Ten years of marriage is called the tin anniversary, and also the pink anniversary. Tin is a flexible yet durable metal, just like a family that has learnt to compromise over ten years while keeping what matters most. Pink stands for tenderness that has not faded with time. Below are short tin anniversary wishes, words for a wife and a husband, messages from parents and friends, poems and gift ideas for ten years of marriage.
Other anniversaries: wooden (5 years), silver (25), golden (50); plus wedding anniversary wishes.
Ten years have passed just like a day,
And yet how much you've lived and shared!
May joy and love light up your way
And show how deeply you have cared!
Like tin that bends but never breaks,
Your love grows stronger year by year;
May every dream your heart awakes
Come true and keep you ever near!
Traditionally, tin items are given for the tenth anniversary: candlesticks, figurines or tableware. The anniversary's other name, pink, suggests the perfect flowers: pink roses or soft hydrangeas. A husband might give his wife 101 pink roses: ten for every year and one more for luck.
