Write a handwritten letter during your wedding week. We'll deliver it on your first anniversary — the day you two finally get to sit down and read what the newlywed version of you had to say.
Wedding weeks are a blur of family arriving, vendor texts, rehearsal dinners, and one long, exhausting, incredible day. You spent a year planning it; you have maybe ten minutes of it that you'll remember clearly. The photos are beautiful and somehow they aren't quite what it felt like. The videos are long and nobody ever watches them. The actual emotional texture of your wedding — how you felt standing across from each other, what you wrote in your vows, what you promised yourselves you'd remember — fades faster than anyone warns you it will.
A letter pins it down. You each write one during the wedding week — before the ceremony, the morning of, or the quiet few days right after — and you tell each other everything. What it felt like to watch them walk down the aisle. The vows you made that you want to be held to. The future you are both promising each other on this specific day. You seal the letters, mail them to us, and one year later — on your first anniversary — they land in your mailbox.
The first anniversary is the perfect date for this delivery. By then you've been married an entire year. You've already run into the first small conflicts, the first silly inside jokes, the first real tests of the promises you made. You open the letters you wrote 365 days earlier — when you were still half in shock that you were married at all — and you get to meet the newlywed version of yourselves. A wedding photo is a visual. A wedding letter is a voice. You'll read it again on your fifth anniversary, your tenth, your fiftieth.
