Our favorite love birds made it through the first year of marriage!


In the US there is a traditional gift assigned to each anniversary year.  They start of simple and then increase in value.  This represents the level of investment the couple has made to each other.  The traditional gift for a first anniversary is paper. 
 

Paper is a lovely gift with a  variety of uses from ranging from boring cards to exciting fortune telling games.
   

It is also relatively inexpensive since the traditional couple is still broke from having a wedding.


There is also the Valentine's Day of Anniversary lists known as the Modern Anniversary Gift list.  The traditional list has gift ideas for 1-15th anniversaries and then every fifth anniversary after that up to 60.  In order to make more money a group of greedy jewelers got together an made a new list so that we spend more money.
 
The modern list replaces old-fashioned gifts with more practical (expensive) items, and has ideas for more years of celebrations. 

If you are more of a modern couple the modern wedding gift for a first anniversary is a clock.



The couples can decide if they enjoy writing or telling time together.

If you want to relive all of the excitement of the wedding last year you should check out Team Charam featured on an actual real blog.  There is just something about the cinco de marriage wedding that bloggers love.
 

Also, this same blog blogged about The Terror That Shall Not be Named.  I can now rest well knowing that many others out there will unknowingly embark on a journey of stress and anxiety.  Revenge is mine.
