My story

 

Thank you so much for helping us to celebrate our wedding.

When thinking of a wedding list, it didn't take us long to realise that we have all the possessions we need. So, instead of getting more 'stuff', we wanted to offer everyone the chance to join in doing something amazing.

As you will know, we both visited Borneo this year to work with orangutans. There is a real chance that these wonderful animals (97% human) will be driven extinct before our children reach their teenage years. That feels a heart-breaking prospect.

That's why we are asking for any wedding presents to be in the form of donations to this special fund we have set up. £1,000 is enough to release a rescued orangutan back to the wild. The money will be spent wisely by BOS. We know the organisation well, and trust it completely.

Thanks for supporting us in this unusual way.

With much love

Marjolein, Derek, Betty & Kes xxxx
