美國女子婚禮泡湯 乾脆宴請流浪人士吃婚宴

A "devastated" bride-to-be has cancelled her wedding, but instead of throwing away all the food, she has kept the bookings for the reception and invited homeless families to attend.

在取消婚禮後，一位“悲痛欲絕”的新娘沒有扔掉所有的食物，她保留了預訂的婚宴，並邀請無家可歸的人士來享用。

Sarah Cummings, 25, of Indiana had been planning her "dream" $30,000 wedding for nearly two years, saving and working overtime to make it a reality.

25歲的薩拉·卡明斯來自美國印第安納州，爲了這場花費了3萬美元的“夢中的婚禮”，她已準備了近2年，省吃儉用、加班加點，要將其實現。

Though Ms Cummings preferred not to say why she called off the nuptials, she told the Indianapolis Star newspaper, "it was really devastating to me. I called everyone, cancelled, apologised, cried, called vendors, cried some more, and then I started feeling really sick about just throwing away all the food I ordered for the reception."

儘管卡明斯不願透露她爲何要取消婚禮，但她在接受《印第安納波利斯星報》採訪時表示：“這對我來說是毀滅性的打擊。我打電話給所有親友，取消婚禮，道歉，大哭，打電話給供應商，再哭，然後我覺得如果把我訂的食物都扔了，我會感到非常不舒服。”

She was left with a non-refundable booking at the Ritz Charles hotel in Carmel, Indiana as well as a plated dinner for 170 guests.

她在印第安納州卡梅爾麗茲·查爾斯酒店的預訂，以及170位賓客參加的晚宴都不可退款。

Working with the hotel's event planner, Ms Cummings is rearranging the tables at the reception so there is no head table for the couple or gift and cake tables. But, she wanted to serve the wedding cake to guests.

在與酒店的活動策劃人溝通之後，卡明斯在接待處重新安排了桌位，只是沒有了給新人的貴賓席、禮物席以及蛋糕席。不過，她還是想將結婚蛋糕分享給客人們。

According to the Indianapolis Star bourbon-glazed meatballs, goat cheese and roasted garlic bruschetta, chicken breast with artichokes and Chardonnay cream sauce are also on the menu.

根據《印第安納波利斯星報》報道，菜單中還有波旁肉丸、山羊乳乾酪、意式蒜蓉烤麪包、洋薊雞胸肉、雪當利奶油醬等。

Ms Cummings rang up the local homeless shelters in Indianapolis and Noblesville to invite residents to the party.

此外，卡明斯還給印第安納波利斯和諾貝斯威當地的無家可歸者收容所打了電話，邀請他們來參加聚會。

Cheryl Herzog of the Dayspring Center shelter said she "was so touched that Sarah had taken a painful experience and turned it into a joyful one for families in need".

黎明中心庇護所的謝麗爾·赫爾佐格表示，她被卡明斯深深的感動了，她將一個如此痛苦的經歷轉變成了流浪漢們歡樂的體驗。”
