A
Mother’s Blessing
Jim and Whitney Toboni, August
20, 2014
I have no idea how two
people know from the moment they meet
that they will always be
togetherHow did I know when I met David that he was the one?
How did Tim and Dawn know when their eyes locked?
I’m just delighted all of us ended up together
because the result is Jim and Whitney, and they are clearly in love
Theirs is a modern fairytale
Even when the two were far
apartWhitney studying in Bakersfield, Jim working in Napa
There was a bond from iphone to iphone
Did you see their adorable notes on facebook?
Tap, tap, tap, “I love ya foreva”
Tap, tap, tap, “In 13 hours I’ll pick you up
from the train station”─ 3 exclamation points, 4 hearts
Tap, tap, tap, kiss, kiss, kiss
Shoot a picture

Intangible ideas
That’s
what I believe inFate and magic
There is a will that created this event
A spell swirling in a tropic-scented breeze
Intensified by exotic cocktails
And the gaze of a lover’s eyes
Love is a powerful emotion
No matter how sappy and
sentimental it looksI will shed tears by the end of this toast
Jim, I’m so happy for you
Whitney, welcome to our family
Today is August 20th, 2014
I offer this toast with my tears
as a blessingCongratulations! I love you both!

Thank you, Laura. It was a proud moment. Their love is very special and I felt compelled to write about it.
An email from a friend:
Barb, Your "Mother's Blessing" poem is very touching; very lovely. How fortunate for Jimmy and Whitney to have this tribute to cherish and keep in their wedding book. Congratulations to you all! Love, Jackie
Thanks, Jackie. I wanted to give them something lasting that they could look back on.
Barbara, this is a perfect message for two people in love from a person who loves them both.
Thanks, Patsy. They are a very devote pair. It's been fun to watch them.
It made me feel as if I was there. Sorry I missed it
Thanks, Nancy. I know you were there in spirit. There are lots of pictures. You'll see soon.
Such a beautiful toast. I'll bet there were tears in many eyes!
Thanks for your comment, Amber. Most of the teary-eyed were moms, and I spotted a few teary-eyed dads, so gratifying!
