15th wedding anniversary: crystal

Crystal is clear and heavy in the hand, and in the sun it splits light into every color of the rainbow. After fifteen years you know each other inside out, morning grumpiness included. And yet, look from a new angle and the person you know best still shimmers with colors you’ve never noticed.

Happy crystal anniversary. We wish you honesty that never hurts and tenderness that never fades. May your laughter ring long and clear, like good crystal.

For fifteen years you’ve shown us that two people can stay together a long time and still like each other. Here’s to fifteen more, and then some.

After fifteen years I know almost everything about you, and you still manage to surprise me. Thank you for every year together, the hard ones too.

How to spend the day

Visit a glassworks, like the ones in Krosno or the Karkonosze Mountains, and watch a glassblower shape glowing glass. Buy two handmade glasses there for your evening tea.

Tradition

In communist-era Poland, crystal vases and bowls were a prized gift, at weddings too, and took pride of place in the living room cabinet. In many parents’ and grandparents’ homes, they still do.
