Where does celebrating wedding anniversaries come from?

It started back in Roman times when husbands gave their wives a silver wreath for 25 years of marriage and a gold wreath for 50 years. Over the years, this idea has led to the addition of more gifts and names for other years. 

Did you know that couples in the UK can receive a message from the Queen for a 60th, 65th and 70th wedding anniversary and every year after that?
