Why a diamond?

The diamond anniversary tradition

Sixty years of marriage is marked by the diamond, a symbol of strength, clarity and lasting brilliance. It reflects a partnership that has been polished by time and still shines.

A diamond song captures not only the sparkle of the milestone but also the warmth of everyday moments that have made the relationship unbreakable.

Strength
Like a diamond, a sixty-year marriage has endured pressure and emerged stronger.
Clarity
Decades together bring a clear understanding of each other's hearts.
Enduring
The stone never fades; neither does a love that has lasted six decades.

A worked example

Meet Joan & Arthur, our example couple

They aren't real, but many grandparents share these moments. Your own story will shape a unique song.

Joan & Arthur

Diamond anniversary, garden lovers, seaside caravans, kitchen humour.

  • Met at a dance in 1965
  • She turned him down twice to test his seriousness
  • Allotment veg and seaside caravans
  • Grandad sings the wrong words on purpose to make her laugh

What their family told us

Grandma and Grandad's diamond anniversary: sixty years married. They met at a dance in 1965; she turned him down twice 'to check he was serious'. He was. Sixty years of allotment veg, seaside caravans and Grandad singing the wrong words on purpose to make her laugh. The whole family is gathering. The song should sound like their kitchen: warm, full, slightly out of tune.

The sort of thing a grandchild might send us

Verse 1

Nineteen sixty five, a dance hall, a tune,He asked her once, she said not yet,he asked again too soon.Joan said no, just to see him try,third time round, she caught his eye.Sixty years since that first no,turned into a lifetime, steady and slow.

Chorus

Diamond years, still counting on,kitchen table, kettle on,Joan and Arthur, side by side,sixty years and never tired.Slightly out of tune, but singing anyway,that's the sound of love that's here to stay.

Verse 2

Rows of runner beans, allotment mud on his boots,Joan calling dinner's ready, mind your roots.Caravan by the sea, rain upon the roof,Arthur singing all the wrong words, that was the proof.He'd swap the lines just to hear her laugh,Joan shaking her head, doing the washing up half.

Chorus

Diamond years, still counting on,kitchen table, kettle on,Joan and Arthur, side by side,sixty years and never tired.Slightly out of tune, but singing anyway,that's the sound of love that's here to stay.

Every song is written from scratch for one couple only. Joan & Arthur's came from a dance, a garden and a kitchen tune. Yours will come from whatever you tell us.

What to include in a 60th wedding anniversary song

Your memories are the ingredients. Here are the kinds of details that make a diamond song sparkle.

  1. The first meeting

    The dance, the year, the moment she asked 'are you sure?'. A perfect opening verse.

  2. Shared hobbies

    Allotment rows, seaside caravans, the recipes they argue over. They give colour to the verses.

  3. The humour

    Grandad singing the wrong words on purpose, the inside jokes that make her laugh. Perfect for a playful bridge.

  4. The family gathering

    The whole clan together, the kitchen walls full of love. A line that brings the chorus home.
