Ok, so call me a last-minute-lucy, but I have it done! It's fairly simple to me. Maybe because I didn't stamp on it. LOL Anyways, take a look. It's in the RCS Challenges album. The poem is one DH wrote in 1996. He's not sure if he wrote it before or after he proposed. LOL I think he wrote it before, but anyways....the poem tells of how we came about to be a couple. It's really sweet. I doubt you can read it in the scan, so if you just really really REALLY want to know what it says, I'll post it. (Nope, I'm not proud of my hubby.) :-)

Oh I wish I could read the poem. hint hint. :) Very nice page. I love the way the colors highlight your dress in the picture.
Judy, SA
Ok, Ok....I'll post the poem. (Really had to twist my arm, huh? LOL)
Thanks Lynne. It was hard to find patterned paper to highlight the dress, but I found it! Actually, Dave found it. It was part of the paper pizza he sent me several weeks ago. I was proud of myself, too. Everything was already in my stash.
Thanks Judy. We're still in love. :-) (or at least I am! LOL) I just got thwaped for that comment. DH was right behind me and read that! Hmm...I think he's still in love, too. The patterned paper is hearts, but I don't know if you can tell on the layout.
Great job. Since everyone wants to read the poem, I'll be happy to add the words to your challenge page if you send them to me.
I'm working on it. I thought I had them saved, but if I did, they've dissappeared into the great unknown. So a-typing I go...again. Must save this time!
Lovely LO Deb and your patterned paper is exactly right to compliment your dress in the photograph.
How beautiful is that.....box of tissues this side of the Atlantic. What a memory to treasure.
Thanks Deb, I have added the poem to Deb's personal 2005 challenge page:

So now everyone can read it! It really is a beautiful tribute to Brad's love for you and the patience you showed in giving him the time to get to the same place your heart was at.
I'll read the poem but I am unable to acess the webpage just to view it! WAAAAAAAAAA
Kenda (having trouble seeing many of the links today.)
Okay, I went to read the poem, and was tickled that I could see the LO. Thanks alot! It's not okay to be teary at work!! The guys make fun of me!
Deb, that is so touching. I would hang onto that poem forever!!!
Kenda (off to wipe my eyes and blow my nose)
And I get to keep the treasure who wrote it, too! :-)
It didn't take him long, though...just a few weeks. :-) It really is a beautiful poem, though.
LOL I'm sorry Kenda! I guess I should have put out a Kleenex warning. Not only do I have the poem typed (and saved even!), I still have the original. Along with two more that he wrote for me. :-)
And when you think about it...the LO is a beautiful tribute of her love for Brad. Sandy
OH WOW Deb! Thank you so much for sharing!! That is just BEAUTIFUL! I'm wiping the tears this side! What a man to express his emotions like that! And how much he must love you! Hold on fast to him, me thinks there's not a lot of his kind made :)
Judy, SA
I agree with Judy, Deb. Both the layout and the poem are beautiful. I know you are proud of both the poem and its author.
Mel
Yes, he is an original. :-) He'll even cook and clean! LOL
