19th Wedding Anniversary Wishes (Garnet)

View full-size photo

The 19th wedding anniversary is called the garnet anniversary. Both the gem and the fruit matter here: the deep red garnet stands for passion and devotion, while the pomegranate, which gave the garnet its name and is packed with hundreds of seeds, stands for abundance and a close family that holds together. The red colour of this date is a reminder that feelings can stay vivid after almost two decades of marriage. Below are garnet anniversary wishes: short messages, notes for a wife or husband, wishes from friends and parents, poems and gift ideas.

19th anniversary poems

Nineteen years, a garnet glow,
A fire in the heart that never dies.
May love keep growing as you go,
As rich as seeds a pomegranate hides!

Red as garnet, bright as flame,
May your love forever burn,
And may each year be just the same —
With joy and warmth at every turn!

19th anniversary gift ideas

The symbolic gift for a garnet anniversary is garnet jewellery: a ring, earrings, a pendant or cufflinks. You can also play on the fruit with a basket of pomegranates, pomegranate wine or a pretty plate with a pomegranate pattern. And the flowers should of course be red: 19 red roses, one for every year, make the most striking gesture.
