As little girls, we all dream of one day marrying our Knight in Shining Armour – the one that will take care of us, love us and vow to never…..Get us to sign a PRE-NUP? Not exactly what every little girl thinks about when she has dreams of walking down the aisle, but that was the case for Yiru Sun. Sun whom was supposed to walk down the aisle to wedded bliss. The wedding got cancelled due to the fact that she did not feel comfortable in signing the pre-nup that her ex presented her with.
According to the New York Post the pretty Manhattan insurance executive was supposed to tie the knot in a lavish Upper East Side wedding on Saturday. After Yiru Sun, turned down the proposed pre-nup, two months before she was to get married, she put down a whopping $8000.00 deposit at a luxury hotel in New York that was supposed to hold her reception, (did I mention the money was non-refundable…OUCH!). But Yuri didn’t allow the non-refundable deposit to get the best of her, she decided to turn what would have been a disaster for most brides into a positive one. Yiru reached out to the Salvation Army & an organization called Inwood House whom helped her round-up 60 needy kids and their families to use the pre-paid space to provide a luncheon for.
Sun stated that she felt it was God’s plan of turning her misfortune into a great party for others.
The children and their families were delighted, surprised and humbled by Yiru’s gift to them, they were not only treated to good food but the kids enjoyed getting their faces painted along with balloons to celebrate the event. While at the event Yiru began to tell the crowd of her poor upbringing in China, she stated that she studied in America and won a full scholarship to Princeton University where she obtained a PhD in Electrical Engineering.
I cannot be a princess of my wedding day, but I can the kids a fairy tale. Yiru Sun
In Life, we will get dealt many lemons – that’s a given – but it’s what you do with those lemons that determine how well you will beat life at it’s own game. Yiru Sun might not have obtained the man of her dreams, but she received something even greater in return: paying it forward to others whom needed it the most.
