In times of ephemeral love, a lasting union is a reason to celebrate, and we call it a ruby wedding when a marriage turns 45 years old. Each year of a marriage we call it a wedding, which comes from the Latin “vote” and means promise. This tradition began in the Middle Ages in Germany, where silver weddings (25 years of marriage) and golden weddings (50 years of marriage) gave the anniversary couple a silver or gold crown as a gift.
The choice of the ruby to represent 45 years of marriage, in addition to its characteristic red color, which symbolizes love and passion, also refers to the resistance of the stone, which is considered almost unbreakable, as well as a marriage that lasts all this time.
As time went by, practically all wedding anniversaries began to be celebrated. Couples in love celebrate everything from their first wedding anniversary to their wedding anniversary, celebrated after the 11th month of marriage. Speaking of which, get to know all weddings and months anniversaries in our special post.
To inspire your Ruby Wedding celebration, we present 11 jewelry options to gift your love. Follow along!
