A
Last Thursday, Michael and Linda stood behind large food trucks distributing meals t0 4,000
homeless people for their wedding reception on the border town of Kilis. The couple had decided
that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception, they would feed the
victims from an earthquake-stricken area.
The idea came from the bridegroom's father, Ted, who volunteers for a Turkish relief
organization. For the past few years, the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of
people who've suffered from natural disasters. He approached a representative of the organization
and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day.
Then he told his son, who was surprised by the suggestion, but soon won over. When he told
that to the bride, she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there
is a real culture of sharing with people in need. They love to share their food, their table and
everything they have. And afterwards she was quite amazed about it. So, they arrived at the
distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their
grateful recipients（接受者）．
On Tuesday evening, the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a
personal celebration for one with a greater good. "It's like sharing a dinner with your friends and
family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis - or sharing something with people who don't
even have the most basic things," Michael said. "Hopefully, this will also give the start for other
wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need."
