35

Today is Vince and my 35^th wedding anniversary! That's a big one.

traditional gifts for 35

The Traditional wedding anniversary list shows the 35^th year anniversary has a theme of Coral. The name Coral comes from a Greek work meaning ‘nymph of the sea’.  Legend has it that the blood from the head of Medusa, who was slain by Perseus, turned the twigs and branches of shrubs that grew along the seashore into coral and that sea-maidens took the petrified branches with them when they returned to their sea caves on the ocean floor.

contemporary or modern gifts and gemstones for 35

The Contemporary or Modern anniversary list states the gift theme for the 35-year anniversary is Jade. 

The Gemstone Anniversary List shows Emerald as the gemstone associated with the 35^th Wedding Anniversary. And Emerald is my (and Vince's) birthstone.

Luckily I like them all! But we are in Zanizibar this year celebrating our anniversary snorkeling and diving among its coral reefs, so I have a feeling ...

Happy 35^th anniversary to us!
