"Couple Collects Cans To Pay For Wedding"

MADELEINE BRAND, host:

POST-BROADCAST CORRECTION: The first name of Geyer is Peter, not Steve.

Good morning. Im Madeleine Brand. A couple in Washington state is filling their home with aluminum cans. They have more than 18,000 in their living room. People around Spokane are donating their empties. The couples goal: 400,000. Andrea Parrish and Steve Geyer want to recycle all those cans and make about $4,000 to pay for their wedding. Nothing extravagant: a potluck, some flowers, and some home-brewed beer in a mug.

Its MORNING EDITION.
