A Toast to Joshua & Mary Lynn

 

My Toast to You

I feel inclined to tell you how the bride and groom met,

It was somewhat of a chance introduction, on the internet,

A LinkedIn profile appeared on the groom’s computer screen,

He was surprised by the most beautiful smile he had ever seen,

The photo of a young lady who had graduated from NC State,

Was a networking miracle, a twist of unexpected fate,

He stepped out of his comfort zone, because he was intrigued,

Even though he thought her to be out of his league,

He commented about her beautiful face,

And asked if he could meet her someplace,

Now when she received this unusual request,

She turned to her family for the answer that was best,

Everything within her said not to respond to this creepy guy,

But her family said, oh, why not give it a try?

Thus, the love story of Josh & Mary Lynn began,

It was all a part of God’s match-making plan,

Their first date was dinner, and she picked him up,

Now they have a home, a cat, and Sully, the pup,

They hike, they travel, and sometimes take a really long run,

But mostly they enjoy life and have so much fun,

In January 2022, Josh proposed to his bride,

Now they are walking this life side-by-side,

May they always be blessed to have found each other,

I am particularly fond of them, I am Josh’s mother,

Who knew LinkedIn was a dating site?

May their future always shine brighter than bright,

Please raise your glasses along with me,

And toast this couple who were meant-to-be.  

Congratulations!   Tammy Harvey 4/11/2023
