Cassie
Warren and Jesse Jones will always have a great story to tell their kids about the
kindness of strangers and how one stranger in particular made their wedding
planning much sweeter.
A
few weeks ago, as Warren was addressing wedding invitations for her upcoming
wedding, she mistakenly used an old address for her aunt and uncle in nearby
Eugene, Oregon. But when a stranger received the misaddressed mail, she didn't
just throw it in the garbage like many people would have done. Instead, she
returned the invitation, along with a sweet note and $20 as a wedding present.
The
sender also wrote "Live long and prosper" on the corner of the
card—words from "Star Trek", probably because the young couple's
wedding invitation shows Jesse holding a light knife from "Star Wars"
and Cassie holding a wand (魔杖) in a nod to the "Harry
Potter" books.
The
generous stranger also included $20, probably as a little gift for the wedding.
The young couple put the money to good use by going out to dinner with a friend
who wouldn't be able to attend the wedding.
Warren
said that she was at first confused by the returned wedding invitation. "But
after I saw the note, I was just surprised and blessed that she/he would do
that for a stranger," Warren said. "Jesse was confused at first,
too—he wondered why someone had sent us money, then I read the message to him,
and he was shocked and grateful."
Warren
and Jones still don't know the name of the kind stranger, but Warren sent a
thankyou note to the same address to let the sender know how much her/his
generosity was appreciated. The young couple plan to marry in June and thanks
to the kindness of a stranger, their marriage is already off to a sweet start.
