A homeless couple have exchanged wedding vows at the soup kitchen
where they met.
Staff and guests at the New Hampshire shelter donated a wedding
cake and flower arrangements.
Gina Russo and Emmanuel Booker had considered getting married in
a Wal-Mart supermarket, where they spent their evenings together.
They could not afford to go anywhere else on their dates.
About 20, mostly homeless, people attended the wedding at Friendly
Kitchen, Concord, New Hampshire.
Shelter director, Gary Webb, said theirs was a "fairytale"
story.
Gina, 34, and Emmanuel, 48, are still looking for a permanent home.
Their dream is to open a shelter of their own.
