The Best Instagram Captions To Celebrate Another Year Of Marriage

Marriage ain’t easy, so cheers for hanging in there!

You did it! Another year in the books of being married to the love of your life. While you pose and capture the trendiest shots to post, the next part is coming up with the perfect Instagram captions for your wedding anniversary. You don’t want to sound corny or too cliché, right? So the best option is to go with honesty. It’s always worked for me.

A few years back, while at the park with my toddlers, my older brother asked me a totally random question.

“How is it?”

“How’s what?” I asked, plenty confused.

“How is it being married?”

My husband and I’d been married for seven years, had moved to two countries, and had twins along the way. I swiftly gave him my most transparent answer, the one I’d tell anyone: “It’s work. We knew going into this that it’s not a fairytale. But when you’re with the right person, it’s all worth it.”

Marriage is a complicated, beautiful beast, and the best way to capture it in your IG captions is to cover the wide range of emotions that come with committing to for better or for worse. The laughs, tense moments, snoring in your face, being adored by your favorite person, clothes on the floor, attitudes, adult tantrums... you get where I’m going with this. Be funny, be compelling, be sappy, be honest. (Honestly, this is making me want to post about my hubs right now).

Here are some Instagram captions you can use that convey every feeling behind your stunning images.
