Sometimes wedding anniversary messages can take a look back to compare the marriage as it was with what it is and what it will become. This free verse (nonrhyming) poem does that. 

Remember?

Remember the first flush of love
 that drew you powerfully together?
 It still feeds the unassailable bond
 that makes your marriage so secure.
 Remember all the qualities about each other
 you found so endearing?
 They are still there,
 and new ones create sweet surprises.
 Remember thinking that this love
 would last forever?
 Your love has strengthened and grown
 into eternal affection and admiration.
 Years from now, you'll look back
 at this anniversary
 and realize you love each other
 more than ever.

Happy Anniversary!

Really Rare

Sometimes, when people marry,
They have not thought it through.
It does not go the way they planned,
And it makes them kind of blue.

But your joining seems a blessing;
You seem such a happy pair.
It makes the ones who know you
Realize you’re really rare.

So we’re glad we can celebrate with you,
On this your anniversary day.
We know your love will triumph
Through your whole life, come what may.

A Golden Milestone

Each year together is a milestone
Each decade is an accomplishment
On your 50th anniversary celebrate victory
You have done something that not many have.
You have stuck by each other
through thick and through thin.
Your love has seen you through it all
And you have reason to celebrate.

Celebrate Together

Nothing is more special than a 50th anniversary.
Here's hoping that yours is special and memorable
That you enjoy the company of family and friends
And that it's a day that you will never forget.
You have had a good, long life together
And have reached this day despite sorrow
Despite hardships and pain beyond measure
And you deserve the chance to celebrate.

A Precious Gem

Each anniversary is a precious gem.
When you reach your 50th anniversary
It's the gold that encompasses the others.
Treasure the time that you have together
Love, laugh, and hug each day
And you will have many more years to spend.

Something to Celebrate

A 50th anniversary is a rare treasure.
It usually doesn't happen, so
When it does it's something to be celebrated.
Here is hoping your anniversary
Is memorable, is amazing and is as special
As the two of you are and always will be.

Happiness

Today is a celebration
of something very rare.
You've been married 50 years
And your happiness we share.
So here's to a special couple.
May your happiness live on.
And may you kiss each other
Every dusk and every dawn.

Anniversary Poems For Friends

I ask that none of the words of these verses be changed. They are all free for you to use, but must remain as I have written them.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a

God gave you and me
A precious love
That has grown in time
When things were tough
It was in those times
When love came through,
In laughing, in crying,
Our love stands true
Our love still grows
And deepens even more
With hope in our hearts
And trust in our Lord.

God has said
That we should not
Live our lives alone
But to have someone
Close by our side
Together to make a home

He gave to me
Someone like you
So I could share my life
Together we stand,
Whatever may come,
With God's love inside.

God has given me
Someone like you
To have and to hold
'Till our lives are through
Our lives together
Was planned from the start,
It was there in the making
When love touched our hearts.

Life has its share
Of happy and sad,
Some laughter and tears,
Some good and some bad
I just want to say,
I'm glad I have you
To share those times with
And God's precious love too.

My love for you
Is still strong
Upon the foundation
Our marriage is built on
On this special day
That I share with you,
We reflect back on
The day we said, 'I do'
For God has blessed
This love we share
With each new day
And each new year.

God was there
At the start
When our lives touched

He filled our lives;
He filled our hearts
Our love was such

And still today,
In every way,
I love you just as much.

I just wanted to say
How much that I love you,
From the moment that we met
And long after we've said, "I Do"
I can't ever imagine
You not being in my life,
I thank the Lord for joining us
Together as husband and wife.

From the day we pledged our love,
I seem to love you more
Over time our love has deepened
And grown stronger in the Lord
Through all the ups and downs we've had,
Our love has not grown dim
The light burns brighter to reflect
The love of God within.

You are the love of my life
And no one else could compare,
The Lord joined us together as one
With a precious love to share
My soul mate and my closest friend,
Together walking through life,
Hand in hand with a common purpose
To be faithfully serving Christ.

Some Wedding Anniversary verses for other people's Wedding Anniversaries. More to be added.

Your marriage is so beautiful
And is truly heaven made,
Your love, hope and faith in God
Is strong and does not fade
May you truly sense God's love
As you celebrate today
And see the future years together
As memories to be made.

Your commitment to each other
Is so evident to us,
Through all the ups and downs of life,
You've learned how to trust
We pray that as you celebrate
The love you both share,
You'll sense the love and grace of God
And know He's always near.

For 1st Wedding Anniversary:

Still fresh in your minds,
Is the day you said, 'I do',
The fairy tale wedding
And the honeymoon too
Now a year down the track
You're still so much in love,
But have found getting along,
At times, a little rough
But your trust in the Lord
Is what strengthens your faith
And what grows you as a couple
In God's amazing grace.

#1 For a Silver Wedding Anniversary:

Twenty-five years have passed
Since the day you said, 'I do',
But still your love is strong
And remains forever true
With strength drawn from God,
His Word and from prayer,
The years have only deepened
The love that you both share.

Your love strengthens through faith,
Faith deepens through virtue,
Virtue develops through knowledge,
Knowledge prospers through self-control,
Self-control commits through endurance,
Endurance renews through godliness,
Godliness flourishes through brotherly kindness
Brotherly Kindness awakens your love…

As you reminisce over the years gone by
And the covenant made in love,
God's hand was seen to be evident
Through life's changes, the smooth and rough —
For it was your love interwoven with faith
That sustained you through those years,
So your future could be another adventure,
An exciting journey to share.

Are poured out on you today
And increase in greater measure
As the future years unfold.
