Most of the items in this list are metals or flowers. Some of them are hard to find, so they had to be creative. Note that this is a French list and could be very different from other countries. We were very touched by their love story and how they had never missed or forgot one anniversary. Thinking about this, I think they are really romantic. I don't know any married friend celebrate their wedding anniversary so religiously like this French couple.

Well this really gave us idea on how to celebrate our anniversary.
