About 5th Wedding Anniversaries

Can you believe the two of you are now celebrating your 5th wedding anniversary and have been married for half a decade? How quickly time goes by – at least for many couples.

Clearly, a 5th wedding anniversary (popularly known as the Wood Anniversary) is well worth marking with a grand celebration.

In ancient times, trees symbolised strength and wisdom. On a human level, by the fifth year of marriage a couple will be developing strong, deep roots like a venerable oak tree. While, no doubt, also gaining insight and understanding from any mistakes and stumbling moments during their first half decade together.

They will have learned one of the most important lessons of all, and one of the secrets to a successful marriage: forgiveness.

How to Celebrate a 5th Wedding Anniversary

Wood – the traditional 5th anniversary gift – is strong and long-lasting, and signifies the strength of your marriage bond.

If you enjoy antiques, this could be a perfect 5th wedding anniversary gift for your partner. However, rather than buying a piece of furniture, why not surprise them with a couple of days in the country, where you can go exploring and scouting for antique finds together?

Many country towns have antiques markets – ideal for finding the perfect piece, and happily haggling over the price. Not only will you have a fun-filled weekend, and return home with a great gift, but you will also always remember your anniversary when you look at the item you have discovered and chosen together.

Let’s go 50 years more and 50 again. The moon is too close so let’s shoot for the stars.” Quoted by: Ronan Keating (celebrating his 5th wedding anniversary, in August 2020, with wife Storm)

The 5th wedding anniversary flower is the daisy. It is a relatively small flower but it has large and significant meaning, depicting innocence, loyal love (“I’ll never tell”), purity, love that conquers all, beauty and simplicity.
