26th wedding anniversary traditions and gifts are not as big of a deal as the 25th or 30th year. However, there are some countries that honor this milestone in a very specific way.<\/p>\n

We are going to explore whether some of the countries listed below celebrate the 26th year of marriage, and how they do so.<\/p>\n

About 26th Wedding Anniversaries<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As we said in the introduction, the 26th anniversary is not as big as, say, the 25th anniversary that precedes it.<\/p>\n

People make a huge deal about the 25th year of marriage because it is the Silver Wedding anniversary. This means that the 26th year of marriage is often forgotten about and overshadowed. <\/p>\n

However, we think that any anniversary is a special one and that 26 years should also be celebrated. Whilst it has not been widely celebrated traditionally and does not have the same traditional associations as many other anniversaries, in more recent years it has begun to be associated with the giving of art and pictures.<\/p>\n

As well as this, other countries around the world do have flower and gemstone associations for the year, and so these could also be given as gifts. The flower most associated with the 26th year of marriage is the rose, and the gemstone is jade. <\/p>\n

Going by the theory of numerical symbolism,<\/a> 26, is an amalgamation of the numbers 2 and 6 and is a special number. 2 represents duality and yin and yang.<\/p>\n

It is the bringing together of two separate things, such as in a marriage. 6 is known as a \u2018perfect\u2019 number, and religiously, the 6th day was the day when God finished creating the world. The 26th anniversary, then, may indeed hold special significance for many people. <\/p>\n

5 Unique Ways to Celebrate Your 26th Wedding Anniversary<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. You and your spouse could go to a painting class together.<\/strong> After all, 26 years is celebrated with artwork and pictures! What better way to pay homage than to create your own original pieces together? You could go to a still life class, spice it up with a life drawing class, or just go off to your favorite natural beauty spot and paint together instead. <\/li>\n
  2. Mark the occasion by getting professional portraits done<\/strong>, either on your own or with your whole family. You could even try and recreate some of those wedding snaps!<\/strong> Dig out the wedding albums and see what fun you can have recreating them today! <\/li>\n
  3. Sure, the rose may only be a traditional anniversary gift in some countries, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t adopt their practice for yourself! Perhaps you could organize a floristry class<\/strong> for you and your spouse, and request that you work with roses in particular. <\/li>\n
  4. You and your spouse could take a trip together and take photos along the way to document the celebration. It does not need to be anywhere fancy, and could even be a short road trip or hike in your local area. Celebrate the fact that 26 years is known as the \u2018picture anniversary\u2019 and take some snaps of your trip. You could even make a <\/strong>little scrapbook<\/strong> dedicated to it! <\/li>\n
  5. Take a trip to a gallery or art museum.<\/strong> Artwork and pictures are the modern association of 26 years of marriage, and there is nothing more relaxing than a culture trip, taking in some of the world\u2019s most beautiful pieces of artwork. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
