*Nearly* Hannah Snyman

I'm so very much looking forward to being a Snyman, and to being Raoul's wife. Hardly anyone back here in the States will be able to pronounce our surname, or even Raoul's first name for that matter (though my immediate family has it mastered because I simply talk about him so much). I am trying to educate everyone else on it, but even with coaching they can't seem to get the pronunciation right. Everyone automatically thinks "Row-ool Snie-man". Even after several tries, the closest most people are getting sounds something like "Roll Snay-min". I'm just glad *I* can pronounce our names correctly. (Thought to be honest, Raoul did have to coach me a bit as well :-P)
