The first year of marriage is a beautiful whirlwind. It's a year of firsts, of learning and growing together, of laying the foundation for a lifetime of love.

The Meaning Behind the Milestone: What is a Paper Anniversary?
The Paper Anniversary is the 1st wedding anniversary.
Why Paper? The tradition of giving paper for the first anniversary is full of beautiful meaning:
-
A Blank Page: Your first year is the start of a new chapter. Like a blank sheet of paper, your story together is just beginning to be written.
-
Fragile Beginnings: Paper is fragile, symbolizing the delicate nature of a new marriage that needs to be cared for to last.
-
Interwoven Fibers: A sheet of paper is made of interwoven fibers, representing the way your two lives have become strongly connected.
