About 11th Wedding Anniversaries

After the excitement last year of celebrating your first decade of happy marriage, renewed congratulations for your 11th wedding anniversary. The steely resolve of your shared lives is highlighted during this year’s celebration, popularly known as the Steel Anniversary.

Steel is the traditional gift as it is one of the strongest, most durable metals in the world, and therefore a fitting symbol for the 11th wedding anniversary.  The cords binding your marriage together can no longer be broken easily – if at all. Strength and permanence define this milestone anniversary.

How to Celebrate an 11th Wedding Anniversary

One of the symbolic flowers for a 11th wedding anniversary is morning glory, which bursts into bloom in the morning sun and fades and dies in the afternoon.

It is a symbol of the single day each year when mythical lovers Chien Niu and Chih Neu could meet. According to the traditional Chinese tale, when the pair fell in love they angered the gods by neglecting their duties looking after water buffalo and sewing. They were punished by being separated on opposite sides of the Silver River, and only allowed to meet one day a year.

Happiness is NOW! It isn’t tomorrow. It isn’t yesterday. Happiness is like a morning glory: yesterday’s won’t bloom again; tomorrow’s hasn’t opened yet. Only today’s flower can be enjoyed today. Be happy this very moment, and you’ll learn how to be happy always.” ” Quoted by Goswami Kriyananda

For a more personal anniversary gift, think about incorporating steel with the anniversary’s symbolic colour and gemstone, turquoise. The other 11th wedding anniversary gemstone is citrine – and both stones make extremely attractive fashion jewellery for both partners.

The stones can be set in stainless steel and fashioned into a beautiful arm band or tie-pin – creating truly one-of-a-kind hand-crafted treasures.
