Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain wedding anniversaries, relay the tradition, milestone names and cultural variation from cultural sources with the commercial origins noted, describe the named milestones, and distinguish wedding anniversaries from birthdays, jubilees, other anniversaries and the wedding itself.
The annual recurrence of the date of a wedding, marked in many cultures as a celebration of a marriage, with milestone anniversaries associated with traditional and modern gift materials, as the registry aliases name, such as wooden for the fifth, silver for the twenty-fifth, golden for the fiftieth and diamond for the sixtieth; the lists of anniversary materials vary by country and era and are largely a commercial and folk tradition rather than a fixed standard. Anniversaries are personal occasions, and some royal or public anniversaries are noted nationally.
