Thinking back to your wedding day, was it a lavish affair? If so then it was important then to celebrate the marriage so why not devote some time on that day every year to celebrate your successes with your life partner and to reaffirm your commitment to each other.
If you felt your wedding day was not the massive bash you wanted then again why not make you wedding anniversary an event to remember!

In 1761, King George III of England created a fad that became a popular wedding ring tradition when he presented Queen Charlotte, to whom he was devoted, with a diamond keeper ring. This was a simple diamond band worn next to the diamond engagement ring, the keeper ring was meant to protect both the ring (physically) and the marriage (metaphorically of course!). And indeed, the combined symbolism of the diamond and the circle was beautiful; whilst the diamond symbolized indestructibility, the unending circle symbolized eternity. This custom has moved on and keeper rings are now more commonly called eternity rings.
