“Happy anniversary baby!” may seem like such a common and cliché greeting to tell your partner or to inscribe in your happy anniversary card. So is the generic “Happy anniversary!” Come on, you can think of something better than that, right?
Of course, you have the option to simply scour bookstores to purchase happy anniversary cards or even online. But wouldn’t it be better to create and personalize your own happy anniversary messages that will show your partner that you truly care? What about creating your own happy marriage anniversary card – don’t you think your spouse would appreciate that more than an off-the-rack card?
In order to find out the best types of greetings, it’s best to read what other writers have created in the past.
Here are four of the sweetest and most inspiring happy anniversary poems and happy anniversary quotes we have found. Happy anniversary wishes don’t need to be one of the wise quotes about life and love penned by someone else, as you can think up your own special message. However, maybe looking at other sayings will help you to get inspired in writing your own happy anniversary messages.
The Day I Met You
By Kara Colaiuta
“When I met you I found out what true love was,
Still today it amazes me what it really does,
I’ve always been in love with you even when we were apart,
From the moment I saw you I knew you’d always have my heart,
I knew with all that I am one day I’d be your wife,
And when that day came I had a meaning to my life,
We’ve been through so much and it hasn’t even been a year,
Our love keeps growing stronger and stronger I think that’s pretty clear,
Thank you my husband for loving me and sticking by my side,
When I think of you, my husband, I am filled with so much pride.”
Happy Anniversary
By Kirk A. Finney
“When years are passing by like days,
and in my hand your hand is placed,
a knowing smile crosses your face,
a simple touch can still make my heart race.
When I can see my soul in your eyes,
and you see your soul in mine we realize,
that a love so deep can harbor no lies,
where our only tears shed were happy tears we’ve cried.
I love you as much now as I ever did before,
if possible, I may even love you more,
all starting from a feeling we did not ignore,
a feeling of connection we chose to explore.
I don’t know what it is that you saw in me,
what I saw in you was the utmost happiness
that can ever be,
even more so on the day when you and I
became “We”,
I can still smile and say with love and
truth Honey, I love you … Happy Anniversary.”
To My Dear and Loving Husband
By Anne Bradstreet
“If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let’s so persevere
That when we live no more, we may live ever.”
Beloved, My Beloved
By Elizabeth Barrett
“Beloved, My Beloved Beloved, when I think
That thou were in the world a year ago,
What time I sat alone here in the snow
And saw no footprint, heard the silence sink
No moment thy voice, but, link by link,
Went counting all my chains as if that so
They never could fall off at any blow
Struck by thy possible hand,-why, thus I drink
Of life’s great cup of wonder! Wonderful,
Never to feel thee thrill the day or night
With personal act or speech,-nor ever cull
Some prescience of thee with the blossoms white
Thou saw growing! Atheists are as dull,
Who cannot guess God’s presence out of sight.”
