10 years of life in marriage is popularly called a tin or a pink wedding. Like all other wedding names, it has its own symbolic meaning.
Tin is a malleable and ductile metal, which in this case symbolizes the flexibility that spouses have already learned to exercise in relation to each other.
If the husband and wife have lived for 10 years, then they know how to find compromises, to give in and sacrifice something in the disputes, taking care of the interests of the second half.
