An anonymous woman in California turned the unthinkable into the unforgettable last month when, instead of cutting a cake and tossing a bouquet, she donated her wedding reception to charity.
"I was incredibly touched that a bride, facing an extremely stressful and difficult situation, was willing to look past her own pain and consider how to use the significant financial deposit for the wedding to bring joy to others," Maria Daane, executive director of Parents Helping Parents (PHP), the San Jose-based organization that received the donation, told Fox News Digital.
**SNIP**
But the venue and other rentals — totaling around $15,000 — were nonrefundable.
So the woman decided to turn what should have been her own happy memories into an unforgettable night for some special kids and their families.
PHP decided to use the already paid-for space to host "a party for people with disabilities 0 to 100."
It was named the "Ball for All" — and it offered food, music, dancing and a photo booth.
Daane said she got a phone call from the family of the bride two weeks before the event.

Dood. The first rule of fight club is...
Very thoughtful. 15k was just the non-refundable part, terrifying wedding costs!
15K is cheaper than a divorce.
Parents Helping Parents is a great organization. They helped me a lot when my disabled daughter was young.
As long as she's not a Libtard...
Or finding out you married a poofter.
Wow- I’ll marry myself for that kind of reception lol
My cousin married a gay fella- and soon after th3 marriage, like the next week or so, he hung himself- she found him. She knew he was gay though- guess she thought she could turn h8m hetero or something.
Since it’s California, I assume there’s a good chance that the “something she found out about her fiancée” was that he voted for Trump twice. :-P

The doctor called the test results are back make an appointment.
No shirts?
Good for her and I’m assuming that she can take advantage of this as a charitable donation on her taxes...
For whatever reason(s) why she ditched her wedding this was a very nice donation for those with disabilities. Hopefully the caterers provided a little more extra in service for the cause.
Why are there always people around for whom “joy” means being given something for free, which they never had to work for?
Choose the “something”:
A. Pickle sniffer
B. HIV/AIDS or other perv disease
C. Already married
D. Illegal alien invader
E. Transexual
F. Adam Schiff
G. All the above

That’s the weirdest thing I’ve read all week.
Cary Grant cultivated the false rumors he was gay because women would try to cure him.
I hope he decorated the place before he offed himself.
she was big into ‘helping the gay culture’ - super liberal-
that’s 25 really nice smart TVs
