Happy Anniversary…
Time has come and time has gone
but the laughter has remained,
and in the memories we have shared
the smiles never fade,
and in the time that is yet to be,
more joy we shall make,
as my heart shall grow to love you more,
I love you now and always.

Happy Anniversary, verse # 12
Happy Anniversary…
Writers have tried to describe it in verse and in prose,
this feeling that begins as the sweetest little twinge
and grows over time into something magnificently unique,
overwhelming at times, subtle at others, but always present,
as I look back over the years we’ve been together,
sorting through boxes of memories, smiles and tears,
I grin when I remember that sweet little twinge that started it all,
and I feel grateful joy when I think of all that it’s grown to be.

Happy Anniversary…
In the autumn of our life,
I look back and remember our beginnings,
humble as they were but sweetened with the taste of promise
and blessed with tomorrows,
and as our tomorrows became our yesterdays
and promises came to pass,
we loved and we grew,
reaching this wonderful place in our life together
where we can look back at our yesterdays with learning and fondness,
celebrating each day,
and looking forward to the winter of our life together
and the promises of tomorrows yet to be.

Happy Anniversary…
Congratulations on your anniversary,
to a couple who has set an enlightening example
of what it means to be married, to share a life with someone,
to build a legacy, a family,
strengthened by time, nourished by respect,
and surrounded with love.

Happy Anniversary…
Looking about this house, one can see the life from the past (insert # of years) years in the memories hanging on the walls, photographs of the years gone by, children and grandchildren, graduations and weddings, faces aging through laughter and smiles, sunny days and snow storms, fashion trends and hair styles. And woven through them all, in this tapestry of family and friends, are photographs of the two of you, together, with a gleam in your eyes meant only for each other.

Happy Anniversary…
Through the passage of time you have traveled together,
through peaceful waters and over stormy seas,
holding fast to each other and
holding tight to your faith,
trusting God would oversee your journey,
knowing when to drop the anchor or sail toward the horizon;
Over time you have learned the lessons of sailing,
of trusting the compass, of minding the wheel,
and of balancing upon the waves of life;
And together you’ll hoist the sails,
continuing to travel into the future
with God as your Captain,
and with love in your sails.

Happy Anniversary, verse # 7 (to parents)
Happy Anniversary…
In the quiet moments when I contemplate life, I remember days as a child, laughing as though I had not a care in the world, playing in the sun, and feeling like the luckiest child in the world each time I received a hug or a story---or a lollypop that usually got stuck in my hair. But, everything would always be all right because I seemed surrounded by people with answers, people with patient hearts and joyful spirits, people who loved me. Now that I’m older with children of my own, I strive to be the type of parent I had. And, it’s in these quiet moments when I realize that the type of person, the parent that I am today, I owe to you, my parents. Happy Anniversary to the couple who taught me more than any other; your encouraging examples shall travel on through generations.

Happy Anniversary…
Together, we have sailed,
our sails filling with the breeze of each day as we travel towards tomorrow,
as we mind the wheel and steady the compass,
dropping an anchor now and then,
taking the time to appreciate the beauty of the ocean and of the sky,
making the time to take advantage of our time together;
and, together, we have weathered the storms,
braving high winds by holding tight to each other
and having faith that God will show us the way;
and, as our sail through life continues and our future awaits,
there are blue skies ahead, dotted with smiling clouds
pregnant with years of cherished memories yet to be born,
waiting for the day that they will take flight into our sails.

Happy Anniversary, verse # 5
Happy Anniversary…
When we’re young, we think of marriage as being a fairytale, a life of princess dresses and carriage rides and princes on bended knee.
But, you’ve shown me that a real marriage has a foundation of love and is a structure built of trust and respect that is strengthened each day by the two of us working together, supporting each other as we travel through life, and helping each other to always maintain hope and faith…and your example reminds me each day that what we have is better than any fairytale.

Happy Anniversary….
Our love has been like a tree,
growing from a glance, a seed, into a relationship of strength and trust.
And, now, after years of deepening our roots to anchor us during the storms
and growing branches to welcome in the beauty of the sun
we have reached a new milestone, another ring for our tree, our anniversary.
Thank you for being my source of strength and grace through the years,
of being an example of wisdom,
and thank you because, together, we have weathered all the storms.

Happy Anniversary…
If I could double the joy you’ve given me
and give it back to you
it would never be enough to show you
how much you mean to me.

Happy Anniversary, verse #2
Happy Anniversary….
You were there with me
when our children were born and as they grew into adulthood,
building their own lives and starting their own families.
You were there with me
through financial hardships that left our future uncertain
and in prosperous times.
You were there with me
when we realized that marriage is not a ceremony or a honeymoon
but a series of days that add up to years filled with
daily household chores and laughter,
cars leaking oil and a baby’s first steps,
goodbye kisses and good morning smiles,
monthly bills and flowers that bloom every spring
and remain, brightening even the warmest summer day.
You were there with me,
teaching me to be strong,
showing me the happiness that can be found
in the most common of moments,
in the most ordinary of days.
You were there with me,
beside me through it all.
And, as another milestone passes by,
I know that the joy and the laughter have
far outweighed the struggles we’ve faced together
and I know that we made it through the hard times because
You were there with me.

Happy Anniversary, verse #1
Happy Anniversary…
Rest your head upon my heart
and know it beats for you,
know my love for you is here
until our days are through,
and as we change and as we grow
and years shall come to pass,
know my heart will never change,
my love for you will last,
and as we age older still,
I will comfort you,
until my heart shall beat no more,
my heart shall beat for you.
Rest your head upon my heart
and know it beats for you,
know my love for you is here
until our days are through,

and as we age older still,
I will comfort you,
until my heart shall beat no more,
my heart shall beat for you.
