Paper symbolizes a blank slate — your marriage is one year of writing your story. Modern interpretation: paper as art (printed canvas, custom prints, calligraphy) rather than literal paper. The 1st anniversary is most often celebrated with a sentimental gift between spouses, not a major statement piece.
