$35,000 wedding called off meals offered to homeless people

I'm sorry for the abandoned bride, but it was a lovely thing for her mother to do.
 
I wonder why the groom wanted to cancel the wedding. Was he not ready for marriage or he does not feel love for her? I think he was not ready to be responsible as a married husband to be. So he must have cold feet. But no one reason or comfort him that he will pull through his nervousness of getting married. He seem to want to give it up. All this preparation of getting married has gone through the floor.

But I am very happy that the bride's mother want to invited the homeless people to come and eat their meals. No food should go to waste. Also glad that mother and daughter will go on vacation which was suppose be for the jilted bride and the groom who quit the wedding. That also are not going to waste, too. I feel sorry for the jilted bride. :(
 
The groom maybe total Arse leaving her up the aisle,I do hope he paid half towards reception good thing the bride did what she did she came out the better person even better if he paid the lot
 
It could be that the groom discovered some information about the bride and did right thing by not following through with plans.

Who knows and it is none of our business.

The nice thing is what Bride's mother did instead of throwing it all away.

It said right in the transcript that the groom got cold feet, we have no idea why the groom backed out , the main thing is that bride parents were kind enough to feed homeless people a meal . I really feel bad for the bride . I had a friend and her step daughter was getting married and the bride's mother called the groom's mother a couple days before the wedding and found out the groom was already married !

Probably because there was a lot of money involved or because it is a good story that came out from a bad one. We need a break from the news about the campaign! lol
 
That was a beautiful gesture...but I can't help thinking how insane it is couples throw that much at a wedding. There's a lot to be said about keeping it small and simple. It's about the day, not the cash and spending more money doesn't make it more special.

Very glad to read the bride and her family were able to rise above the sad occasion and remember what was more important.

I agree that it's a lot of money , but we don't know the history of the bride family they could had been through a lot of hardship in the pass or had lost a child . They could of had the huge wedding to try and put the past behind them. My dad spend his life trying to put his past behind him.
 
I've seen other stories where when a wedding falls through the reception food is donated to the homeless. Not the first time nor the last. It's definitely a nice thing to do (I'd be doing it without the media attention though...).

As for cost- could be 'just because'- getting married is a big celebration- some want the works some want small. Not quite sure I understand how throwing a big wedding would be an attempt at putting the loss of a child behind them but...whatever.

Definitely can believe the cost. A friend of mine got married...last year and even with the SMALL (and non fancy) wedding they still struggled to pay for it.

We don't know how they happened to get the media attention. Did they ask for it or did a reporter happen to get wind of it some other way? Another possibility is someone from the hotel calling a reporter.
 
There is a lot of stories like this on the news. There is nothing wrong in reminding the public that we have a lot of homeless people and a lot of them are children. And the homeless crisis most certainly is news !

Good point. We're getting a lot of dumb posts by some posters who can't find anything else to post about. But yes, I'm glad they contributed the money to a worthwhile cause.
