time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward."-Erma Bombeck
"When you make a sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship."-Joseph Campbell
"Marriage is our last, best chance to grow up."-Joseph Barth
"The sum which two married people owe to one another defies calculation. It is an infinite debt, which can only be discharged through all eternity." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century."-Mark Twain
"There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends." –Homer
Wedding Anniversary gifts
Whether you celebrate or you don’t your spouse certainly deserves a gift so here are some guidelines when you are choosing the gift:
For your first anniversary get a card or a framed personalized message since the material of the gift should be paper but people also gift clocks. So you can also do the same.
For your second anniversary you can gift her a beautiful dress which would remind you of the girl you dated two years back since traditionally the material of the gift should be cotton or you can also gift her an expensive Chinese vase or a lamp shade. Ladies, you can gift him a shirt and a tie or a personalized coffee mug with a picture of both of you on it. That would remind him of you the whole day.
For your third anniversary you can gift your spouse shoes or office bags, in fact anything made of leather, or anything made of glass. So that way you gift yourselves wine glasses.
For your twenty fifth anniversary you can get silver jewelry for your spouse, it can be a ring or a bracelet with a personalized message or even a chain.
For your fiftieth anniversary you can gift gold which would mark and the strong bond that you have had for the previous fifty years.
If you cannot celebrate your anniversary with gifts never mind, just acknowledge the fact, go out for a long walk together, nothing can match the pleasure of getting each other’s company and spending some quality time.

Don't let apathy slip into your relationship, take anniversaries very seriously, and be honest with yourself and your feelings towards your partner. Problems that aren't shared fester and turn into chasms in marriages. As impossibly uncomfortable as at times it may seem, it is better to share all of your opinions and problems with your partner, be they about a third party or your partner him or herself. Enjoy and always remember your wedding day, and approach your anniversaries with the same excitement and care that you did for the day of your marriage.
