How to address a Reverend in a TY note?

One of my husband's bosses attended the wedding without her husband, who is a Reverand. However, we want to address the thank you note to both of them and couldn't figure out how to do it. We call his boss by her first name, 'Jane'.

So what do we write? 'Dear John and Jane; Dear Reverend John and Jane, or something else?' We've never met her husband, so we're not on familiar terms with him at all. TIA!

Dear Reverand John and Jane sounds appropriate. We invited a Deacon to our wedding and we put, Dear Deacon John and Jane.

I wouldn't write Reverand in the card. On the address, yes, but I wouldn't greet them with Dear Reverand John and Jane. Sounds weird IMO and he's not your Reverand. I'd just write Dear Jane and John. On the address, Reverand John and Jane Smith.
