A homeless couple, together for 10 years and saving to have a simple wedding, were surprised when a local shelter gave them a special day to remember.

Jerold and Mani Clay weren't planning anything fancy, they only wanted the paperwork to make their union official.

When the people who run their Grand Rapids, Michigan shelter found out the two were getting married, they sprang into action, leveraging their ministry's resources to give them a "fairy tale" wedding.

Mel Trotter Ministries found a gown for the bride and tux for the groom at its thrift shop. It lined up people to do hair and make-up for the bride and a wedding official performed the ceremony for free.

"It was a blessing. I didn't expect this at all," Mani told WXMI News. "We just wanted to do it casual with a few friends and family, and they came to me and made this happen, the dress, makeup, hair and everything, and it meant a lot."
