An anniversary sundial is a good idea, it is a clock that tells time using the sun. We got one for our wedding that sits indoors on the window sill and makes rainbows in the room when the sun shines. It was handmade just for us with a special date line that the time shadow follows on our anniversary day each year, and there is a mark on that line that the shadow touches at the actual moment of our ceremony. We’ve had it for several years and it works great – I think it is one of the best wedding or anniversary gifts that I have ever heard of!

Most of these links do not work. At least a dozen links didn’t work at all, and a few more went to a page but did not have the information that was supposed to be there. 🙁
Sorry about that! This is a super old post. I will work on updating it.
