This is a wonderfully written acrostic and very romantic. It is nice to see a rhyming acrostic. This is a great anniversary present.

Congratulations on being married for so long.

Keep writing

Well you have us beat. I am my husband's second wife and we have been together for 39 years. When I saw the date you got married, I flashed to my parents who married April 17, 1950 and divorced 17 years later. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing
