Just in time for their wedding day, the Wedding Cans couple has successfully achieved their goal to collect 400,000 cans to pay for their wedding – completed in just eight months! Who would’ve ever imagined collecting cans would pay for an entire wedding? Although some may call it crazy, this Spokane couple is proving that great success could be achieved through the craziest ideas.
Wedding cans ring great success
Peter Geyer and Andrea Parrish, in just 197 days, have already reached 100 percent of their goal with the help of the United Recycling Services, Alcoa Aluminum and the outpouring support from numerous individuals across the globe. The two will wed next month, July 31, at the Corbin Art Center in Spokane, Wash., where wedding cans will ring, not just for love, but for their outstanding accomplishment.
“The response to this project has been overwhelming,” said Andrea./p>
“The most exciting thing about the project is how numerous people have borrowed the idea,” Peter added. “We have other engaged couples recycling for their weddings and honeymoons — even a woman collecting cans to pay for her liver transplant.”
Peter and Andrea will donate more than half of the proceeds of any additional cans they collect to nonprofit organizations Rim Country Land Institute and Doctors Without Borders, using only 40 percent for their honeymoon.
Wedding Cans story is a story to remember
The couple has suffered through numerous trials and challenges throughout their quest to collect five tons of aluminum cans to help pay for their summer wedding. Nevertheless, the two have remained true to their values, as well as that crazy idea that came to mind at around 1 o’clock one morning. In a time of excessive consumerism and outlandish wedding expenditures, Peter and Andrea are truly admired for their courageous efforts of dedicating probably the biggest event of their lives to saving the planet. Wishing you the very best and congratulations on your Wedding Cans success, Peter and Andrea!
