As Rosie and Edward already had already been living together for a few years, they decided that they didn’t need anything else for their house and instead chose to ask their guests to make a donation to St Mungo’s.

“We live in central London and have seen the devastating effect that the last decade has had on people. And we know that anyone can be down on their luck. Homelessness should not be possible in a society that considers itself civilised. Thank goodness for St Mungo’s, who have helped so many people in shelters not far from our home with the resources they need, and whose task is (sadly) getting larger.

The huge goodwill expressed to us from guests at our wedding towards supporting St Mungo’s is illustrative of how highly the organisation is held. We even had guests whose family had been personally helped by St Mungo’s. We hope that our and their contributions have gone some way to supporting your excellent work.”
