About 43rd Wedding Anniversaries

As you celebrate your 43rd wedding anniversary, there is one special modern theme associated with this year: travel. You could revisit your favourite holiday destinations, or perhaps places you might be contemplating retiring to.

To add a little bit of fun to the decision-making, why not plan a trip by writing the names of 43 countries you would like to visit on pieces of paper, place all the names in a hat, draw one – and get your children to pay for the getaway!

Alternatively, book a 43-day luxury cruise or – for something a little more quirky – prepare a packed lunch and hop on a coach for 43 stops or a bus route covering 43 miles (or kilometres to keep it shorter). And, of course, make sure to include a couple of pub pit stops along the way.

How to Celebrate 43rd Wedding Anniversary

If you and your partner don’t fancy travel this year, you can still make future plans as you celebrate in front of a log fire with a bottle of Champagne (at least that provides a French travel link) and an exotic take-away meal (Thai, Japanese, Mexican… more travel connections).

As you reminisce leafing through your wedding album, you can reflect on the impressive fact that you have been married for 15,695 days or 376,680 hours or 22,600,800 minutes, which is over 1,356 million seconds.

Clearly, by now you know pretty much everything there is to know about each other, and have learnt that…

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, only with what you are expecting to give – which is everything.” Quoted by: Katharine Hepburn

Enjoy a celebration party at home or in a local restaurant, but make sure you drop serious hints well beforehand that the grandchildren might like to organise everything!

If you want to keep it uncomplicated, your partner will always be happy with thoughtful gift vouchers – ideally this year, travel-related books or gadgets.

Whatever you decide, make sure your 43rd wedding anniversary celebrations showcase your long-standing love and affection.
