The distance didn’t hinder their romance. Jenny and Justin stayed in touch by phone and e-mail as they zigzagged across the Middle East. Their paths first crossed in the remote sheep-herding village of al-Tuwani. The couple met last year while Jenny was studying Arabic in Jordan and Justin was serving in the West Bank with Christian Peacemaker Teams. “We also want our wedding to reflect our values, so including registry items to help other people, especially ones we care about in the Middle East, made sense.” We found and its honeymoon registry was so flexible that we could tailor it to fit our circumstances perfectly,” Jenny says.
“We were having a hard time deciding what kind of wedding registry to have since our lives have been split between continents. “We’ve seen how important they are and how the loss of even one animal can bring significant hardship to subsistence farmers who rely on their herd to support their families.”Ĭommitted to United Nations jobs in the Middle East, Justin and Jenny aren’t sure where “home” will be and weren’t interested in carting toasters and china from continent to continent. “Sheep and goats seemed appropriate,” Justin says. Why those gifts alongside requests for romantic dinners and spa treatments? Jenny, 24, and Justin, 27, met while visiting with shepherds in Palestine.
