One year of marriage, how time has flown,
A love that’s flourished and now has grown.
To mark this special day in style,
A gift that’s sure to make you smile.

For first anniversary, the theme is paper,
A symbol of love that will not waver.
From books to letters to tickets and more,
There’s so much to choose from in store.

Perhaps a photo album to capture your memories,
Or a paperweight that holds your sweetest melodies.
A framed print of your wedding day,
Or a personalised map to show the way.

Whatever you choose, let it be,
A reflection of your love so free.
A token to cherish, to hold and behold,
And a reminder of the love that unfolds.
