I'm no expert, I'm just starting too...but I think I've read that you should get rid of the construction paper if at all possible. Use some acid-free, lignin-free, archival card stock instead.

Here you go try this, I wrote it for you: Several years ago, with a daughter you both were blessed. And there were many times, that your patience she did test. But together you loved her, and showed her right from wrong, Knowing the whole time, to another man she would one day belong, It was through you, she learned the gentleness of a touch, That true love meant to give of one's self, without expecting much. That the love of ones family, were the things that matter most. And it is for these things, that I offer you this toast. Thank you for my wife, your daughter I hold so dear, I know without you both, she would not be the one beside me here. For she is made up of the quailities, she was taught from both of you, Every single part of her, are special little parts of you. If you had not tried so hard, to show her a good and decent life, She would not be here beside me, I would have chose another for my wife. So everyday I have her, I Thank God for both of you, And I promise to do my best for her, as my love for her is true. I hope that is something close to what you were looking for. Love Penny

Penny, My dad died a few years before my wedding as well and 15 minutes after reading your poem I am still crying. He was my best friend and i miss him dearly. When i married, i chose a church that had this triangle window high up almost in the rafters at the front of the church. No one could understand why i picked this particular church it was small and old, i finally the day of the wedding revealed to my closest family and friends that it was so my daddy could see me nice and clear. I too would love to use this poem in my wedding album. It takes a big heart for a person to share their words, talent and ability so freely. As you can tell everyone thanks u greatly? Do u have any anniversary poems....my mom in law is standing over my shoudler asking me if u do ...she has to come up with something to say at her parents 50th? :) Thanks again
