Three years of marriage is traditionally called the leather anniversary. Leather is strong yet supple and only gets better with time, much like a relationship after three years together: the first quarrels and everyday tests are behind you, and you have learnt to adapt to each other. Below are short leather anniversary wishes, words for a wife and a husband, messages from parents and friends, funny lines, poems and gift ideas for three years of marriage.

Other anniversaries: first (cotton), wooden (5 years), tin (10); plus relationship anniversary wishes.

Leather anniversary poems

Three years of love, a leather bond,
As strong as hide, as soft as touch;
May every day you're truly fond
Bring you the things you love so much!

The first few storms have passed you by,
Your bond is supple, strong and true;
May every day beneath the sky
Bring brand-new happiness to you!
