Help with an anniversary gift?

[tacocat]

So I just found the reading we had my grandaddy and FIL do at our wedding and think I would like to get something for B with it on it.

My grandaddy read it in english and then FIL read the same thing in german. I thought it would be nice to get something for B for our 5 year with both of them on it. 

Should I just frame them? I would like something different but it is kind of long.

I get a little irrational about this as they are both gone so please forgive  


Reading:

These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever. These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future. These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch, will comfort you like no other. These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief fills your mind. These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow, and as in today, tears of joy. These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children, the hands that will help you to hold your family as one. These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it. And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch

That's super sweet!

5 years is the wood anniversary, if you guys do that. You could get a pretty frame or something to put it in?

Or something like this? aspecialgift.com/subcat.php?pcat=wooden-message-plaque

I like UW's idea of having it engraved on a wooden plaque. Alternately...you could do a pretty print out in German, maybe get someone off Etsy to do a hand calligraphed version, and then have a wood frame engraved with the English version? That would be pretty cool.
