Final Thoughts
A night out on the town, a Happy Anniversary card, and some shared gifts are standard fare in the U.S. when a couple enjoys a wedding anniversary together.
Married couples have a chance to celebrate their love and shared life together every year. It also gives them an opportunity to relish all of the memories of their wedding day. An anniversary celebration can be anything from a candlelit dinner to a special once-in-a-lifetime trip.
