Talk about turning lemons into lemonade…
The following video tells the sad tale of a bride whose groom-to-be called off their wedding at the last second.
In response to this turn of events, Kari Duane was most concerned about her daughter’s feelings, of course. But she was also on the hook for a $ 35,000 wedding reception tab.
Instead of canceling or using the event space for some kind of family-and-friends gathering, however, Kari decided to give the homeless population of Sacramento a chance to dine at the posh Citizen Hotel.
And after just one individual walked in, Kari considered her decision to be the right one.
“I was thinking at that moment, if she’s the only person that comes tonight, this was worth it,” Duane told local news station KCRA.
As you can see in this report, though, many more people than that came by for the special occasion.
Pretty amazing, no?
