Congratulations to you both.
The wedding ceremony was excellent and very different. Having spent many years as a photographer and taken many weddings this would have been a very interesting one to photograph. I love the lead photo.

Enjoy your life together and have fun while you do it.

Comment on Six weeks to go! by James "The Can Man" Young

Hello Andrea and Peter
Congratulations on achieving your goal and stimulating others to do other great projects.
Well only 5 days til the happy day arrives. I’m sure that everything will go as planned. For me I wish you both the very best wedding and reception as possible and the very best honeymoon you both deserve it.

My project is tad larger as I’m collecting Aluminum cans to fund the building fund of my local Habitat chapter an help them build houses for those who are less fortunate. The project is just over a year old and to date my team of can savers have donated at total of 198,205 cans and that has generated over $3500. On behalf of the team a donation of this amount has been presented to them. By the way that 198,205 cans comes in 5,663 lbs.
It certainly helps when there are a few large corporation who cave their cans through their employee lunch rooms.

Again good luck and happy wedding day.
James “The Can Man” Young

Comment on Idea Recycled – Lisa’s Liver Transplant by LYNZEE

LYNZEE — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 19:56:08 +0000

Hi Lisa,
My name is Lynzee, I am writing you because one of my best friends sister is dealing with the same problem you are. Her Ins has been great, but we are not sure if that will keep up. A month ago Stephanie & her husband moved to Florida to wait for a liver, she has had a rare blood disease for 20 years that has cause her liver to go. Friday night she got called up for a transplant, but when they opened her up her liver was so big & it was wrapped around all her other organs, so they had to close her up. Now they are planning to do a double transplant, liver & intestines, but this is only done in 3 places in the united states. Not sure if the ins co. is willing to do this operation, if not they have given her a month to 6 months to live. It’s so sad because she has fought for 20 years & has never given up, even though the DR’s did’nt think she would make it at times. But she is a fighter. You might want to see about Florida, they called her up in 1 month, she had been waiting in CA for along time with no luck. Good luck to you, I hope they find a liver soon. Mean while I think I will tell ll my CA friends to start saving cans.

There is just no other way to say it — you guys rock beyond even the telling of it! I am so excited for you and am so proud of everything you have accomplished. I still have a very few cans up here at the house for y’all if you still have any interest in snagging them. I would love to see you guys sometime before you get all wrapped up in wedding stuff, but I suspect it may already be too late. Let me know if you want to get together sometime — I can take you out to the Magic Lantern or we could do an evening of baking. Mostly just take care of you guys and find some time where you can rest and recharge your batteries. Love you!

Comment on Recycling Rates are Down by Rebecca

I am currently jumping on the band wagon of recycling! I have just started 3 days ago. My husband and I would like to have a child of our own but I must have surgery first. I have 2 children from previous relationship. I had a cervical cancer scare after my second child and had my tubes tied. Long story short, cancer has been in remission for a lil over 4 years and I have the go ahead to have my tubes reversed. Insurance doesnt pay so I will be recycling cans and whatever else I can do to raise the $6900.00 Thanks for being an inspiration!!!!!

Wow! This is such a wonderful idea. I’ve been recycling aluminum cans for years and never thought of it on such a grand scale. Totally amazing. I hope you both have a very wonderful wedding day….as well as a long and happy life together. You are such an inspiration to me and I’m sure to many others.
