Wedding Anniversary Marriage of Twenty Years - ChinaWallis Simpson, who married King Edward Vlll, celebrated her twentieth wedding anniversary by having her emerald engagement ring reset. The engagement ring was inscribed with the words "We are ours now 27 X 36". The cryptic message meant 27th October 1936, the date on which began Simpson's divorce proceedings and she retained this in her new set anniversary ring. On 11th December 1936 Edward abdicated and in marrying him, Wallis Simpson, already twice married, become the Duchess of Windsor. On this very important milestone, the anniversary gift could be the beginning of a collection of highly expensive china, to which pieces are added with each passing year. The traditional twentieth wedding anniversary gift has a theme of china, while the contemporary gift has the them of bone china and platinum. The flower associated with the twentieth wedding anniversary is the Day Lily, while the gem stone associated with this anniversary is emerald. This gemstone was once a favourite gift between lovers, as it was believed to lose its colour should either the giver or receiver become unfaithful. Some traditional gift ideas includes Wedgwood, Moorcroft, Waterford Crystal, Royal Doulton and other fine china. Ideas for
celebrating the event is to decorate with the theme of the country for
which the gifts stand - China. This includes a garden party
decorated with Chinese lanterns with tables laden with Chinese food.
