Polish towns honor couples celebrating golden and diamond wedding anniversaries
In Gliwice, the city hall hosted a ceremony on June 15 where the mayor, Katarzyna Kuczyńska‑Budka, congratulated couples marking 50‑year (Gold) and 60‑year (Diamond) wedding milestones. The couples received medals for long‑term marriage presented by the President of Poland, and several personal statements highlighted the importance of compromise and mutual support.
In the Gmina of Jadów on June 13, a similar event honored long‑standing marriages. The mayor presented commemorative plaques to Diamond‑anniversary couples, while the President‑issued medals for long‑term marital life were awarded to Gold‑anniversary couples. The ceremony underscored community values of love, patience, and respect.
Both events celebrated enduring marital bonds and reinforced local traditions of recognizing long‑term family commitment.
