Well what do you say? I still can’t figure out the words to explain an event like this. The questions have been pouring in… “What happened?” “Is it true?” “What’s her name?” “Are you still in South Africa?”

Her name is Wendy Wylie. Wendy grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa. Her parents are still married and her family is a great group of people. She has two brothers—Martin Wylie who is working in Phoenix, Arizona and Justin Wylie—studying in Rome. Her father, Duncan and Her mother Heibi (like baby with an ‘H’) live here in Knsyna.

Wendy is 30 years old and has had a great many experiences. She lived in Nashville, Tennessee for a year and half and she worked as a television producer in Johannesburg for a few years before she moved to Knysna. Currently she is an operations manager for a local jewelry distributor. We met a year ago through a great friend and a former professor of mine Don Austin and his wife Maria.

The Wedding date is September 15, 2007. Wasting no time, so far the families are scheduling flights coming in from three different continents and visitors from several countries. We’re looking forward to it all and so far it has been a great adventure.

We will be visiting the states in February 2008. This will work the best as the tourist season doesn’t allow for much flexibility here and that seems to be a quiet time of the year when we can afford to get away. We have the wedding date set for South Africa; however the date for the states hasn’t been really looked at.

We’ll send invitations and hope to see you then.

I know all the facts are dry and without any good details but trust me, after trying to write just this brief ‘overview’ its better to talk on the phone. I can go on and on if you give me a chance to talk it about it all…
