Entry #2

I, Jovie feel immense pleasure in raising a toast for my Best Friend Mary as she crosses the threshold of her childhood into a happy married life. Time flies and what it leaves with us is just memories. Mary has been a true friend sharing so many of her life's adventures with me.Mary with her scarlet cheeks told me her fairy tale of how she had gone for an equestrian event and as she pushed through the crowd to take a better peek she stumbled and literally "fell in love" straight into the camera man's arms, John. She knew he was her soulmate who was destined to not just catch her in her fall but to lead her into a whole new world of chocolates, roses and love. I must say John you are a lucky man who will have each day full of surprises with our darling Mary. By the way this class topper will give you a run for perfection with her organized ways!! The time I have spent with John also tells me that Mary is lucky to have met a gentleman who poses great strength of character and a wisdom that will steady her as she walks into a new role of being his wife. John I also wish to thank you for your support in helping me settle down in your city in my new job because you were a big support even though you had just met me. Mary I know we will have to bury our little girl secrets under our treehouse in your back yard, but take John as your new best friend and share your secrets with him in your new house and decorate it with your sincere love and happiness. I wish I'm back again on this very date to raise a toast on your 50th Wedding Anniversary too. So lets raise our glasses and bless this beautiful couple who are so totally in love with each other, in the words of Kahlil Jibran "Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.” Cheers.
