An anniversary song made from your story together
Anniversary songs earn their place because the day belongs to the two of you. Not the kids, not the job. A dinner reservation can't say much. A song written from your own years together can hold the first apartment and the hard winter, plus the running joke about the tent, in an order you can both sit and hear.

What to put in an anniversary song
Every service asks for the story differently. Whatever form you get, these are the details that make it sound like them and not like a greeting card.
We met in a parking lot argument over a dent and have been arguing happily ever since.
A one-room apartment above a bakery, where the floor sloped and the bread woke us up.
The year of the layoff, when we ate a lot of rice and somehow laughed more.
She still blames me for the tent, and I still say the instructions were wrong.
She warms my side of the bed before I get in, every night, without being asked.
I'd pick you again at twenty-three, and I'd pick you again today.
When to order an anniversary song
Write down the few stories that define the two of you. Include one that wasn't easy.
Choose a service from the picks above and send your story. Ask for the style you both actually play at home.
Listen once alone, then decide whether it opens the evening or closes it.
Play it somewhere you can both sit still, with the phones face down.
Questions
Is a song a good gift for a first anniversary?
Yes. The traditional first-anniversary gift is paper, and a song starts life as a story on paper. One year gives you plenty to work with. Use the wedding day, your first fight as a married couple, and whatever you're both still laughing about.
What about a big anniversary, like twenty-five or fifty years?
A long marriage gives you too much material, not too little. Pick one thread and follow it, maybe the house you built or the way you still greet each other at the door. When grown children order the song together, decide early who's telling the story.
Should the song be from me or from both of us?
From you, if it's a surprise. The best anniversary songs sound like one person talking plainly to the other. If you'd rather share it, write the story together and keep the voice as “we.” Either works. Pick one before you start writing.
Can I include the hard years, or should it all be happy?
Include one. A song that's all sunshine sounds like a card. A verse about the year you nearly didn't make it, followed by the fact that you did, is about the most honest thing you can give her. Keep it short and let the chorus carry it home.

Pick a service and jot down three of the details above. That's enough to start.
