8th wedding anniversary: bronze
Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, harder than either metal on its own. It’s a good picture of eight years of marriage: two different people who are stronger together than apart. Bells and monuments are cast in bronze, things meant to last a very long time and to sound good while they do.

How to spend the day
Go to Kraków and climb the Sigismund Tower at Wawel Cathedral. Local superstition says touching the bell’s clapper with your left hand brings luck in love, so touch it together.
Tradition
The other Polish name for this anniversary, spiżowa, comes from spiż, an old word for bronze. Horace wrote of a monument more lasting than bronze, meaning something time can’t destroy.
