Wedding Cans – Recycle to pay for your wedding

This is our first post of 2010, and it’s been a crazy start to the year. After a fairly quiet December with not too much going on, 2010 has started with a huge bang, plenty of new businesses have already listed their services with us meaning we’re offering more and more options for the brides and grooms of Essex to plan their perfect wedding – and judging by our stats, there are an awful lot of people planning their weddings at the moment.

Perhaps there was a flurry of engagements in Essex over the Christmas period, if you got engaged then just complete the little form to join our mailing list so we can tell you about any special offers that our services have for 2010.

If you’re planning your wedding, and are daunted by the thought of saving up for your wedding budget, then consider something similar to this crazy couple from the States. Pete and Andrea are on a mission, to save up for their wedding that they are planning for July this year, but they are doing it slightly differently by collecting aluminium cans to claim the recycling refund that their state offers for each can.

Andrea Parrish, 25, and Peter Geyer, 29, from Washington, have already collected more than 18,000 cans which are currently sitting in their living room. The couple said: “Saving the environment and throwing a killer party… what could be better?”
Their target is 400,000 cans, and have accepted cans as gifts from well wishers – if they reach their target they will have collected around 5 tonnes of aliminum sitting in their house, an expect to earn around $3800 (£2375) for their efforts.

The pair have even set up their own website to help advertise their mission, so if you’re feeling generous, or just want to have a nose at such a great story, their website is www.weddingcans.com

I’m sure there are plenty of weird and wacky ways to save some money for your wedding day, so if you think you’ve heard of a better one then complete the form below and let us know.
