Word Art Help, please

[KimberlyW]

This is my first post and upload, so please forgive if I do something wrong or place it in the wrong area.
The layout which I'm going to attempt to attach is a 2-page spread from our wedding album which I'm working on. I want to put some word art in the bottom left quadrant with the words, "This is the hour I've waited for..."
I'm not good with word art at all, so any suggestions for positioning or font would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Kimberly

Your album looks lovely! Send an email to Tina - she is our resident WA guru :)

Try using a plain font such as Times or Century Gothic for "This is the hour I've" and "for", then use a pretty font like Edwardian Script for Waited. Make it large and the other words smaller. This is the hour I've at the top WAITED nice and big, then for below it.

Hope that makes sense. Lovely layout.

Thanks for the input. I've seen lots of word art done so beautifully here but I can never quite get it right. I've used your suggestions and I'll attach the outcome here. I think it looks pretty good.
Thanks again!

Kimberly, it looks really nice! I have a couple suggestions add three dots after for...

and pump up the size a little. It's on the smallish size. Your design looks great tho! Nice work!

Wow, I'm impressed. The text really makes that layout, doesn't it? I agree with Tina's suggestions, but just what you've got presented so far really makes a change from the first to the second. So much more meaningful!

beautiful photos and layout!
The only cc is make the words bigger - great job on the word art!

Thanks for the help and kind words. I took the suggestions of making the text larger and adding the "dot dot dot". It looks really nice. Amazing what a few tweaks here and there can do!

Just a quick word on this layout. The minister is my grandfather. He's performed ceremonies for all of his decendants of marrying age except one. We gave him complete control over the ceremony wording except our vows which we wrote and said ourselves. When he started the ceremony by saying, "The Hawaaian Wedding Song begins with the phrase, This is the hour I've waited for," I had to bite my lip to keep it together. It really summed up the way myself and husband felt at that moment.

Thanks again for your comments and help.

Kimberly, that's lovely. I do hope you journal all that in your wedding album somewhere! :)
