Their wedding doubled as a service project, and Adam Claude and Chara Juneau wouldn't have had it any other way.

Claude and Juneau met on Facebook, where Claude was organizing a meal-packing day for the nonprofit organization Feed My Starving Children in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. Feed My Starving Children volunteers put together special meals made of rice, soy, dried vegetables, and vitamins, which are shipped to millions of families in 70 different countries. Claude and Juneau have put together thousands of meals side by side, and when a Feed My Starving Children staff member joked that they should get married in the building, they thought that sounded like a great idea.
