A FIRST DATE can be both exciting and frightening, but there has to be a first time for everything! In the episode of the television series 'Frasier' titled "First Date", Niles got himself into a tangle trying to get up the nerve to ask Daphne out on a date. That was near the end of Season 5.

Answer: first kiss

The FIRST KISS can be almost as large a stumbling block as the first date for some.

"Kissing, as an expression of affection or love, is unknown among many races, and in the history of mankind seems to be a late substitute for the more primitive rubbing of noses, sniffing, and licking." (Buck, Carl Darling, "A Dictionary of Selected Synonyms in the Principal Indo-European Languages", University of Chicago, 1949, reprinted 1988, p.1113)

The giving or exchanging of RINGS is often a part of a wedding ceremony, especially in Europe and the Americas, but the origins of this custom are unclear.

Since the middle of the 20th century they have usually contained one or more diamonds.

Answer: anniversary

A wedding ceremony is commemorated annually on the ANNIVERSARY of the date on which it occurred. There are customary gifts associated with the event, depending on how long it has been since the ceremony, and on which list you want to look at - traditional, modern, flowers, stones, alternate.

The first anniversary gift, for example, could be paper, plastic, pansy, gold jewelry or clocks. Fiftieth anniversary gifts are gold or violets. I am still deciding how to be creative with diamonds for my parents' 60th anniversary later this year.
