The unnamed source added: "This year, they both gave each other gifts based on 'cotton.' Undoubtedly, it was a very creative and romantic gesture as all their gifts are to one another."
The outlet reports that the cotton anniversary refers to the woven threads that symbolize how people become interconnected as they learn more about each other through marriage. Another source told the outlet that the duo rang in the big occasion by spending a quiet day together with their son, Archie, who celebrated his first birthday earlier in the month.
