Diamond Wedding Anniversary - Did you know?

Diamond Wedding Anniversaries were originally celebrated with 75 years of marriage.  However, after Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee after 60 years, it quickly caught on with Wedding Anniversary celebrations.  So, now, the Diamond Wedding is usually celebrated after 60 years of marriage.  There are very few couples who will live to see 75 years of marriage. 

Telegram from the Queen for celebrating 60 years of marriage (or more)

The tradition of sending celebratory messages for Diamond anniversaries was started by King George V in 1917.  This tradition has continued with subsequent monarchs.  The queen now sends celebratory messages for 60th Wedding Anniversary (Diamond), 65th Wedding Anniversary, 70th Wedding Anniversary (Platinum) and every year thereafter!

To receive a telegram from the queen for 60 years of marriage, you need to send the marriage certificate to the address:

Anniversaries Office
Buckingham Palace
London
SW1A 1AA

The work ANNIVERSARY needs to be present in the bottom left corner of the envelope.
