Modern 50th Anniversary Theme for Gifts: Gold
T
he perfect precious metal to represent five decades of marriage, gold represents three essential facets that are linked with this anniversary year:
First, its malleable and flexible nature indicates the compromises made between a long-term married pair in order to make it to this milestone year.
Second, it is resilient, impervious to heat and acid, and acts as a reflection of the eternal perfection of a long-term union.
Third, its rarity and luxurious nature is an ideal reflection of the precious nature of a long-term marriage.
As alchemists struggled to turn base metal to gold, we all try to turn negative qualities into virtues like compassion and love. A couple celebrating a 50th anniversary have perfected this ability. The value of gold also reflects the value of such a long-term marriage.
