How to Celebrate a 49th Wedding Anniversary

Depending on individual taste this could range from a 49-day luxury cruise to a five-star hotel pampering.

If your tastes are simpler, you might consider a two-person hammock for your patio as a luxury item, where you can enjoy some quiet time together watching the sun go down.

A luxurious treat could also be a vintage bottle of wine or some excellent port, enjoyed with friends around the dining table and accompanied by a delicious Stilton. Or, if you have a sweet tooth, handmade Belgian chocolates savoured while watching a classic romantic tear-jerker on the telly.

Once a year, go some place you’ve never been before.” Quoted by: Dalai Lama

For a special celebration, book a table for two at a Michelin-star restaurant, and enjoy an exquisite tasting menu you would never dream of preparing for yourself at home – once tasted, never to be forgotten.
