Subject: RE: songs for the queen's big day
Charley ~~ The traditional names of the anniversaries seem to be of German origin, based on gifts customarily given to couples on certain anniversaries to mark the longevity of the marriage. A bit of folklore that seems to have got conventionalised and fixed. Helpful wiki entries, if really interested, under "Anniversary" and "Wedding anniversary".
