    Background: Mr. LK's parents are both deceased. He has a favorite picture of them from when they were young and healthy that is in our family room. I've had that photo converted into a bouttoniere charm that he can wear inside his tux. The charm is my small gift to him on our wedding day, so I can't ask him for his thoughts on my question. the absence of his parents has been tough during wedding planning, and he misses them immensely.  

    Question: I can have up to 5 words engraved on the back of the charm. Here are some options I came up with:

    1. Leave it blank; the picture speaks for itself
    2. "Mom and Dad"
    3. "Always in your heart"
    4. "Memories live forever"
    5. "In loving memory"

    I just don't know. I am open to other ideas, too. What would you do?

    My mom passed away so I'm thinking about getting something like this charm for my bouquet.  I think "Always in your heart" is beautiful.  In loving memory just sounds too much like funeral condolences.

    This is such a great idea. He is going to love it. I like "Always in your heart." or "Memories live forever."

    Thanks for the input. I am leaning towards "Always in your heart"
