Here's One Way To Raise Money For Your Wedding

The happy coupleWell, here’s one way to pay for your wedding: Collect a ton of aluminium cans. A couple in Spokane are paying for their July 31 wedding with the proceeds from the 400,000 cans that they’ve turned in for recycling.

So just how much did they make? $3,800. OK, so that’s not a ton of money and collecting the cans turned into a bit of a community effort but still, it’s a cute story.

The couple also have a website if you want to find out a bit more about them and how they are keeping their wedding costs down.

If you wanted to do this in Ontario I guess you’d want to collect alcohol bottles. I must admit that there have been a few times where, upon seeing the large pile of bottles sitting in my building’s recycling room, I have thought about bagging them up and taking them over to the Beer Store for the deposits.
