60th wedding anniversary: diamond
A diamond is plain carbon, the same element as the graphite in a pencil. It only becomes a hard, clear stone under enormous pressure and heat, deep underground. A sixty-year marriage goes through a similar change: nearly twenty-two thousand days together turn into something nothing can scratch.

How to spend the day
Book a table at the oldest café in town and order what you used to have on your first dates, like a cream cake and Turkish coffee. Ask someone in the family to drive you there and pick you up when you’re ready.
Tradition
In the UK, couples marking their diamond anniversary can request a congratulatory card from the King. In Poland, these anniversaries are usually celebrated with family, and sometimes the local mayor stops by with good wishes.
