Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn't jealous. It doesn't sing its own praises. It isn't arrogant. It isn't rude. It doesn't think about itself. It isn't irritable. It doesn't keep track of wrongs. It isn't happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth. Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up. Love never comes to an end.
I Corinthians 13: 4 - 8 (15)
Sample First Anniversary Messages
It seems like yesterday that I saw you walk down the aisle. My heart has not stopped fluttering ever since. Being married to you has made every day seem like our first date - fun, exciting and full of surprises. I love you today, tomorrow and always. (1-AN)
Paper is the traditional gift for an anniversary. At first I thought, how boring. What is so special about a piece of paper? Then I thought about all of the beauty that exists in the words that have been put on paper throughout the ages. Although my gift to you may not end up in a museum as a priceless work of art, to me there is no one more valuable than you. I wouldn't trade you for anything in the world. Your kind, sweet and compassionate and I can tell that your love for me is true. If on any given day I forget to say, "I love you," pull out this paper and remember that I will love you as much tomorrow as I love you today. (2-AN)
Happy First Anniversary! I am so excited to be married to you. You are an inspiration and a source of strength. Your love is so pure and true and I can only imagine how great our lives are going to be together. I love you so much. (3-AN)
I never imagined that I could be this happy. From the moment that I said, "I do" my life has become so much better now that we have made such a strong commitment to each other. I know that our love is so strong that it will stand the test of time and I look forward to a lifetime of happiness with you. (4-AN)
Love is something eternal.
The aspect may change,
but not the essence.
Vincent Van Gogh (5-AN)
What greater thing is there
for two human souls,
than to feel that they are joined for life
to strengthen each other
in all labor,
to rest on each other
in all sorrow,
to minister to each other
in all pain,
and to be with each other
in silent, unspeakable memories.
George Eliot (6-AN)
How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Ways
Written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right:
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -- and if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death. (7-AN)
"On this celebration of our first year of marriage, I want you to know that my love for you is as strong as it has ever been. I will continue to love, honor and cherish you forever. You are my soulmate, my inspiration and my strength. We is greater than me because you make me a better person"(Brian Borgia) (8-AN)

Sample Valentines Day Messages
At this time of year, when everyone really thinks about those that they love and treasure the most, my thoughts are fixed on you.(1-V)
Although Valentines Day is the one day dedicated to express your love for someone special, I want you to know that I will love you always. 7 days a week. 24 hours a day. 365 days a year. Forever. I cannot imagine spending one day without telling you how much you mean to me. I Love you.(2-V)
The most important gift that I can give you this Valentines Day is the Key to my Heart.(3-V)
You have opened up my heart to a new kind of love that fills my soul. I can't wait to spend tonight, tomorrow, next year - the rest of my life - loving you.(4-V)
Saying "Happy Valentines Day" seems so inadequate to express my true feelings for you. I love everything about you - who you are and how you make me feel. I offer you this Key To My Heart - even though you have held it for quite some time. Hold it near and never forget that my love for you will stay forever true. (5-V)
Valentines Day only comes once a year. The love that I have for you comes only once in a lifetime. (6-V)
Falling in love with you have made every day seem like Valentines Day. I cannot contain how much I love you and want everyone to know that there is no one who has been as special to me (nor will there ever be again) as you. Forever and Always. (7-V)
This seemed like a great day to let you know something that I have been keeping "bottled up" inside. I Love You. With all my heart and all of my soul. I never knew if I could "fall in love" until I met you. You are an amazing person and being with you makes me a beter person. (8-V)
