Anniversary Quotes & Captions
By Jatin Shankar Srivastava · Updated
A good anniversary quote does one of two things: it says something you could not put into words yourself, or it makes the person you love smile because it sounds like the two of you.
Below are five well-attributed lines from writers who thought hard about love and marriage, and original captions written for photographs, cards and WhatsApp statuses. Where a quote has a source, we say so.
Anniversary quotes worth using
“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.”
— Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic’s Notebook (1963) “Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars (1939) “Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be.”
— Robert Browning, “Rabbi Ben Ezra” (1864) “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
— Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights (1847) “I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.”
— Roy Croft, “Love” (commonly attributed)
Where a quote is only commonly attributed rather than firmly sourced, we say so. If you know an earlier source, tell us and we will correct it.

How to use a quote in an anniversary card
A quote works best as a frame, not the whole card. Put the quote on one line, credit the author, then add a sentence of your own beneath it. The quote says what you could not; your sentence says what only you can.
For a caption, stay short. A caption is read in one glance beside a photograph, and the photograph is doing most of the work. Choose the line that adds something the picture does not — a date, a joke, a promise.
Scroll it. Flip it. Feel it.
This is a real anniversary website running live inside the phone. Watch the together-timer tick, scroll the story, flip a reason, break a wax seal, then pick a theme to change its mood. This is exactly what your person will open.
