An anniversary song written about your wife

An anniversary song for your wife answers one plain question. Do you still see her? Not the name on the joint account. The woman who laughed at your worst joke the first week you met. A song written about her answers it, with the hard winter you got through and the small things she thinks nobody notices.

What to put in the story

What to put in an anniversary song for your wife

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.

The first week

She laughed so hard at the restaurant that the waiter brought us a free dessert.

What she carries

She keeps every school letter in a shoebox and knows which teacher wrote which one.

A hard year

When my dad was sick she drove four hours every weekend and didn't complain once.

Her small rituals

Tea at ten with two sugars, and the crossword she finishes before I get the paper.

Something she doubts

She thinks she isn't funny, and she's the funniest person I've ever met.

The years in numbers

Three apartments, two kids, one dog, and the same chipped mug she refuses to replace.

When to order an anniversary song

Six weeks out

Write things down as they come to you, including the ordinary days, not only the big ones.

Four weeks out

Choose a service from the picks above and send the story with her name and how you want the song to feel.

Two weeks out

Listen to the first version alone and check names and dates. Ask for a change, if the service offers one, where a line isn't true to her.

The anniversary

Play it at the end of dinner, or at home before you go out, so she hears it without a crowd.

Questions

Which anniversary is a song right for?

Any of them. A first anniversary song is about the start. A tenth is about what you've built. A twenty-fifth or fortieth can carry the whole arc, from the first week to the grandkids. The story you send sets the scope, so decide which years you want it to hold.

Should the song be romantic or funny?

Match it to her. If she cries at movies, lean warm. If she teases you daily, give the song a wink and a verse about your worst habit. The best ones do both, a funny line about the chipped mug and then a true one about what she means to you.

What if I'm not good with words?

You don't need to be. The service turns your notes into lyrics. Your job is the facts, plus two or three stories only the two of you share. Plain notes work better than polished ones. Write it the way you'd tell a friend over a beer.

Can the kids be part of the song?

Yes, and they often make the gift. Mention each child by name and the thing they got from her. Add a line from them if they want one. A song that says what the whole family sees in her tends to be the one she plays for her friends.

Find the one that sounds like them.

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