What wedding

Silver spouses are characterized by warm, deep, trusting relationships based not only on passion, but also on mutual respect, trust, sincerity, devotion, love, the desire to support each other and boundless devotion.
holiday traditions
The celebration of the silver wedding has certain customs. So, on the morning of the 25th anniversary of marriage, barely getting out of bed, the husband and wife must kiss and wish each other a good day.

- the first ablution removes fatigue,
- the second relieves sadness,
- the third fills the soul with joy.
If water remains, put it on the windowsill until it evaporates completely. Together with droplets of water, everything bad leaves the relationship of the spouses. And the faster the liquid disappears, the more happy the future awaits the couple.
