23rd anniversary poems

Twenty-three, a beryl glow,
Of calm and harmony and grace.
May happiness forever grow
And warmth fill every corner of your place!

Like beryl shining soft and clear,
May your union always shine,
May each new day and every year
Be gentle, joyful and divine!

23rd anniversary gift ideas

The symbolic gift for a beryl anniversary is jewellery with beryl or one of its “relatives”: aquamarine, emerald or morganite. Friends might give something for relaxing together or making home cosier: a set of glasses for a celebration dinner, a lovely tablecloth or a weekend voucher. Flowers in soft green-blue or pastel shades work well, and a pair of flower-decorated glasses makes a nice addition to the bouquet.
