The marriage union, tested for years, can be called strong and reliable. Having reached the point of several decades of living together, the relationship between the spouses becomes strong and inextricable, so they are compared with the hot iron, and the wedding is called iron.
Thinking about the question - how many years it is necessary to live hand in hand to celebrate the iron wedding, the answer is one - 65 years. It is during this period that the relationship between husband and wife is no longer broken, loving hearts are densely "grown" to each other. For such long years the spouses probably experienced many difficulties and troubles, but their relationship was only strengthened, they learned to support and care for each other, therefore the nature of their family has an iron endurance.
Because of the short life expectancy, only a few couples celebrate this landmark date. Therefore, if such a joy fell to your family, then organize a memorable celebration, dedicated to the anniversary of the wedding of your grandparents.
Take into account that the old age of the jubilee will not allow us to arrange a noisy party, but a solemn feast will be very welcome. Be sure to invite all the children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and if there are great-great-grandsons. For sure there will be families from the last generation who will meet only for the first time. Such warm spiritual meetings are necessary for older people and young people, because this is a perfect example for young men and women of an ideal family. Having looked at the elderly, but very happy of their ancestors, the youth will learn to appreciate love and respect, understand that life should not be wasted on fleeting feelings, but it is better to create and keep one lasting union.

The main thing in this celebration is the veneration and tribute to our ancestors - it is necessary to create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort for the respected bride and groom.

These whims of the "newlyweds" must be fulfilled first of all.
