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.

11th Wedding Anniversary Gifts for Him, Her… and the Couple

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.

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
