About 25th Year Wedding Anniversaries

Your 25th wedding anniversary is a momentous and joyous celebration. After a quarter-century together, your relationship is a shining example of love and commitment – so an especially effusive congratulations for this year’s milestone.

The 25th year of marriage is appropriately celebrated as the Silver Wedding Anniversary, symbolic of one of the most precious metals known to man and prized the world over for thousands of years.

Like silver, may your marriage continue to shine through many more days of splendour and radiance as you happily grow older together.

How to Celebrate Your 25th Wedding Anniversary

Planning a 25th wedding anniversary is an exciting task, full of fascinating options. A Silver Anniversary is an occasion that any couple should be hugely proud of, and it deserves to be celebrated in grand style.

Many couples choose to celebrate their 25 year anniversary with an intimate gathering of those they love. Some plan an exquisite luxury holiday, while others opt for quiet night at home together, with a celebratory bottle of Champagne and a candlelit dinner.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” Quoted by: Marcel Proust
