Wedding Anniversaries
I have been sorting through some paperwork this evening and have come across a chart which very usefully lists wedding anniversary milestones and what used to be the relevant material out of which the present should be made out of. Most of us know 25 years silver, and 50 years golden but did you know the names for the others. Here they are
1st Anniversary - Paper
2nd Anniversary - Cotton
3rd Anniversary - Leather
4th Anniversary Linen/Silk
5th Anniversary - Wood
6th Anniversary - Iron
7th Anniversary - Wool (copper)
8th Anniversary - bronze
9th Anniversary - Pottery/china
10th Anniversary Tin/Aluminium
15th Anniversary - Crystal
20th Anniversary - China
25th Anniversary - Silver
30th Anniversary - Pearl
35th Anniversary - Coral (Jade)
40th Anniversary - Ruby
45th Anniversary - Sapphire
50th Anniversary - Gold
55th Anniversary - Emerald
60th Anniversary - Diamond
Hope it helps
This is VERY eerie Tricia, guess which list I 're-discovered' on Friday? Yes, you're right the anniversary list!

Sympatico I think is the word you are looking for. The rest I think is down to serendipity and great minds think alike.
