3rd wedding anniversary: leather
Leather is strong, but to last it needs care: a little oil, some protection from the rain, now and then a new stitch. By year three, marriage needs some upkeep too, and in return it gets softer and better fitted, like good shoes that feel more comfortable with every month you wear them.

How to spend the day
Go to a flea market or an antique shop and hunt together for an old leather suitcase, bag or leather-bound book. Then have dinner and make up a story about the people who owned it.
Tradition
Vegetable-tanned leather darkens and develops a patina from sunlight and touch. Every scratch and crease stays, so after years of use no two bags look alike.
