A diamond and gold wedding is the anniversary of spouses who have lived together for sixty years. Agree, celebrating such an anniversary is an extremely rare occurrence, since not many people manage to live to such an advanced age (the celebrants of the day are already approximately 80-90 years old by this time), and even in such a long marriage.

Silver and gold weddings are more traditional and common. And diamond-gold, copper, porcelain, etc. weddings began to be celebrated relatively recently, somewhere from the end of the 19th century, among wealthy townspeople. Most likely, such family anniversaries were an attempt to create new traditions that would strengthen the family, an attempt to decorate and diversify family life. This is indirectly evidenced by the fact that these anniversaries took root and quickly spread among all segments of the population, the names stuck and were picked up by the mass press.

The sixtieth anniversary is celebrated in the interval between the golden wedding 50 years of marriage and the diamond 75 years of marriage, so the features of both anniversaries can be discerned in the celebration. Sometimes this anniversary is also called the first diamond wedding.

In order for the form of the holiday to correspond to its essence, you need to know the properties of those materials indicated by the name of the holiday, i.e. gold and diamonds.

Gold is a metal that occupies a very high place in the rating scale of rare and noble metals; it is malleable, chemically inert, and does not change in air even when heated. In alloys, it retains all the basic properties, but at the same time becomes harder and more durable. Therefore, people whose relationships sparkle with gold truly have a golden character, since they managed to live in peace and harmony for so many years. In general, the word “gold” in the language of human communication is synonymous with everything valuable, kind and noble. The highest praise for a person is to say that he is “simply gold.”

Despite the fact that life, through a combination of circumstances and the pressure of difficulties, crushed and melted the heroes of the day, they did not break and did not change their basic qualities - the ability to love and be patient.

With each passing year, their character only became stronger and acquired the shine of a noble metal.

In ancient times, alchemists searched for " philosopher's Stone" stone of wisdom, which in a practical sense led them to search for and obtain gold, and then on the path to discovering the origin of life.

Polished and treated gold shines like the sun. And the sun played in people's lives, in mythology, religions and folk rituals a very important role - it gave life, was the luminary of life and vital force. According to astrological medicine, the Sun rules the heart and all major human organs, and modern medicine discovered the presence of gold in blood and cells.

Alchemists believed that the earthly transformation of metals (which are all on the path of transformation into gold) is only a symbol of the transformation of man into a more perfect being. Indeed, compare young spouses: a volcano of passions, haste to live, immaturity of judgments and an old married couple: wisdom, harmony and calmness, a clear example of improving spiritual qualities.

The gradual nature of this transformation is also reflected in the names of wedding anniversaries: chintz wedding any scandal can tear the thin chintz of a relationship, copper wedding the relationship has become stronger, but copper is too soft a metal, easily oxidizes in air, and therefore requires careful handling and constant cleaning, silver a beautiful noble metal, but also requires considerable effort to maintain its shine, etc.

Diamond is a mineral, one of the crystalline varieties of carbon. It’s hard to say what captivates most about this stone: the special bright shine, colorful game rays reflected by it or extraordinary hardness. Nothing created by nature or man can compare in hardness to diamond.

This amazing creation of nature can cut and process any solid substance: glass, stone, metal, but the diamond itself can only be processed with another diamond. The name “diamond” itself is a corruption of the Greek word “adamas”, which means “invincible”. The relationship between the spouses, who have lived together for sixty years, has truly acquired a diamond strength. No one and nothing can destroy this union.

Typically, the edges of minerals have straight edges, but in diamond they are rounded, consisting of curved or streaked edges that intersect beautifully in arcs in certain directions. There are many tubercles, pits, mounds, curvatures, and complex mesh patterns on the edges. That is, we can say that the long family life of the heroes of the day was not distinguished by directness and ease. Various obstacles, troubles, failures, disagreements, of course, left their mark. And at the same time, love, joy, achievements polished the edges, made them play and shimmer.

The best quality diamonds are colorless and are said to be " pure water"But in most cases, diamonds come with the so-called “overcolor,” i.e., with a faint shade of a different color: straw, reddish, black, greenish, blue. They are very rare, and therefore diamonds that are transparent, but colored completely in any color, for example pink, yellow, black.

“Through thorns to the stars,” the ancients said. Love gave the relationship of the spouses a red tint, tenderness pink, trouble black, separation yellow, melancholy green, failure blue. The thorny family path mixed all the colors, sharpened the stone into a diamond of family happiness and, in the end, sparkled with all the colors of the rainbow, turning into the most beautiful gem diamond. And this diamond is like a guiding star for all young family members. And not only for them.

The Diamond-Golden Jubilee is a shining example to follow for everyone who has not yet reached the age of the hero of the day.

According to ancient esoteric views, diamonds were formed from five primordial elements: sky, air, water, earth, energy, and therefore have magical and medicinal properties. Diamonds without any defects drive away enemies, protect against lightning and poison, complications during pregnancy, and bring all kinds of benefits to their owner. Likewise, spouses who have lived together for six decades, thanks to their wisdom, life and professional experience, become excellent advisers in difficult life situations, good healers of the soul, unsurpassed teachers for grandchildren, the spiritual force that unites all generations of the family.

When celebrating a diamond and gold wedding, organizers should try to combine intimacy and solemnity.

Usually, professional toastmasters and musicians are invited to hold such celebrations, but in this case it is more appropriate to hold the holiday only with close relatives.

The fact is that the anniversaries are elderly people, and so are their friends, so it will be difficult for them to take an active part in preparing and holding the holiday. People invited from outside (toastmasters, actors, musicians) will somewhat confuse the elderly, who feel much calmer and more relaxed when surrounded by loved ones.

If among the guests there are friends of the spouses - their peers, then they will also need to be given increased attention. It is advisable that there is a doctor among the relatives, so that if necessary, he can provide assistance to the elderly, or at least there is a first aid kit nearby with the medications that celebrants most often resort to.

It is advisable to invite as many relatives as possible, including children, to celebrate the anniversary. This will add solemnity to the family anniversary, and the children, with their spontaneity and cheerfulness, will enliven it, delight and touch the elderly.

The form of the holiday is something between a solemn celebration of anniversaries and a fun concert for them. The celebrants themselves do not take part in organizing the holiday, everything is done by younger relatives, in particular children and grandchildren, but if they have such a desire, then do not interfere with them, but simply be nearby so that you can quickly come to the rescue if necessary.

An anniversary can also be in the form of a theatrical performance. Option one. A fireplace is lit in the house, or even better, an improvised fireplace is built in the yard, around which all the relatives sit. In the most honorable and comfortable place sit the anniversaries - the guardians of the family, ancestral fire. The family hearth symbolizes eternal love and work, only thanks to which the fire can be constantly maintained. By the way, this is also an ancient pagan form of unity by the fire. The sun was considered the source of life on earth, and the hearth was considered the source of family life.

The holiday itself is held as a big conversation about the true values ​​of the family.

The anniversaries accept congratulations and talk about their lives and loves, give advice to the young on how to maintain peace, harmony in relationships and material wealth in the family, after which they move on to a feast and entertainment.

Option two. Jubilees are seated on makeshift thrones. Crowns made of cardboard and gold foil or soft gilded metal, the teeth of which are lined or covered with beads and rhinestones imitating diamonds, are placed on the heads of the “king” and “queen”. The royal couple are the founders of the family dynasty, their descendants honor them, thank them for their wise reign and entertain them.

The “king” and “queen” have the right to establish laws, issue decrees, punish and reward their subjects. For example, a comic punishment for a son for being inattentive to his wife: eating a whole lemon in front of everyone in order to understand the taste of her sadness.

The room in which the holiday is held is decorated with many fresh flowers, colorful balloons, serpentine and confetti. In winter, you can even put up a Christmas tree in the hall, around which dances will then take place. Old people will be delighted by exhibitions of old family photographs or drawings and crafts of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

The table is being set beautiful tablecloth, best yellow-white color.
Fresh flowers and a birthday cake are a must. For the celebrants, it is necessary to prepare their favorite dishes or dishes that were popular during their youth. Do not fetter the elderly with the ostentatious, blinding luxury of table setting, do not depress them by turning the holiday into a banal drinking party, do not behave cheekily, take into account the tastes and wishes of the heroes of the day. Respect maturity!

The biggest gift for older people will be the very holding of their diamond and gold wedding: since relatives remember the day of their anniversary, it means they are loved and respected. They will be very pleased. If your parents or grandparents live in another area, then bring them to your place, and if they don’t want or can’t, then have a party with them.

If the anniversaries did not exchange rings for the fiftieth anniversary of marriage, then the children can present them with new gold rings.

Sixty years ago, today's anniversaries exchanged gold rings for the first time. The groom put his ring on the bride's finger as a sign of love and willingness to sacrifice everything for his wife and help her all her life, the bride put the ring on the groom's hand as a sign of her love and devotion, as a sign of her readiness to accept the groom's help all her life and desire to walk with him hand in hand hand in hand through all difficulties. The young people kept their oath, for sixty years they shared equally joys and sorrows, they endured everything. But their rings turned out to be less resistant, they couldn’t stand it and they wore out. That’s why the closest people give the celebrants new gold rings. And even better, giving gold rings with diamonds will be in full compliance with the diamond-golden anniversary.

Gold rings can also be used for medicinal and diagnostic purposes. Elderly people are jealous of their health, so this will come in handy. A gold ring tied to a string is used to measure pressure by swiping up and down from the hand. A ruler laid from the bend of the hand to the elbow shows in numbers the pressure where the ring “wakes”.

To determine problems in the liver, you need to draw a line with a gold ring along the cheek along the ear, if a black stripe appears - this is a sign of a diseased liver. The ring can also be used as a pendulum to determine foods that are useful or not very specific for your body: if the ring goes clockwise “yes”, counterclockwise “no”. Water is infused on gold rings; this water perfectly tones, strengthens the lungs, liver, heart muscle, and improves memory.

Try to “reward” the heroes of the day with gold or gilded anniversary medals. For example, this option: silhouettes of a man and a woman holding hands, below is the year in which the anniversary is celebrated, and the inscription “For life.” Pictures and inscriptions can also be humorous, such as: “Veterans of the family front”, “Winners of the family race”, “Martyrs of God’s will”, “Victims of love”, “Conquerors of everyday mountains”, the pictures can show two pigeons, a boxer , rose cactus, heart, ring, captain, etc.

Luxurious gifts will be any jewelry made of gold and diamonds: brooches, earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants, cufflinks, tie and hair clips, chains, tiaras, watches, cutlery, figurines and various crafts.

Or ancient weapons: daggers, sabers, swords, pistols, the handles of which are trimmed with gold and diamonds. Of course, these are very expensive gifts. Their equivalent can be gold-plated products, as well as products decorated with rhinestones. Do not spare money, because the heroes of the day gave you immeasurably more - your life, their love and care, involvement in a large and glorious family.

Be sure to give the “groom” and “bride” many, many fresh flowers. If the heroes of the day prefer certain flowers, then give them exactly. Spouses who grow flowers can be given flowers in pots or seeds and bulbs of rare flowers for planting in the countryside.

For active celebrants who still do everything in the house themselves, to make their work easier, you can give a vacuum cleaner, food processor, washing machine and other useful devices, mechanisms, tools. Many old people love to listen to the radio, so a portable radio would be a nice gift for them.

A very kind and symbolic gift would be to dress the celebrants from head to toe. That is, having agreed among themselves, relatives buy them all new clothes: from underwear to winter clothes, from shoes to hats.

During the anniversary celebration, you can pass around a new notebook among the guests, in which everyone, both adults and children, will write their wishes or congratulations to the heroes of the day, perhaps in verse, or draw something beautiful or humorous. At the end of the holiday, the notebook is tied with a gift ribbon and presented to the heroes of the occasion. The holiday itself can be filmed on videotape, and then presented to the celebrants.

For greater solemnity, present the spouses with bread and salt on a long embroidered towel. Towel sacred wedding item, in the old days it was used to seal the union of two loving people for life. Loaf symbol of prosperity, symbol of earth. Salt is a symbol of the sun.

Once upon a time there was a custom of breaking a loaf of bread for newlyweds, so that in their subsequent life together they would divide everything in half. And the proverb “To know a person, you have to eat a ton of salt with him” is still popular today. In addition, to this day presenting bread and salt to someone is considered an expression of great respect.

The most fun gift will be a concert dedicated to the anniversaries.

Songs and dances (some of them must be from the youth of the celebrants or simply favorite songs and dances of the celebrants), humorous skits, performances by a family orchestra, poems, ditties, home mini-performances, fairy tales, jokes, round dances. Try not to focus too much on the age of the celebrants, let them just have fun and be happy looking at you.

People of all ages congratulate: from a small great-grandson to an old fellow soldier.

The main thing is to create a festive, relaxed atmosphere. The “groom” can confess his love to the “bride,” the “bride” to the “groom,” and the guests to both heroes of the day.

What can you wish for elderly spouses? Wish you health, peace, happiness, long life, sunny days, joy, patience, more great-grandchildren, happiness for children and grandchildren, celebrate your anniversary more than once, prosperity, peace of mind, etc.

Dear (names of spouses)! You are God's chosen ones, since the Lord does not grant everyone such a long and happy married life. Your path was not strewn with flowers, you shared all the difficulties with the country, but at the same time preserved your love and raised worthy people - your children and grandchildren. This means that you truly have a heart of gold, a golden mind and golden hands. I congratulate you on your “precious” anniversary and wish you that your future life will be as bright as today’s holiday!

The eagle bathed in air currents and golden rays of the sun; he felt light, joyful and free. But one day at dawn he saw a beautiful eagle and forgot about everything in the world. From that time on, he was attracted to the earth, because there, on a mountain slope, an eagle and eaglets were waiting for him in a large nest. And no matter how much the eagle circled in the high sky, it always returned to them.

Let's raise a glass to love, to love for life!

How I would like all the couples who got married in their youth to go through life hand in hand, take care of, feel sorry for and appreciate each other... 60 years is a long time for life’s trials - many couples separate, someone passes away and only the most persistent pass this serious exam! Unfortunately, such an event is not expected in my family, my father passed away early, but my mother lived to see this event and is very sad that she will not have a diamond wedding...

I agree with previous commentator Zoya. I would also like to live like this for 60 years with my loved one. There are really few families now who live to see such an anniversary. And it’s sad... The gramophone and records will really be a surprise at such a wonderful holiday. I remember my grandmother even has such a thing in her attic somewhere))

Unfortunately, now there are fewer and fewer couples living for such periods. People have forgotten how to value each other and the sanctity of family ties. And men also have short lives due to the stress of our lives. In addition, we have a fashion for late marriage; if a family is created at 30, then the couple will only be able to celebrate at 90.

Sixty years of marriage has always been rare. Few people live together until this anniversary, given various life factors - this is natural. Of course, this unique event is simply amazing in its longevity.

Diamond wedding.
You've been together for 60 years.
Today we will shout again: “Bitter!”
“Love,” we tell you, “is advice!”
They proved by their example
You say there are no obstacles to feelings.
I wish with admiration
Long and happy years to you!

I wish you health
Only understanding.
Live in harmony with yourself,
Tender attention.

A wonderful holiday, a significant date in honor of the 60 years we have lived together. Congratulations on your diamond wedding. I wish you to remain for each other the most precious and beloved diamond for many years to come, I wish you health and prosperity, great luck, family understanding, care and respect for loved ones, prosperity and spiritual joy.

Diamond wedding, six decades.
Congratulations today. May your century be
Long, joyful, pleasant and rich to everyone,
Whatever a person needs. Let it be no problem
Then you will live together until the end of your days.
Let life be kinder and fate more tender.

Diamond wedding - 60 years!
Only a few people note this.
Diamond strength love in your hearts
Even erases the boundaries of time.

We wish you to live like this again
Side by side together for twenty or thirty years.
Leave warmth in the memory of your love
Protective.

Let it be preserved
All that has been dear to you for so many years.
Everything that was created by labor with the soul,
Let it stick.

Love and live for many years,
Happy days are coming
Just let it last.

Glorious anniversary of our life together,
And it’s also called very beautifully -
Diamond wedding
In sixty years it’s counting!

This is a very rare and beautiful stone
And not everyone can afford it.
Only selected before this date
We can survive together!

There was nothing in life,
And happiness and adversity,
And there was no noise in your house
What kind of weather?

But everything was accomplished with perseverance,
And counted as experience
Reliable support for each other
You've been around for a long time.

Diamond wedding -
Incredible day!
So let it disappear in the future
Even a shadow of sadness.

Happy diamond wedding!
You are heroes, no doubt!
We lived in marriage without difficulty
Sixty happy years.

Who knows how to have fun
He cannot live any other way,
Will never get angry
And in misfortune he will not cry.

Forget all your illnesses and troubles,
If your circle of friends is large.
We are all grandparents
Only the young at heart!

Weddings, like people, fade away over the years,
There in the loneliness of our land,
What will remain with us forever?
The native shore and its ships.

Time knows how to celebrate anniversaries,
Buoys flash across the vital river.
She will carry us away and will always be with her,
Your warm gentle hands.

There will be a hearth, the one we created,
Warm us with your stepfather's warmth,
To icicles and quarrels and sorrows.
They were melting somewhere outside the warm window.

There are many flowers and smiles today,
To match our diamond wedding,
Let the years of mistakes be forgotten,
Let's remember our victories.

Let's love, hold on more cheerfully,
Let's warm the earth with family warmth,
We need to hold each other tighter,
And there is nothing to be sad about, about the past.

The path is strewn with diamonds,
Your life is goodness and grace,
Love is alive in her, and that's the point,
Destined to meet each other.

God-bound destinies
Two dear and loving hearts,
Sixty years inseparable
Union of two gold rings.

Adversity and bad weather have passed,
May you never return
And so that there is happiness in life,
And may we always bake together!

All the guests together will not stop clapping,
Everyone is surprised at the strength of the family.
Even though the years that have passed cannot be darned,
And there’s no need, it’s all for love!

And six dozen is a huge time,
This is a big part of life.
Let it be with bottomless tenderness
Fate is for you to spin smiles!

Diamond wedding - how to celebrate your anniversary unforgettably

Sometimes happy and loving spouses I forget how many years they spent in legal marriage and what anniversary is coming to them. After 60 years of marriage, the couple traditionally celebrates their Diamond Jubilee, which symbolizes the incredible love of the spouses. This anniversary belongs to the category of very rare events, so congratulations on the diamond wedding should be remembered by the heroes of the occasion for a long time.

The mystery of the name

Diamond is the most durable and expensive stone in the world. Family relationships, which have come such a long way, can also be called the most expensive and significant achievement.

The heroes of the day fell and rose together, they went against all obstacles, holding hands, they shared the happiest moments with each other, and now rightly deserve the title of a model couple.

The anniversary of marriage represents the fact that the relationship between the spouses has been reliably tempered along their life path, acquiring diamond strength. The married couple was able to polish out all the rough edges, carrying out invaluable work every day of 60 happy years.

A diamond wedding is an indicator of the rarity of such pure and sincere relationships. A significant anniversary appeared at the dawn of the 19th century. The diamond wedding stands between other equally significant anniversaries - iron and gold.

Traditional features of the holiday:

• a diamond wedding requires a certain type of flowers - phlox;
• the symbol of the holiday is a diamond;
• A diamond wedding involves writing a special letter to your children and grandchildren, which is called a “mandate.” The letter is placed in the chest and a date is set for its opening;
• The dominant color for the anniversary of marriage is white.

How is it customary to celebrate a sparkling anniversary?

Congratulations on a diamond wedding should be magnificent and solemn. It is worth remembering the respectful age of the heroes of the day and taking on all the difficulties of preparing the holiday by organizing the wedding scenario.

A diamond wedding is a rare occasion for a gala evening at a large table. A magnificent celebration should be complemented by an equally magnificent number of guests.

The solemnity of the moment should be manifested in all details. It is recommended to use balloons, following the rule: how many years have you been together, so many balloons.

Table setting should be solemn, but not pompous. So that the celebrants of the day do not feel awkward in the pretentious surroundings. But the couple’s glasses should be highlighted with patterns, rhinestones and crystals. That's what the script says.

The festive menu should reflect the tastes of the honorary couple. Naturally, you should refuse to use exotic or too spicy dishes. The holiday scenario is created primarily for anniversaries and must meet their preferences.

Themed celebration

Since a diamond wedding belongs to the retro category, it can be completely stylized to fit this style:

1. pastel colors in the decoration of the hall;
2. The holiday script tells you to decorate the hall with vintage items;
3. use black and white photos of the anniversary;
4. exclusively Russian cuisine;
5. themed outfits.

Holiday atmosphere

However, entertainment for the celebration itself is also necessary. Our script invites you to take advantage of the hot-cold game. The game is a quiz where guests are asked various questions. If the guest does not guess the answer right away, then he can ask whether the correct answer is warm or cold and try to guess again.

You can organize a warm-cold theme, when guests will be asked questions regarding the number of years of marriage and the corresponding anniversary. Warm-cold can be complemented by characteristic patterns, where the number of years and the correct name of the anniversaries are scattered among themselves, and you need to restore the sequence.

The wedding script also suggests using the game of warm and cold, regarding funny and comical issues, in order to give the holiday an appropriate atmosphere. For a change, you can dilute the warm and cold with similar games and continue the fun.

Anniversary gifts

Many guests of the celebration are wondering: what to give for a diamond wedding? It may seem that the anniversary symbol greatly limits the possible gifts for the anniversary of marriage. However, it is not. Let's consider suitable ideas presents:

• diamond jewelry;
• collection of wines;
• tea or coffee in unusual packaging in the shape of a diamond;
• diamond tie pin;
• dishes with imitation precious stones;
• various household gifts in white colors;
• diplomas and medals with the honorary number 60;
• health gifts;
• gifts in the form of intellectual games such as hot and cold, so that the heroes of the day can entertain each other after the holiday.

What else can we do to make each other happy?
