50 years of marriage is a special event. In the people this anniversary is called the "golden wedding", in honor of the precious metal. The analogy is not accidental: gold is mined slowly, bit by bit, and family life is built gradually, from small things, over half a century.
Words of congratulations were addressed to each couple. On behalf of the mayor of the city of Kazan, the anniversaries were presented with congratulatory addresses and cash gifts.
