She didn’t want to see the venue and catering go to waste.
An Indiana woman decided to turn her $30,000 wedding reception into a dinner party for homeless families after she and her ex-fiance called off the celebration, The Indianapolis Star reports.
The report says Sarah Cummins and Logan Araujo were supposed to get married Saturday evening (July 15) at the Ritz Charles in Carmel, Ind., but called off the wedding for reasons the two are not sharing. Upset by the prospect of the venue and catered food going to waste, Cummins talked with Araujo and then worked with an event planner to contact nearby homeless shelters and invite residents to share a meal.
„I was so touched that Sarah had taken a painful experience and turned it into a joyful one for families in need, “ Cheryl Herzog, development director at Dayspring Center, one of the shelters contacted, told the Star. Cummins planned to attend the dinner, according to the report, and then travel with her mother to the Dominican Republic on what was supposed to be her honeymoon.
