Wedding Anniversary Marriage of Six Years - Sweets/Iron 

The sweet foods are often thought of as the comfort foods, often non-essentials but delightful in consumption.

Sweets come in all sorts of forms. The ever popular chocolates which can be soft be plain, or with soft and hard centres, then there is butterscotch, toffee, fudge.

The many consistencies of sweets is as reminder to the couple of the many aspects that their married life can consist of.

The tradition of celebrating a sixth wedding anniversary goes back to at least the seventeenth century when Samuel Pepes the writer remarked that he was going home 'to be merry, it being my sixth wedding night'.

The flower associated with the sixth wedding anniversary is the Calla lily. Amethyst and garnet are the gemstones associated with this anniversary.

Garnet is said to be therapeutic in times of trauma. Should be worn close to the skin to get its full effect.

Amethyst is considered a powerful aid to creative thinking, spiritual awareness and healing. Amethyst is said to soothe and clam the mind, raise the spirit and protect against negative vibrations. It is the birthstone for the zodiac sign of Aquarius.

Traditional gifts are such pleasurable, but transient gifts as chocolates or sweet gift baskets.
