Wedding Cans Update - Peter and Andrea reach 5-ton goal

Just in time for their wedding day, the Wedding Cans couple has successfully achieved their goal to collect 400,000 cans to pay for their wedding – completed in just eight months! Who would have ever thought that collecting aluminum cans could pay for a whole entire wedding? Although some may call it crazy, this Spokane couple is proving that great success could be achieved through the craziest ideas.

Ringing success with wedding cans

With the help of the United Recycling Services, Alcoa Aluminum and the outpouring support from people across the world, Andrea Parrish and Peter Geyer have reached 100 percent of their goal in just 197 days. Geyer and Parrish will wed next month on July 31 at the Corbin Art Center in Spokane, Wash., where wedding cans will ring, not just for intimate love, but for their outstanding achievement.

“The response to this project has been overwhelming,” Andrea said./p>

“The most exciting thing about the project is how numerous people have borrowed the idea,” added Peter. “We have other engaged couples recycling for their weddings and honeymoons — even a woman collecting cans to pay for her liver transplant.”

Using only 40 percent for their honeymoon, Peter and Andrea plan to donate more than 50 percent of the proceeds of any additional cans they collect to nonprofits Rim Country Land Institute and Doctors Without Borders.

Wedding Cans is surely a story to remember

Although the couple has suffered through numerous challenges on their quest to collect five tons of aluminum cans to help fund their summer wedding, the two have remained loyal to their values, as well as the crazy idea that came to mind at 1 o’clock one morning. In an era of extreme consumerism and outlandish wedding costs, Peter and Andrea are truly admired for their fearless efforts of dedicated probably the biggest moment of their lives to saving our planet. Congratulations to Peter and Andrea on their Wedding Cans success!
