THE ANNIVERSARIES OF WEDDINGS

ÁLVARO SERRANO DUARTE - Barranquilla, Colombia

Until some years ago the newspapers accustomed to publish the names of the anniversaries of weddings in their sections of social notes. That practice has disappeared completely, and almost that also the publication of the anniversaries of weddings.

It is more, it is possible that they are until disappearing the news of marriages. Everything due to the fragility of the matrimonial relationships or to the apathy to suit a celebration that represents a renovation of the promise of love "for the rest of their lives.

 

But as the topic to try is not in fact to qualify the intríngulis of the new matrimonial concept neither the why of their little duration or of their transformation only in the search of somebody that provides him of a son, go next to mention the names or qualifying according to the number of years of a marriage, this way:

And like will be able to observe, according to like they go the years happening, the anniversary goes defining the state of the married relationship. It was to consider that the characteristics of relationship of the couple were assimilated to the character, value, texture, presentation and beauty of the elements that they appear in the column of the right.

 

Memories of my childhood arrive of a party of some neighbors that they celebrated the first anniversary of weddings (paper weddings) and the most vivid images in my mind are those of the immense quantity of confetti or paper cuttings that they left watered by the whole house the companies. It is comprehensible, then that should resist until the 75 years of marriage so that the companies to the party throw to the even diamonds instead of papers.
