Try mentioning specific moments from their wedding day that stood out to you - perhaps their first dance song or how emotional they got during their vows. Reference any major milestones they've achieved during their first year, like buying a home, adopting a pet, or surviving their first holiday season as a married couple. Don't forget to add personal anecdotes about how you've seen them grow together in just one year - maybe they've become better at compromising or have developed cute couple rituals.

Reference the historical events they've lived through as a couple, from cultural shifts to technological revolutions. I also love mentioning their family legacy - their children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren as living testaments to the love they've nurtured over the years.
