REMEMBERING EVERY YEAR OF MARRIAGE


FIRST YEAR – PAPER: THE BEGINNING OF A BEAUTIFUL STORY


As you and your partner navigate the first year of marriage, celebrating your paper anniversary symbolizes the fragile yet hopeful start of your new life together.


Consider making memories with simple yet meaningful gifts like a personalized journal or tickets to a local event. Despite the excitement, many couples are still budget-conscious post-wedding, so creativity is key!

FIFTH YEAR – WOOD: STRENGTH AND STABILITY
