The path that leads to happiness is so narrow
that two cannot walk on it
unless they have become one.

Here's a Leap Year Wedding Anniversary verse, poem for a couple who married on Leap Year Day (Leap Day) ie 29th February and therefore only have an Anniversary every 4 years. Leap Year Day (Leap Day) is the day our calendar realigns itself with the solar year.(The orbit takes not exactly 365 days but 6 hours more than that, hence...6x4=24 hours)
You only get to celebrate every 4th year
The anniversary of your hitch
On the good side, it'll be (2032)
Before you face the seven year itch !
Happy 1st (4th) Anniversary to
Two Leap Year Love Birds

A good marriage doesn't just happen.
It is made out of wisdom and compromise,
Sharing and caring.
Here's to the past -
And the joys you've both known.
Here's to the present -
This day all your own.
And here's to the future -
May every new day

Hey, there's more Wedding Anniversary poems, verses, quotes
How fortunate we are today
As we take the opportunity to say...
Privileged we are to share yet another year all together
Proud of our wonderful parents - may your love last forever
You faced your challenges... yet gave up... never
Always striving towards mutual respect and understanding
Now we see the secret to a marriage based on giving, not only demanding
Not yours was the example to undermine and scorn
Instead into love and kindness we were born
Vehemently you have held onto your marriage
Ever determined to stay together through time and its passage
Resolute and purposeful you have led by example
Shown us all the way to a marriage incredible
And so, Mom and Dad, we need to share
Resounding Happy Anniversary for your love and care
Yours is indeed a marriage quite rare

I knew that I had been touched by love the first time I saw you,
and I felt your warmth, and I heard your laughter.
I knew that I had been touched by love
when I quit making plans with my friends,
and started dreaming dreams with you.
I knew that I had been touched by love
when suddenly I stopped thinking in terms of "me",
and started thinking in terms of "we".
I knew that I had been touched by love
when suddenly I couldn't make any decisions by myself anymore,
and I had the strong desire to share everything with you.
I knew that I had been touched by love
the first time we spent alone together,
and I knew I wanted to stay with you forever
because I had never felt this touched by love.
I knew that I had been touched by love
When I awoke this morning next to you in bed
The (3,650th) morning I’ve done so
Since (10) years ago we wed
Happy Anniversary, my darling
© V4C
We simply take for granted,
From day to passing day,
Each sacrifice they make for us
In their own loving way.
But then we grow and finally learn,
The way that children do,
How much their love has really meant,
How thoughtful they've been, too
And so this comes with all the thanks
You both deserve and more.
For there aren't two dearer parents
Than the one this card's for
© V4C
True love is a sacred flame
That burns eternally,
And none can dim its special glow
Or change its destiny.
True love speaks in tender tones
And hears with gentle ear,
True love gives with open heart
And true love conquers fear.
True love makes no harsh demands
It neither rules nor binds,
And true love holds with gentle hands
The hearts that it entwines.
True love is what we have
And will forever more
I loved you when we wed
And you, forever, I’ll adore
Happy Anniversary, my darling
© V4C
This special anniversary wish
That comes with love to you
Brings warm and heartfelt thanks
For all the thoughtful things you do
It also comes to let you know
You both mean more each day
To everyone your lives have touched
In such a loving way.

With every beat of my heart
I feel yours inside of mine,
Together they beat as one
Keeping perfect time.
With every beat of my heart
I know that yours does to,
And every time it pumps
I know I'm feeling you.
With every beat of my heart
I feel mine loving you,
And with every beat of yours
I know you love me too.
With every beat of my heart
I thank God that I met you
I fell deeply, deeply, deeply in love
And thankfully you did too
With every beat of my heartv
And through every pore, and every sinew
Every cell, my very being
Is totally in love with you
Happy Anniversary, my darling
© V4C
When we first met
It was a dream come true
Which I can never forget
Because it was only you
Who was there for me
When I was down
There I could see
It was you I found
To bev Forever placed in my heart
Which you can see
That you were mine
Happy anniversary

Take a generous dose of love
Add a measure or two of respect
Mix in some co-operation
Stir with the spoon of kindness
Add a dash of affection
A cuddle or two to taste
And a goodly dollop of humour
Sprinkle on tolerance and patience
Bake it in a bowl of friendship
And what have you got?
Your marriage through the years
Keep Cooking On Gas

Wife regularly on TV game shows
For 25 years
You've perfected the art
Of staying together
By...keeping apart
It's not easy for you, Dad
You seek your own space
You slope off to watch telly
But still see (Mom's Mum's Mam's) face
You moan a lot and jingle your change
But let's face it, there's no escape
You can flick the remote as much as you like
But she's on the TV and on every tape
Over a pint in the pub, you have a good moan
That's the fate of every Magpie
While Mam perfects her game show skills
Giving talks at the WI
It's good Mam, you've got a bike
It's so much better than walking
Dad just thinks it's a blessed relief
It's the only time you stop talking
This is a very insulting tribute
But take it in good heart
Cogratulations Mam and Dad
You've reached Silver together...apart
Lots of love etc

On Boxing Day in '36
John and Kath said "I do"
Joined together for 60 years
That's mighty powerful glue
From (Thattown) to (Thistown)
You've come a long long way
Now on top of the world in (Dimond Court)
Overlooking (Roker's) Bay
Still very active
And rarely seen apart
You're teenage geriatrics
Modern and young at heart
We can reveal that John's 85
That's a well known fact
Telling Kathy's age would be a breach
Of the Official Secrets Act
Through Silver, Gold now Diamond
That's a long bridal path
Congratulation John
Congratulations Kath
Lots of love etc

Forty six to ninety six
That's 50 years all told
If marriage was an Olympic sport
You'd have got yourselves a gold
Proud parents to two children
Grandparents to five more
Who visit the "Harper Bakery"
It's Gran's cooking they all adore
Not only them...you've also had
Young Hudson mouths to fill
You could have had a thriving business
But you forgot to present the bill
Gladys.. work has kept you fit
And Bill.. you never moan
Well life's not for carrying cases
With a butler of your own
50 years...it's clear you made
The perfect partner choice
Congratulations, lots of love
From your loving sister, Joyce

It's 25 years since they wed
Put out the Silver Banners
Congratulations Bob and Joan
The cowboy caravanners
Bob's got trophies for being best dressed
Which no-one at all begrudges
Except for some catty cowboys
Who say he hypnotised the judges
But Bob just downs his whiskey
He's not one for hassle
It's Joans skillful fingers
That does wonders for his tassel
Joan's the boss of the Kirton ranch
Bob thinks that's fine
He's always towed the caravan
And always toed the line
Sharing a saddle for 25 years
You both have a sense of fun
Congratulations Mam and Dad
From Donny, your loving son

Bob Lifelong Pigeon Fancier
T'was in May '47
Bob and Maureen said " I do "
50 years together
Oh how the years just flew
They've taken foreign holidays
Jetted off through the air
They've flown round the dance floor
As an old time dancing pair
Sparks have flown from Bob
As a Blacksmith at his trade
And once he was a hero
Flying round to peoples aid
Maureen's never clipped Bob's wings
To the "Pigeon End" he likes to roam
But like a dedicated pigeon
He always comes back home
Such a really lovely couple
Rarely seen apart
After 50 years together
They're still just "chicks" at heart
Love and Congratulations
to the Pigeon King and his Queen, Maureen

This is a Golden Wedding Tribute
A short but poignant tale
Of Jim and Ava's life and times
In the Garden of Eden- Vale
They wed and soon had troubles
Evelyn and Jim to name but two
Jack made it triple trouble
So they quit...well wouldn't you?
The kids grew up and flew the nest
Jim took retirement pay
Then flopped down in the kitchen
He's been there to this day
Ava took up writing slogans
When not cemented to TV
She catches sight of the kitchen hermit
When he fetches cups of tea
For 50 years the strong silent bloke
Kept the love of his slogan writer
He retained his mystery...and never revealed
How to fill a cigarette lighter
Congratulations Mam and Dad
And Nana and Grandpa as well
This comes with love from E, J and J
A, B, C and L

SILVER FOR BRASS
When young Jack met young Rose
As he stared into her eyes
He said his family were made of Brass
He wasn't telling lies
He said "I'm into heavy metal"
'There's money' she thought in scrap
Her head was turned and before she knew
She was sitting on his lap
She misheard when he said he drove for Jet
She thought it was planes he flew
When he said he spent time at his club
She never dreamt it was C.I.U.
She thought she had a real good catch
So in '74 they wed
To the strains of "Here comes the bride"
Played by Motorhead
That was all a quarter century ago
Where have the years (and Jack's hair) gone?
They now have 3 strapping lads
Alan, James and John
To celebrate reaching Silver
Have a few jars of beer
And Rose, why not make Jack's night
Put on your Morrison's gear !!
All the best etc

Congratulations Eileen and Ted
While he's busy model making
And supporting the local team
She is seeking the perfect shape
Keep it up girl, you can dream
Since the tortoise has to emulate
The decor of Eileen and Ted
It prays they'll not choose tartan
But tortoiseshell instead
To the budding model and her model husband
We'd like to raise our glasses
Congrats on reaching Silver
From all the "Deli Lasses"
