W: A heartbroken girl has cancelled her wedding, but instead of throwing away all the food, she has kept the bookings for the reception and invited homeless families to attend. Sarah Cummings, a 25-year-old girl who lives in Indiana had been planning her “dream” $30,000 wedding for nearly 2 years, saving and working overtime to make it a reality. Though Ms. Cummings preferred not to say why she called off the wedding, she told the local newspaper that she was very sad to make the decision. “I told everyone it was cancelled and I cried a lot, and then I started feeling really sick about just throwing away all the food I ordered for the reception.” Working with the Ritz Charles Hotel’s event planner, Ms. Cummings rearranged the tables at the reception, so there was no head table for the couple and cake tables. However, she still wanted to serve the wedding cake to guests. Ms. Cummings rang up the local homeless shelters to invite residents to the party.

Cheryl Herzog, a worker in Dayspring Center Shelter, said she “was so touched that Sarah had taken a painful experience and turned it into a joyful one for families in need.”
