The practice of giving peculiar gifts on various wedding anniversaries originated in Central Europe in medieval times. In what is now Germany, it was customary for friends to present a wife with a wreath of silver when she had lived with her husband twenty-five years. The silver symbolized the harmony that was assumed to be necessary to make so many years of matrimony possible. It is unlikely that the wreath was really silver, instead it would be made from plants with a white or silver finish.
Today it is customary for the couple to exchange real silver gifts. If they are having a party to celebrate their wedding guests can also present a silver gift.
