Tin is for ten years.

Sn.  That’s the periodic table symbol for tin.

Tin, as it happens, is the traditional metal for one’s ten year anniversary.

A lot of people might not know that tin doesn’t occur naturally.  Tin has to be extracted from another compound that occurs in nature.

Tin is malleable, flexible, binding, and protective.

Tin is not glamorous.  It’s not as awe inspiring as, say, diamonds

But, tin requires work.

Tin doesn’t just happen.  And, that makes tin something special.

Ten years.

All of them happy.  All of them hard work.

In ten years, I have learned one thing: we are not perfect.

But I think we’re just perfect for each other.
