Sun - a Princeton graduate and Corporate Vice President at New York Life Insurance canceled her wedding two months before her big day after refusing to sign a prenuptial agreement. She decided to look for some less privileged kids and family to have a sumptuous meal instead.

Her wedding was supposed to hold on the eve of Mother’s Day celebration rather she turned it into a luncheon after joining forces with Salvation Army and Inwood House who found guests to attend.

“At that moment, I started to think it was God's plan. I cannot be the princess of my wedding day, but I can give the kids a fairy tale,” Yiru told the New York Post.
