Well, for one couple in Iowa this was a major deal. Both couples married on November 20th, 1947, and while one couple married at Westminster Abbey, Gerald and Dorothy Beck married in Elkader.
They have Harry's late mother Diana's inheritance and that SWEET deal with Spotify and Netflix, so I think they're good for now. This entire page had been taken down because it seemed like a total scam. If you look it up or use this link, it will say that the campaign can not be found. It ended up raising about $110 though!
