     Note: Certain anniversaries of an unbroken marriage have
           received fanciful, and more or less appropriate, names.
           Thus, the fifth anniversary is called the wooden
           wedding; the tenth, the tin wedding; the fifteenth, the
           crystal wedding; the twentieth, the china wedding; the
           twenty-fifth, the silver wedding; the fiftieth, the
           golden wedding; the sixtieth, the diamond wedding.
           These anniversaries are often celebrated by appropriate
           presents of wood, tin, china, silver, gold, etc., given
           by friends.
           [1913 Webster]

           wedding cards, wedding clothes, wedding day, wedding
           feast, wedding guest, wedding ring, etc.
