35th wedding anniversary: coral

A coral reef grows very slowly. Tiny creatures add layer after layer over the years until it becomes a place where countless fish and other sea life find shelter. Marriage works the same way: yours has grown through more than twelve thousand ordinary days, and today everyone you love is happy to gather at your table.

Thank you for 35 years of showing us what everyday love looks like. We wish you good health, slow mornings and many more Sunday dinners with everyone around the table.

Thirty-five years together is a big, beautiful piece of life. We hope the years ahead are a little calmer than the ones behind you, with just as much laughter as ever.

After 35 years, I still listen for your key in the door, and I still have so much to tell you. Let’s keep it this way for a long time.

How to spend the day

Invite the whole family to dinner and ask everyone to bring one old photo of the two of you. After dessert, lay them out on the table from oldest to newest and tell the story behind each one.

Tradition

Coral isn’t a stone or a plant but an animal: reefs are built by colonies of tiny polyps related to jellyfish. That’s why coral-colored things make a kinder gift than real coral.
