There is a very old tradition of celebrating wedding anniversaries by presenting special types of gift. For example, for 25th anniversary people give gifts made of silver. In the UK and USA most people celebrate only th milestone anniversaries: the 25th, 30th, 40th, 50th and 60th.
The 75th anniversary was traditionally the diamond but few married couples live long enough to celebrate it. Since Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee was held to mark her 60 years on the throne, the 60th wedding anniversary has become the diamond celebration.
