8th Year Traditional Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas: Bronze

Do you know why we award metals of gold, silver, and bronze to athletes and cultural heroes? Those three metals represent the three different ages of man in Greek mythology. In the Golden Age men lived amongst gods, and in the Silver Age man had the gift of eternal youth. The Bronze Age has the most significant meaning of them all, because bronze represents the age of heroes. After spending eight years of wedded bliss together, you and your partner deserve a gift to showcase your marital heroics. You've endured hardships and important life changes together, and you need bronze traditional anniversary gifts to commemorate your romantic triumph.

The eighth is traditionally "bronze". We roll bronze wool into bronze balls and center them in our best silk roses. Give her the gift of bronze balls? Or a Teddy Bear holding a JustBronzeRose™!
