What Inspires Me: Books #2

I love seeing books at a wedding, especially if the venue speaks to books or books are part of the couple's story. Imagine a wedding held in a library or a study. Think of high school sweethearts who met for the first time in the library.

Books remind me of my mother and my father. When I was growing up, my dad would read to my mom. He also read to us. The four of us would gather round him on the couch and hear tales of Alice and a white rabbit. Of a Hobbit.

There's so many ways books can be incorporated into a wedding. With the invitations.

Did you have books at your wedding? How did you feature them?
