But Yiru wasn't getting married, and she didn't know a single one of them.
Yiru Sun had grown up poor in China before studying in America and winning a full scholarship to obtain her PhD in electrical engineering at Princeton. Now the Corporate Vice President at New York Life Insurance, she had canceled her wedding two months ago after she refused to sign the proposed prenuptial agreement.
But instead of canceling the reception - which she put down a nonrefundable $8,000 deposit for - at the luxurious Harold Pratt House in the Upper East Side, Yiru decided she would find a group of children and families in need to attend instead.
And so the wedding day turned into a pre-Mother's Day luncheon, with Yiru joining forces with the Salvation Army and Inwood House to find the guests for the special day.50%, more @ Source (with lots of pictures): [ link to www.dailymail.co.uk] Source 2: [ link to nypost.com] |
