Although they were only runners-up in their campaign to win a free wedding through a contest focused on the theme of paying it forward, Jeannette Moore and Joseph Chambers of Olds collected more than 800 kilograms of food for the Mountain View Food Bank.
Moore and Chambers had entered a contest sponsored by Wedding Saviours, an organization made up of professionals in the wedding industry and their business partners, and were selected as semifinalists last month along with a couple from Red Deer and a couple from Blackfalds.
Through the contest, the trio of couples carried out good deeds for their communities with the goal of winning a free wedding where the organization and its business partners in the Red Deer area would provide everything from flowers, to the venue, to the honeymoon.
For their final paying-it-forward mission, each couple was tasked with collecting food for a food bank.
Along with carrying out the good deeds, each couple also had to score the most votes from the public on the Wedding Saviours webpage.
Karen Lutz and Maluk Ayom Kok of Red Deer were named the contest’s winners on May 1, although Chambers said he and Moore only missed first place by a few points.
