The nineteenth Wedding Anniversary is symbolised by aquamarine, named
for the blue sea it represents. Love and romance has been associated with
the sea from the days of mythology when Aphrodite, the goddess of love,
ruled.
Compared by the poet Yeats to the colour of the eyes of the unicorn,
there is a suggestion of greater possibilities in a marriage of nineteen
years.
Aquamarine stone itself is said to have those properties which allow
partners to learn greater understanding of each other by learning how to
deal with their differences. It is thought of as giving
warm-hearted energy, soothing to the nerves, banishing phobias whilst
ensuring calm and tranquility.
Gifts for the nineteenth wedding anniversary can include anything to
do with the sea.
