Celebrate Your Love! 70 Happy Anniversary Quotes & Wishes To Share
Sweet words for your love to wish them a happy anniversary.
YourTango Happy anniversary! Whether you've been dating for a few years or are married to your best friend and lover for decades, it's time to celebrate the date you made your true love official with anniversary quotes in a sweet message.
No matter what year of marriage you're welcoming — your first year, 25th anniversary or 50th anniversary and beyond — an anniversary is a time to remember what it was like when you were first falling in love, knowing those lips you kissed would be the only ones you wanted for the rest of your life.
This is the time for the perfect message in the form of a sweet anniversary quote to show how much you care, appreciate, and love each other.
This is the moment where you express why you are your own favorite couple or reminisce about your wedding day. This is when you convey the message that your life is better with your other half by your side. And if you're more of a comedian, to bring your sense of humor into your message.
Your anniversary is a special time for couples, so no matter how you choose to celebrate this special marriage milestone, let your partner know just how much they mean to you. A wedding anniversary quote in an anniversary, card or a sweet message shared on social media, shows the person you love that they are still the light of your life, as well as your top priority.
Each couple has their own special anniversary traditions, and a gift doesn't have to come with a hefty price tag. Many people agree that receiving a heartfelt anniversary card or love note that captures your authentic feelings is all they need from the person they love.
It could be as simple as saying "I love you" or "I thank God for you every morning I wake up in your arms." Really, though, there are so many things you can say to each other. And if you're wishing a friend couple of yours, or even your mom and dad, a happy anniversary, say you're proud of how far they've come or how much they've grown together.
A handwritten note, quote posted on Facebook or Instagram, or sweet thought sent in a text on your special day could be the best anniversary gift your husband or wife has yet to receive. But if you're at a loss for words, or if a funny anniversary message is more your style, never fear.
These are the best anniversary quotes to help you say whatever captures your love and marriage best.
