Spo-Can, Washington

January 8, 2010

Like most engaged couples, Andrea Parrish and Peter Geyer, have lots of planning to do in preparation for their July wedding.  But unlike most couples, they have the added burdoun of collecting nearly half a million aluminum cans (approximately 5 tons) to fund the wedding!   The idea was born at one o’clock in the morning and grew so strong that Andrea could not shake it – saving the planet AND paying for their wedding.  You might think that this great number of cans would allow for a wedding at the Ritz but earning roughly thirty seven cents per pound, they expect to net only $4,000 to $5,000.  Enough they believe for a potluck wedding with “DIY decorations”, home brewed beer, and “sword-fighting battle”.

One o’clock in the morning is when it all began
The idea to recycle and fund their nuptial plan
To raise the needed funds
They must collect five tons
I guess their wedding mantra is – Yes we CAN!
