As the COVID-19 pandemic continues across the world, people have learned the importance of lending a helping hand. This couple really wanted to make a difference, and donated their wedding food to a shelter. Not only that, they also spent their wedding day serving the food to those in need.
“Since we’d prepaid for the food, we could have had the wedding somewhere else and still invited everyone, but it didn’t make sense,” Melanie tells the Washington Post. “I turned to Tyler and said, ‘What would you think of donating the food instead?’ ”
Their only request was that, following their small ceremony, they could serve the food at the home themselves.
Melanie and Tyler tied the knot on August 15 in the bride’s grandparents’ backyard, with a dozen family members present. After the ceremony and still in their wedding attire, they made their way down to the shelter to serve their wedding meal, provide by food truck Betty’s Bomb-A** Burgers.
Maintaining social distancing and hygiene measures, the pair spent their wedding day serving food to those in need. And they wouldn’t have it any other way.
