This Weekend: Greener Living Meets The Wedding Can Couple



Peter Geyer and Andrea Parrish were married last year in the greenest wedding of the season. The couple collected aluminum cans to fund their wedding and help the environment. Their wedding was light on the planet indeed, with only $3,800 to spend on a party for 150 people, there’s little room for excess and waste. The couple has focused on what’s most important to them, gathering their family and friends together for a lively celebration. Their motto: saving the environment and throwing a killer party. What could be better?

Greener Living will talk to Peter + Andrea about the environmental side of their mission:

•How hard was it to collect all those cans?
•How much money could you get for say 1000 cans – a nickel per can standard reclamation?
•Where do you bring the cans for reclamation?
•What are some other green wedding ideas? Anything else that can be collected and recycled for $ like used electronics? Have you done any offsetting of travel?
•Has this started a whole movement?
•How did you keep the cost of your wedding to under $4000? •You are collecting cans for your honeymoon: where are you going and how many cans will it take?
