Paper weddingOur 1st Anniversary is
the perfect time to tell you
what you mean to me.
How I depend on you to love me for who I am
and believe in me for what I hope to be.
How I feel loved each time you smile or touch my hand and,
when I need someone to listen,
I know you'll understand.
So (Name of person is inserted here),
I celebrate this special year of loving you,
grateful that we have the happiness
life gives to just a few.
(Closing - Example:
Happy 1st Anniversary John
Love Forever, Annie (Optional date)

The paper wedding, as is typical for all the early anniversaries, is normally celebrated by the couple in an intimate manner, it is the later anniversaries where lavish parties are thrown; having said that if you are a party animal there is nothing stopping you having a party, get your mates round and watch the wedding video together over a pizza and a few beers.
If you do decide to throw a paper anniversary celebration, then it would be down to the couple to arrange the function, this does not mean you have to do it personally merely that the burden is not traditionally placed on any other family member.
The paper wedding is frequently celebrated with the couple eating a piece of their original wedding cake. Generally this piece is frozen after the reception and saved for this occasion. Any piece will do, but on tiered cakes the top tier is usually saved. You may note that this is a relatively new tradition since the option to freeze the wedding cake is only available to those with modern appliances. Besides, following innovations, you may celebrate paper wedding by planting a tree or a bush.
The 1st is the most important, because...well, it's the 1st! Your traditional first anniversary gift is "paper". Among the traditional gifts for paper wedding you will find personalized stationary set, a gift certificate for his/her favorite restaurant, concert tickets or sporting event tickets, stocks and/or bonds, a poster or print, and a watercolour printing as well.
A modern symbol of the 1st wedding anniversary is a clock. So a clock or a cool new watch may be a good gift idea. If you want to make a real surprise to your partner, buy tickets to London. Whilst there visit Westminster and Big Ben, the worlds’ best known clock. It will be a joint, modern and traditional 1st anniversary wedding gift idea.
The Gemstone associated with paper wedding is fresh water pearls, and the flowers appropriate for this anniversary are pansies. So water pearls or pansies are also great first anniversary gift idea.
