I'd switch the stats to get 14 CON, 16 INT, and 12 WIS, because you'll need more skill points if you want to be the face of the party. Or at least 14 INT, if you still want all that CON. Your saves will still be through the roof, and you're immune to a bunch of stuff, so those aren't quite as important anyway.
Paladins in Pathfinder use CHA for spellcasting, not WIS.
Aye, Wis is usually a dump skill for PF paladins. THey need Cha, have a high will save, and Cha to saves. they actually don't need Wis for anything.

Any suggestions for the first few FEATS?
Check out 'Battle Blessing' from 3.5, I think Complete Champion. It makes all your Paladin spells cast as swift actions.
If you want to dip Oracle, take the Legalistic curse. As a drawback, you get a penalty if you lie or break your word, but you're a Paladin so you shouldn't be lying anyway. You'll also get a +3 boost to social skills at Paladin 8/Oracle 1.
I would be tempted by a dip itno lore oracle but not for sidestep secret instead i'd take lore keeper to get charisma to knowledge skills.
I'd then assuming the 14 int use my 6 skill points to get 6 knowledge skills (arcana, dungeoneering, religion, local, nature and planes) netting a bonus of +9 in each of them (+1 rank +3 class skill +5 cha) +11 in planes because it's always nie for the party leader to know what he is talking about.
The fact you can then pick up other revalations as feats is just gravy.

As you're allowed 3.5 I strongly recommend getting hold of Complete Champion. There's a lot of good stuff in it but really it will be worth it just for Battle Blessing for casting ALL paladin spells as a swift action.
You could also take an oracle dip as suggested, likely into Lore Oracle and take Sidestep and Extra Revelation: Lore Keeper and then take Knowledge Devotion also from Complete Champion. As you'd have high knowledge check modifiers you'll get great extra to hit and damage against creatures you identify.
If we use any materials outside of the pathfinder main manuals he's requiring us to purchase that item so he can be shown "proof"... otherwise... we are forced to use Core Pathfinder rules.
What the heck is this? I understand that there are those occasional GMs that are uptight, but really? I don't understand people like this.
Apart from the already mentioned Battle Blessing (3.5 Complete Champion) and Unsanctioned Knowledge (PF Ultimate Magic), there's Sword of the Arcane Order (FR 3.5 Champions of Valor).
There's also DMM and the like but that way lies madness. (Significant investment in turn undead).
Does your DM not like DnDtools?
Bastard Swords and Greatswords are separate weapons.
i think you mean holy avengers, and they are always longswords unless you can convince your gm to change that.
i remember a 2nd ed AD&D spell that would permanently transfer magic from one item to another, but i'm not sure that exists in 3.0/3.5
Trade your spell like abilites for a bonus +2 to either str or cha, thats also in blood of angels. You turn out even more damage as the sword arm of your god then!
True my dm let us roll to see if get the 1/100 chance for two, but either way we get to pick.

You'd have to ask your GM if you can trade out your spell-like ability for a +2 to strength or charisma though. Technically you're meant to roll a d100 and can come up with crap like "can ripen fruit with a touch" or "can tell if someone is pregnant by standing within 10' of them"
You call instant fruit-ripening "crap"? Do you know how much money you could make with that? The second your tree produces the beginnings of apples, you start fondling and have an off-season harvest, selling the fruit for higher than normal prices (after all, who's competing when you're the only one with ripe apples?) and start over. Find enough people with the same ability and run an orchard together. You'll be rich!

Heck if you ripen the fruit fast enough in the season and prune the tree right you may even be able to pull off 2-3 harvests a season...who knows!

Sorry, I've been sick.
You have the makings of a murder character. Critical feats might be a good way to go, and you will be doing excessive damage. That said, there's not a whole lot of variety for a base Paladin using a 2 hander in melee. You could play an ACF but they all pretty much involve aura replacements and adjust the class to use a different kind of weapon or a different style of fighting. If you want to swing a greatsword, take the feats that make sense for swinging a greatsword.
One possible thing to consider would be taking the angelic blood racial feats to get wings, because ultimately they give you wing attacks, which against your smite target will also gain your CHA to attack and your level to damage. It's one of the few genuinely awesome ways to use secondary natural attacks to your advantage.
Hope that helps.
good start to a good build, do you have access to scion of humanity?
if so you have access to fast learner, which is pretty good
i recommend taking the trait extremely fashionable or 'prince' so you can get intimidate as a class skill and also get +1 to it and diplomacy, the 2 most important social stats
if 3.5 material is available look at battle blessing, and also ask about access to sword of the arcane order
i also recommend unsanctioned knowledge, and taking an oath, most likely vengeance because you as an aasimar have access to angel wings and can get a natural fly speed
build looks like:
traits) Extremely Fashionable (Intimidate), Other
lvl 1) Power Attack
lvl 3) Antagonize
lvl 5) Unsanctioned Knowledge
lvl 7) Battle Blessing
lvl 9) Angelic Blood
lvl 11) Angel Wings
lvl 13) Awesome Smite
do this and you will be the iconic aasimar paladin and i will link to this thread any time someone ever asks about playing a paladin ever again

also i would swap WIS and INT so you have the 14 for the prereq for unsanctioned, it is the best pathfinder feat for paladins
I f*cking hate the term "cheese".
Why don't people just say what they really mean?
"I don't like it, so it should not exist, and people who like it are doody heads".
Sorry about the off topic post, but isn't that basically what the term cheese means (sans the doody head part...well sometimes)? It's a lot quicker way of saying it and I was under the impression that it is basically what the term meant.
