Epic Couple of the Month

There are so many people out there getting married, so many amazing couples. So I've decided to showcase some of those couples. Every month I will make a post featuring a couple that I think meets Epic standards.

Epic Couple of the Month


This month that couple reigns from the west coast..Spokane, Washington! Very far from the Jersey Shore but with May being Eco-Event month here at Epic Events & Designs, they really exemplify what it's all about.



Pete and Andrea started off on the right foot with Mother Earth when planning their special day,they're having a *community-based wedding. The decorations will be all DIY, they're having activities, homemade beer, etc. But wait, they took it even a step further...prepare yourself..they're paying for their wedding with aluminum cans! Yep that's right they are taking cans, bringing them to recycling centers, and using that money for their wedding. Talk about going above and beyond for our planet! They've completely blown my mind. Inspiration of epic proportions in my opinion.

They plan on getting married July 31st, just 7 months after coming up with their "mission" to recycle 400,000 aluminum cans. For the record, that's 5 tons of aluminum!! So far they're reached 86% of their goal. Not an easy job!

Read more about their story . They really are so inspirational! And of course if you live in the Spokane area help the cause..Pete & Andrea will pick up your recyclables! And for those of you who live no where near there, hopefully you live somewhere that allows you to do something similar to this. I know in places like New Jersey 400,000 recycled cans probably won't pay for your whole wedding, but it could probably cover some of your costs! Put on your thinking caps readers, try to come up with other ways to recycle and fund your wedding.







*For those of you like me who are scratching your head wondering what the heck a community-based wedding is, I'm making a post tomorrow to shed some light on it :)
