17 Jul Woman Donates Her $30,000 Cancelled Wedding Reception To Homeless

A wedding reception is usually the most enjoyable part of the whole ceremony; it’s certainly the part that I most look forward to. By then, the couple will have exchanged their vows, shared a tender kiss, and signed the register together. All the speeches have been made, the photographs snapped, and the best man will have thoroughly embarrassed the groom.

It’s time to cut the cake, turn the music up and celebrate. I can remember fondly the last wedding I was privileged enough to attend, when I danced like a loon, drank my body weight in wine, and made numerous toasts to the happy couple.

For many people, the reception is one of the highlights, but it doesn’t come cheap, especially when your average venue can charge approximately $25 per head. It’s enough to make you have second thoughts about having second thoughts. I often wonder how often people feel financially obligated to get hitched, even if they’re having grave doubts, and what would you do if you were forced to give it all up and forgo what’s ostensibly meant to be the happiest day of your life?

Recently Sarah Cummins, a 25-year-old pharmacist, was forced to give up her dream wedding after cancelling her plans. Cummins had been engaged to fiancé Logan Araujo, and the couple had booked a non-refundable wedding reception at the glitzy Ritz Charles in Carmel, Indiana. But rather than wallow in self-pity, Sarah decided to turn her wedding around and transfigure it into an act of stunning charity.
