Steel Wedding Traditions
According to tradition, an apartment (house) should be renovated for a steel wedding in order to cross this important 11-year milestone already in a renewed housing, where you will spend many more years together. If you do not plan to repair, then you can just make a small change or buy new furniture and home decoration.
An interesting tradition for a steel wedding is the following: husband and wife exchange valuable things as a sign of immense trust in each other.
There was also such a ceremony of initiation of spouses. Early in the morning, the couple went out to the lake or river and plunged into the water (if it was warm outside). They should have been in water for at least 10 minutes, as a sign that they are already entering the second decade of their life together. After that, the couple put on clean white clothes. If the celebration of the anniversary falls on winter or autumn, then they simply carried out the ritual bathing.
There was another beautiful ritual for a steel wedding. Over the door of their house, the couple hung a steel horseshoe. Early in the morning they got up, carried the horseshoe into the street and held it together in the sun, asking the sun to give them light and warmth. After that, the couple nailed the horseshoe to the wall of their house, as a symbol and preserved their love and happiness.
