No, 25 years is not traditionally considered golden.
Based on traditional anniversary gift lists, each year is associated with a specific material. Here's a table showing some common anniversary milestones:
Anniversary Year | Traditional Gift Material |

10th | Tin |
15th | Crystal |
20th | China |

As you can see, the 25th wedding anniversary is traditionally associated with silver, not gold. The 50th wedding anniversary is the one celebrated with gold, which is why it's often called the "golden" anniversary. Therefore, while 25 years is a significant milestone worthy of celebration, it’s known as the silver anniversary, not the golden anniversary.
