My First Wedding Cake Please Help

I'm making a stacked cake with double layer square bottom, single layer square middle and double layer round top. They want to keep the top layer for their 1st anniversary. How do you take off the top layer with out messing up the middle layer? I do plan on putting a round cake board under it but won't it mess up the border and the next cake?
I've made a lot of wedding cakes and have had only a few brides and grooms save the top for one year in the freezer for their first anniversary (YUK!!! Have you ever eaten year-old cake?) But it is very hard to get the top layer off the cake without damaging the layer beneath it. My suggestion would be to decorate the top layer on it's own cake board/plate or whatever you plan to use. Then put another cake board/plate on the layer it will be sitting on. Decorate each cake as usual. Transport the cakes - do not put the top on until at the site. You should be able to slide a couple of long spatulas between the plates and lift the top cake back off when the cutting is ready to begin. There should be enough room to get the small cake off with both cakes relatively intact.
thank you very much. oh and i have eaten a year old cake that was frozen it wasn't bad at all.
