“I Like You” : Wedding Readings

 

Today, I wanted to share an image from a recent wedding along with a reading with a very personal touch from their ceremony.

The reading is from the book “I Like You” by Sandol Stoddard Warburg.

Edited/rearranged it a LITTLE bit- here’s the brides version:

 

I like you and I know why.

I like you because you are a good person to like.

I like you because when I tell you something special, you know it’s special

And you remember it a long, long time.

You say, Remember when you told me something special

And both of us remember

 

When I think something is important

you think it’s important too

We have good ideas

When I say something funny, you laugh

I think I’m funny and you think I’m funny too

Hah-hah!

 

You know how to be silly

That’s why I like you

Boy are you ever silly

I never met anybody sillier than me till I met you

I like you because you know when it’s time to stop being silly

Maybe day after tomorrow

Maybe never

 

You really like me

You really like me, don’t you

And I really like you back

And you like me back and I like you back

And that’s the way we keep on going every day

 

And if I get lost

Then you are the one that is yelling for me

Sometimes we have good luck, and sometimes we don’t

 

I like you because when I am feeling sad

You don’t always cheer me up right away

Sometimes it is better to be sad

You can’t stand the others being so googly and gaggly every single minute

You want to think about things

It takes time

 

I like you because if I am mad at you

Then you are mad at me too

It’s awful when the other person isn’t

They are so nice and hoo-hoo you could just about punch them in the nose

 

 

I like you because I don’t know why but

Everything that happens is nicer with you

I can’t remember when I didn’t like you

It must have been lonesome then

 

I like you because because . . . because

I forget why I like you but I do

So many reasons

 

On the 4th of July I like you because it’s the 4th of July

On the fifth of July, I like you too

Even if it was the 999th of July

Even if it was August

Even if it was way down at the bottom of November

Even if it was no place particular in January

I would go on choosing you

And you would go on choosing me

Over and over again

That’s how it would happen every time

 

Why do I like you

I guess I just like you

I guess I just like you because I like you.
