Today’s happy news is about turning something unfortunate into something unforgettable.
With just days to go before her wedding a San Francisco bride was forced to call off her wedding, and not only did she face an emotional choice, there was a practical one as well: what to do about the reception.
The $15,000 event was already paid for, and it was too close to the date to request a refund. She donated the entire event to a San Jose-based nonprofit, Parents Helping Parents.
PHP supports families with children living with disabilities and had once provided help to the bride's family.
The charity quickly spread the word among their clients and soon had 100 RSVPs for the event which included not only dinner and dessert but a DJ, a photo booth, and a fireworks display.

The bride wanted to stay anonymous in this story.
