It’s About Time!
A community in Tampa, Florida, came together to help a homeless couple have a fairytale wedding that they will never forget.
Today.com reported that it all began when Evelyn and Rocky Barlett were discovered living in the woods last year by Officer Dan McDonald. The couple had been together for a long time and wanted to get married, but could not scrape together the money for a marriage license, as they have been homeless for three years. “We’ve been together for 22 years and believe it or not, we’ve never had enough money to get the license in all those years,” Evelyn Barlett told Today.com.
When the couple shared their story with Officer McDonald, he was immediately sympathetic. The cost of a marriage license in Florida is $93, and Officer McDonald saw to it that they had enough funds to obtain the license.
