Growing up in a big Italian family, anniversaries were always a reason to come together and celebrate love, commitment, and the beautiful journey of marriage.

I have fond, if slightly hazy, memories of my parents’ 25th wedding anniversary. It was held at a fancy Italian restaurant called Nello’s, and while I don’t remember every detail, I love looking back at the photos. My young aunts and uncles were all there, laughing, toasting, and celebrating my parents’ milestone.

Those pictures capture so much joy, love, and togetherness—it’s like a time capsule of what makes anniversaries so special.

Over the years, I’ve been to so many anniversary celebrations with my family—25th anniversaries, 50th anniversaries, and everything in between. Each one was unique, but they all had the same heartwarming essence: honoring the love story of two people and the life they’ve built together.

In my family, celebrating marriage was more than just a tradition; it was a way to show gratitude for the bonds that hold us all together.
