A Washington couple is planning to pay for their July 31 wedding with aluminum cans. The couple is planning to recycle 400,000 cans to help pay for their wedding, which they budgeted to $3,800. They have collected 20,000 cans so far, and are asking for help via their website.
“We don’t want anything huge or extravagant… really,” the couple explain on their website. “We’re planning a potluck, DIY decorations, and getting the help from friends and family for flowers, pictures, the sword-fighting battle, home brew beer, even the cake.”
The couple is asking for people to help out by sending them their used aluminum cans. People have donated 27,727 cans to the couple so far.
Here’s to ingenuity! I think this is so awesome. I tweeted it BTW. Maybe they’ll get more cans than they bargained for. What a great story to tell future generations. Love it!
Wish all couples are as creative and as environmental friendly as you guys. Wishing you all the best and hope you can get all the aluminum cans that you can get.
surely they’ll need 400,020 cans? they have to hang some off the wedding car
great story good luck to them!
