I'd Marry You Again

(Anne Peterson)

With tiny tears that glistened, my eyes were fixed on you.
And thinking of the life we'd share, we softly said "I do."

Our hearts were knit together from the time that we first met,
And memories were gathered, that we never will forget.

While daily living life with you, you saw the real me,
And still you chose acceptance, a lifelong mystery.

With many happy days gone by, and others when we cried,
Some days we'd share so endlessly, while other days we'd hide.

With all the ups and downs we've had, in learning to be friends,
I know that in this heart of mine, I'd marry you again.

Fiftieth Anniversary

(Nancy Smith)

Fifty years ago we started our life.
It was the day we became husband and wife.
The years passed by and our children are all gone.
Now our little ones have babes of their own.
And sometimes it seems like the time went too fast.
When we reminisce of our life in the past.
But there is still one thing that I know I would do...
I would still spend another 5 decades with you.

Fifty Years Is Really Not Enough

(Nicholas Gordon)

Anniversary Album Idea

Start with your first year together and add a photo each year. You can include memorabilia from special outings and a list of things you accomplished during that year. You can also do an Anniversary Album for a friend's or family special anniversary - such as the 25th or 50th or an album with photos of 25th or 50th anniversaries of various family members. Decorate a sentiments album to give to a newly wed couple with their wedding photo on the first page and pages for subsequent anniversaries.

Find You a Partner

(This is from an embroidery pattern meant to go across the top of a sheet. The pictures were "hillbilly" style and the one for the last two lines was a couple with small children. It would make a cute anniversary page with photos of dating, wedding, family, etc.)
