A California woman had to cancel her wedding — but she didn’t let her reception go to waste!
Just two weeks before her wedding, which would have been on Saturday, the bride learned something about her fiancé that led her to call off their nuptials,NBC Bay Areareported.
With the ceremony canceled, there was just more worry — the nonrefundable $15,000 wedding reception.
The bride, who did not want the party to go to waste, decided that somebody should still get to experience it.
As a solution, she donated the celebration toParents Helping Parents(PHP), a San Jose-based nonprofit that provides support to children and adults with special needs, as well as their families.
“I’ve never heard of anyone ever calling a nonprofit and saying, ‘We want to donate a $15,000 party in two weeks to you,’” Daane told NBC Bay Area.
“This just doesn’t happen,” she said. “I don’t expect in my career to ever see this again.”

In everything from formalwear to festive sweaters, the guests danced to the “Cha Cha Slide,” snapped pics in a photo booth and even enjoyed a fireworks display.
Daane said she was “just thrilled” to “have an event for families,” and one guest, Liz Schwartz, who attended with her daughter, echoed this sentiment to NBC Bay Area.
“It’s wonderful to be included and to have this celebration of who our community is,” Schwartz said.
