Hollywood Free Weddings
The manager of a homeless shelter in Hollywood has decided that he wants to celebrate love and share his facilities with the public by setting up free weddings for those who are not able to avoid a lavish ceremony.
The group, The Coalition of Service and Charity, that Sean Cononie works for has begun paying for weddings and helping with the organisation and planning. They are willing to help out anyone who is ‘poor’ and provide couples with their venue, flowers and even food. They help with the invites and contact other companies and individuals who are willing to donate other items such as the wedding cake. The group have even paid for a short honeymoon for one lucky couple.
Sean and his staff have helped out with six weddings over the past eighteen months. The couples include a man who only works part time while his bride was receiving disability insurance and even couples that originally met each other in the shelter.
Crystal Vogelsang was one such person who was helped out by the shelter. She was married at the Hollywood ArtsPark back in April and stated that finding a husband was not the reason why she went to the shelter in the first place; it just happened that she fell in love.
