SooToday.com received a note and the photo above from Rob and Renee Connolly, a generous couple that surprised friends and family by getting married at their recent stag and doe.
The surprise didn't stop there as the newlyweds announced that all the money raised from their stage and doe would be donated to the Soup Kitchen Community Centre.
"We hope to inspire people and start a trend to donate some of the money that has been raised at these events," the couple wrote to us. "Even if it is $100, it would really help."
A news release issued by the Soup Kitchen Community Centre follows.
