We are getting geared up for wedding season so why not try and be Green throughout your wedding planning.

That’s what one Spokane, Washington couple decided to do.

Andrea Parrish and Peter Geyer’s relationship has been unique, even up to their engagement with an opal earring.  So when they were planning their wedding, they knew a small intimate ceremony with family and friends would reflect their personalities.  They soon found out that even a small ceremony would cost more than a few dollars.

Being an environmentally friendly couple, they decided to help the environment and pay for their wedding at the same time by recycling aluminum cans. 

Andrea says,  “Well, Peter actually recycles aluminum into artwork during the summer. So I was looking at the 40 pounds of aluminum cans in the garage and thought, ‘Hey, maybe we can recycle those and pay for our wedding with it.’”

Peter and Andrea will receive about 1 cent per can from Alcoa Incorporated, a leading producer in aluminum.  So far, they’ve raised $3,800 worth of recycled aluminum cans with the help of local Spokane businesses.

They could always use some more so if you are interested check out their website at weddingcans.com or find them on Twitter and Facebook under the name "Wedding Cans".
