9th anniversary poems

Nine years, a tender date,
Like a daisy in the sun.
May your love be strong and great
And your hearts beat as one!

Pottery is fragile, so take care
Of each other every day,
May your love be always there
And never fade away!

Gift ideas for a 9th anniversary

For 9 years of marriage, faience gifts are traditional: a tea set, pretty plates, a vase or ceramic figurines. In keeping with the daisy name, bouquets of daisies or daisy-like chrysanthemums work well, as do soft white and pink roses. An especially touching gift is a photo shoot of the couple in a daisy field or a family photo session.
