Published on May 22, 2023
Everyone needs help at some point, and it’s wonderful when others assist. Lucy often took this idea to a new level. In fact, she’d developed a friendship with Mark, a homeless man. When it was time for her wedding, she invited Mark, though it upset her family and friends. However, they had no idea what the homeless man had planned to do. It would be a surprise of a lifetime. No one was aware of what Mark wanted to do for the couple. Lucy and her fiance were completely thrown for a loop on their special day. Here’s what he did on their wedding day.

Taking Care of Everyone

Lucy enjoyed helping people in need, and homelessness was a big concern for her. She liked volunteering at a local shelter, going out of her way to ensure that those in the neighborhood who lived on the streets were cared for.

Mark

One day, Lucy saw someone sitting on the sidewalk with a sign reading “homeless and hungry.” She offered help, and Mark accepted. He claimed not to have eaten for two days, which hurt to hear. After asking what he needed, he replied, “A blanket.”

Mark lost his job and couldn’t afford rent, so the landlord evicted him. Since he couldn’t find a place, he was left on the street. With time, Mark and Lucy became friends. She’d bring food, and they’d talk seemingly forever. He had a gentle soul, and she was drawn to him.
