What Is a Milestone Anniversary?

Milestone anniversaries usually occur every five or 10 years, such as the 10th, 20th, or 30th anniversary. Every wedding anniversary year deserves celebration, but there’s something truly special about big milestone anniversaries. These special milestones are celebrated to commemorate the longevity and enduring love between a couple. The first wedding anniversary is also considered a milestone, marking the completion of the first year of marriage.
