WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

5 years of marriage: the wood anniversary

Five years. The couple is no longer brand new, but not yet settled into a routine; it has taken root, like a tree that is just starting to give shade.

What does a wood anniversary mean?

Wood symbolises a couple that has put down roots: enough time has passed for habits to form and trust to settle in, without becoming rigid. Wood bends before it breaks, a fine image for five years of life together.

A poem for the occasion

Five years, and our roots have intertwined without our noticing.
We have bent, at times, but never broken.
What we planted together stands tall,
and keeps on growing.
Happy anniversary, my love.

Words to go with a bouquet

“Five years already, and still just as eager to grow by your side.”

A gift that lasts longer than a bouquet

To mark these five years, some couples choose a piece of jewellery that, like a tree, keeps gaining value over time.
