I Like You

Greg and I chose our ceremony reading yesterday. You may have seen this used before, but I just fell in love with it when I read it.

Yes, it's from a children's book, but it's perfect.

We chose different sections that we liked to shorten it a bit.

Here it is: (our edited 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.

I Like You Because You Know Where I’m Ticklish And You Don’t Tickle Me There. Except Just a Little Tiny Bit Sometimes. But If You Do Then I Know Where to Tickle You Too.

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.

If I Pretend I am Drowning, You Pretend You Are Saving Me.

If I am Getting Ready to Pop a Paper Bag, Then You Are Getting Ready to Jump. That’s Because 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 Going Every Day.

I Like You Because If We Go Away Together And If We Are in Grand Central Station And If I Get Lost Then You Are the One That is Yelling For Me.

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 Think I A Going To Throw Up Then You Are Really Sorry. You Don’t Just Pretend You Are Busy Looking At the Birdies and All That. You Say Maybe It Was Something You Ate. You Say the Same Thing Happened to Me One Time, And the Same Thing Did.

If You Find Two Four-Leaf-Clovers You Give Me One. If I Find Four, I Give You Two. If We Only Find Three We Keep On Looking. Sometimes We Have Good Luck and Sometimes We Don’t.

If I Break My Arm And If You Break Your Arm Too, Then It Is Fun to Have a Broken Arm. I Tell You About Mine and You Tell Me About Yours. We Are Both Sorry.

I Like You Because I Don’t Why, But Everything That Happens Is Nicer With You. I Can’t Remember When I Didn’t Like You.

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. I Don’t Know Why.

I Guess I Don’t Know Why I Like You Really. Why Do I Like You? I Guess I Just Like You Because I Like You.
