139 0 Comment 7 Turkish Couple Throws Epic Wedding Feast For Syrian Refugees - twiceblessed9 - 08-05-2015
Traditional Turkish weddings are three-day affairs, and end with a lavish dinner for friends and family. The groom's father, Ali, was the first to think that money raised for the wedding would be better spent helping their less-fortunate neighbors.
"We thought that on such a happy day, we would share the wedding party with our Syrian brothers and sisters," he told local media.
"It was such a wonderful experience," the bride said. "I’m happy that we had the opportunity to share our wedding meal with the people who are in real need."
"Seeing the happiness in the eyes of the Syrian refugee children is just priceless," said the groom. "We started our journey to happiness with making others happy and that’s a great feeling."
Even better, the groom said his friends started talking about doing the same thing at their weddings. Let's hope this is the start of an altruistic trend.
