A woman who learned six weeks before her wedding that her
fiancé was cheating on her is turning her would-be reception
into a charity benefit.
"I'm really just trying to turn it around and make something
positive out of it," said Kyle Paxman.
Paxman, 29, had planned to celebrate her nuptials at the
Basin Harbor Club on Lake Champlain on Saturday. When she
found out about her fiancé, she called off the 180-guest
wedding and the four-year relationship.
She and her mother canceled the band, photographer and
florist, but learned they would not be reimbursed for the
reception and block of rooms they had reserved. So they
turned the reception into a benefit for the Vermont Children's
Aid Society and CARE USA, an international relief organization
that aims to combat poverty by empowering women.
They sent out invitations to 125 women for drinks and a
gourmet four-course dinner. In exchange, they hope the guests
will make donations to the charities.
Good for her to take a very bad situation and turn it into something just wonderful! Kudos!
