"EVERETT, Wash. - A young woman decided to call off her wedding 12 days before the event and her parents knew they’d be stuck with the bill, so they decided to have a party anyway and invited the homeless.
Residents of the Interfaith Family Shelter, housed in a former convent across from Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church where the wedding had been scheduled, attended the bash thrown by Katie Hosking, 22, a medical assistant at the Everett Clinic, and her parents, Bill and Susan Hosking of Lake Stevens.
They had a DJ and really good music. It was a warm, friendly atmosphere. The food was delicious. It was a nice break with people not worrying about anything for one night,” shelter manager Carol Oliva said. “Toward the end of the evening, they packed up all the leftover food and we got to bring it back to the shelter.”

More Jaded crap. When are you going to learn that this stuff doesn't sell?
BTW, This goes as a 'good point' in my book towards Catholics I think it's very resourcefull

Holy cows...barrel of laughs, aren't you, Rsmith? You must just be so much fun to hang around with.
And before you brand me a righty, I'm left...very left...Socialist left. You're not doing anyone any favours with your rants.

Wow Rsmith, way to turn a completely unrelated topic into another Bush-hating thread...way to go.
Your family must lock you up in the woodshed at night because you'd keep everyone up with your senseless rambling...or do you just come here to drop your trash off?

Well, I must say that what this girl did is remarkable and very very thoughtful. There need to be more people who care about those who are less fortunate and help them out. We are blessed with more than we know what to do with, why not share it with those who don't have anything????? My respects for her and her family.
As for all the bashing against Rsmith....the guy has a point. This story didn't make headlines because it is too "nice". It wouldn't keep you glued to the TV night after night....ie as the Aruba case does for some people. As for the comment about covering up what is going on in Iraq....I don't think some people need good or bad stories to cover what is going on because they are blind to begin with when it comes to ANYTHING related to that situation.

Several years ago out in Long Island, NY area I believe, a woman who's cad of a was to be her husband got cold feet and called off the wedding too late to get out of the catering arangements, still held the recepetion (without a bar) but instead inviting a number of women and their children living in emergency housing for abused women.
