After learning that their daughter had cancelled her wedding just 40 days before the date, Willie and Carol Fowler of Roswell, Ga., decided to throw a reception party for 200 homeless people.

With the help of an Atlanta outreach organization, Hosea Feed the Hungry and Homeless, they kept the wedding reception venue and put on a lavish affair for people who had never experienced such an event.

Afterward, the Fowlers decide to make this an annual event with varying degrees of food, education and opportunity for area homeless.
