Quinn Duane was meant to be enjoying her big day with 120 invited guests. But after the groom got cold feet, she generously gave the city’s homeless an unforgettable feast instead. Check out the story and photos below!
27-year-old Quinn was all set to marry her boyfriend of four years in a dream $35,000 ceremony at Sacramento’s four-star hotel. But her fiance had called it off.
With the reception already paid for, Quinn and her mother Kari decided not to cancel, but, instead, to host a free dinner for those who needed it most.
“When I found out on Monday that the wedding would not be taking place, it just seemed like, of course, this would be something that we would do to give back,” mom Kari Duane told.
She asked local homeless shelters for help advertising the dinner and watched as families, from children to grandparents, tucked into the three-course meal which included appetisers, salads, gnocchi, salmon and steak. Around 90 people were able to eat for free.
Rashad Abdullah, who came with his wife Erika and five children said: “When you’re going through a hard time and a struggle, for you to get out to do something different with your family, it was really a blessing.”
Included in the non-refundable wedding costs was the couple’s honeymoon to Belize. So mum and daughter flew out for to enjoy some much-needed rest and relaxation together.

Wow, that's so thoughtful of both mum and daughter,God bless them. Topics like this give happiness and it passes a message.

I really like that they gave that food to the poor and needy. God will bless her with more riches and a good faithful husband. So thoughtful of them

If na naija...na the family and friends go dey struggle for the food, you go see diff nylon and orisirisi cooler trust Yoruba for that.

May the Lord heal her soul.

Let me comment. I haf seen that this topic has potential to make front page.

If the man is responsible, he should make effort to refund their expenses, since he was the one that called off the wedding.

lol you nailed it

Very funny indeed. i would only be convinced if the reception was paid for by her. if it was the mans money then that was just her own way of getting back at the man.

Then what stops her from doing this kind of charity regularly?

Awesome. May God give her a better man.

Whatever made the man to call off Sha. May God also give him the lady he would stay with.

This to me is the real example of the saying "when life gives you limes, make lemonades out of it"


May God bless her real good for her kind heart and send her a good man that will stay.......

'Blood would reign' would be one of the utterances of one of the relatives if twas a nig setting. Watahway2go
