| Bride-to-be Sarah Cummings turned homeless volunteer and philanthropist |
One of the most touching stories of this year
came from Indiana, where a couple called off their $30,000 wedding a week
before their big day, which was supposed to be on July 15. However they were
stuck with a non-refundable reception for 170 people, and what did the bride
Sarah Cummins do? She invited the homeless from 4 local homeless shelters. They
feasted on a meal consisting of bourbon
meatballs, salmon, goat cheese, roasted garlic bruschetta and cake. The soirée
was held Saturday at the Ritz Charles event center in Carmel, Indiana. Moreover her generosity inspired a local man to
donate suits for the guests, and his tailor contributed a few more, while other
local business donated dresses and accessories.

The July dinner included
chicken, salmon and a wedding cake, and even a late night snack of pizza and
drinks. Sarah, a Purdue University pharmacy
student, made sure that a painful situation
turned into a positive experience. She
took a time of her life where she was really sad and kind of lost, and turned
it into such a teachable moment for people who are less fortunate. She now volunteers for a center for homeless
families in Indianapolis.
