A Boston couple received a wonderful surprise from a stranger that has lifted their spirits after having to postpone their wedding.

Akilah Daniels and her fiancé Devon Vincent were forced to postpone their upcoming wedding due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. They sent out emails to inform all of their wedding guests of the change in plans. However, an accidental typo led to a stranger receiving the message and actually reaching back out to the couple with a sweet message.

In a Facebook post, Daniels explains: “Wow! Life really does happen in mysterious ways as this random good samaritan stated well in their email. Unfortunately, we have to postpone our wedding until later in the year due to Covid-19, so I am in the process of sending virtual updates to all of our guests. One of my guests had a typo in their email address and it was sent to the incorrect person, Christine.

“This wonderful person not only contacted me to let me know that it was sent to the incorrect sender, but ALSO purchased something off our registry as a good will gesture! I am so utterly touched! She connected with me because she is in the process of planning a wedding and it has been impacted by Covid as well. This is a small beam of light on such an unfortunate series of events! I wish Christine much success in her upcoming wedding! Thank you again!”

Christine gifted the couple with a marble and brass cake stand from their registry. Along with the gift came this message: “Life works in mysterious ways. Sometimes gifts can come from unexpected places! It’s not much, but I hope you use it well!”
