The community is stepping up to help one engaged couple whose home burned down, destroying everything they owned, just days before they were supposed to tie the knot.
If planning a wedding isn't stressful enough, one Long Island couple is dealing with losing everything they owned to a devastating fire, just days before they were supposed to tie the knot. But now, their community is stepping up in a huge way to help them rebuild.Amanda Cappiello of Middle Island never imagined a fire tearing down the home she and her fiancé shared together less than a week before their big day.
Luckily, the couple and their dog, a corgi named Chandler, weren’t injured, but they lost nearly everything they owned except for the clothes on their backs.Miraculously their wedding bands - recovered by firefighters once the flames were out - were unscathed and still sparkled."We cried for the first day and then said we have to be adults and do what we have to do," Cappiello said.
Owner and founder Heather Cunningham has never met the couple but is committed to doing whatever she can to help.
