I Like You Wedding Reading
In July, I found this post by Ms. Candy Corn. She wrote about her ceremony reading—excerpts from Sandol Stoddard Warburg’s I Like You. By the end of the post, I was trying not to start boo-hooing. I thought the I Like You wedding reading was sweet & lovely, and fit Mr. S and me perfectly. I added the book to my laundry list of things to get.
I looked for the book everywhere. Nobody had heard of it, and I think they thought I was batnuts crazy, to be honest. Why would I want this little ol’ children’s book written in 1965" I’d end up blabbering on about how fabulous it was, how I couldn’t read through the excerpts I’d read without crying, and other crazy things. I was a woman in love. I had to have this book so I could start planning our I Like You wedding reading.
I finally got tired of being crazy to the salespeople at the different Borders, so I stopped being lazy and ordered it from Amazon. All $6.95 of it. It ended up being some of the best $6.95 I’ve spent. The entire book is even more lovely. I’d love to have the entire thing read, with maybe a few things cut for time.
Now, without further ado, here’re my favorite parts of the book, the parts we plan on using for our I Like You wedding reading.
