neutral  Samuel Murray: I prefer your "aan jou te behoort" over Annabel's "joune te wees", but the verb "trou" needs the preposition "met" (otherwise it means "to preside over the marriage")

  -> Thanks Samuel! Agree with your proposed preposition - that was my intention as well. ;-)
neutral  Annabel Rautenbach: We must remember this is a love letter, not a work of literature.
