Your presence is the best present. We know South Africa is a long way and flights are expensive, so please do not feel required to contribute anything. But for those who still want to give us a gift, we are planning to buy a nice piece of art from one of Janine’s friends and favorite artists. Any and all funds will go towards the purchase of said artwork for our Austin home.

After a lot of thought, we decided our favorite gift would be hearing from each of you. We’d love if each of you would write a letter sharing some things you appreciate about us, things you see in us as a couple, and/or advice for us as we begin this chapter of our lives as a married couple.
