Do you still remember how Mendelssohn's march sounded?How worried the bride was, how her mother cried?

If you suddenly forgot, urgently remember, because soon you will be congratulated on your wedding anniversary - 12 years. If someone thinks that the twelfth anniversary of family life is not an anniversary, he is very mistaken. It is not for nothing that this wedding was called nickel. Did you know that in ancient times, nickel was considered a precious metal, along with silver and gold?

What has changed in your life since the wedding day? First of all, your status has changed: you are no longer the groom and the bride, but the husband and wife, and most likely, you are already a dad and mom, so it would be unwise not to involve children in preparing for the family holiday.
