Thank you for taking the time to visit our wedding JustGiving page, and to donating to our chosen charity Panthera which does a wonderful job in preserving populations of wild cats and the eco systems they live in across the world. Big cats are unique umbrella species and by supporting to preserve them, you are helping a multitude of both other wildlife, and local people who are dependent on their local ecosystems to earn a living.

As many of you know we met on holiday in Botswana in October 2012 through a mutual love of Africa, its wonderful wildlife, ecosystems and people. We have been very fortunate to travel far and wide to see some of these big cats living in their natural environment (see some of our pictures below), and want to give something back to support the preservation of these beautiful animals for future generations to enjoy.

Without these big cats, we would not have met, and we would not be celebrating such a special day together on 9th September 2017. So we are very grateful for all your donations and support and cannot wait to see you in September!
