Quriky World ... No wedded bliss but homeless get slap-up meal

USA: After a California couple called off their wedding, the bride-to-be’s family decided to turn the $35,000 (€31,000) extravagant event into a feast for the homeless.

The bride’s mother, Kari Duane, said that rather than cancel the reception, they invited Sacramento’s homeless for a meal at the Citizen Hotel, one of the city’s finest venues.

Duane said her 27-year-old daughter called earlier in the week to tell her she and her fiance had decided not to go through with the wedding. Soon after, the family decided to share the non-refundable event with the less fortunate.
