The majority of couples miss out on this way of celebrating their love during the first year of marriage.
Some traditions are particularly followed by newlyweds, while others are little known. Result: most couples miss out on this proof of romantic love, which has very specific names. After spending months, even a year organizing a wedding reception, husbands and wives only dream of one thing: to take a breather, to come to their senses, to enjoy a honeymoon afterwards, to create an album photos… But few of them think of celebrating their love in a simple way. To do this, they generally wait for their wedding anniversaries, which they will have the opportunity to celebrate throughout their life as a couple. But there is indeed another way to celebrate these weddings, without waiting a whole year!
Do you know about mini wedding parties? Like wedding anniversaries, these are simply monthly weddings, which follow the date of your union. They also all have a particular name like the glitter wedding which corresponds to the first month of marriage. The second month is called “wedding of dew”, the third month corresponds to the wedding of feathers… Each time, the loved one is invited to offer a little attention or a gift related to the name of the celebration : roses or a bottle of dew for the dew wedding, a dress or lace underwear (for the lace wedding in the 8th month), cakes, a pastry or a gourmet restaurant for the gourmet wedding in the 9th month, etc. It’s up to everyone to find the ideal gift that will please…
And because it is already difficult to remember the names of wedding anniversaries and especially to remember the years to which they correspond, here is a short summary of these monthly mini-nuptials which mark the stages of this first year.
- 1st month of marriage: the glittering wedding
- 2nd month of marriage: the dew wedding
- 3rd month of marriage: the feather wedding
- 4th month of marriage: the petal wedding
- 5th month of marriage: the wedding of leaves
- 6th month of marriage: the tulle wedding
- 7th month of marriage: the organdy wedding
- 8th month of marriage: the lace wedding
- 9th month of marriage: the wedding of delicacies
- 10 months of marriage: the wedding of rhinestones
- 11th month of marriage: the opaline wedding
- 12 months of marriage: the cotton wedding (one year of marriage)
Celebrating each month is a nice excuse to take some time together, without waiting for a specific date. These mini-nuptials are an opportunity to take stock, create new memories and strengthen bonds, taking pleasure in celebrating love a little more often.
