Showing Original Post only (View all)Bride won’t sign prenup, throws ‘wedding party’ for poor kids instead [View all]
Yiru Sun was radiant in bridal white Saturday even though she had called off her wedding at the last minute, instead turning her reception into a feast for the poor.
The pretty Manhattan insurance executive was supposed to tie the knot in a lavish Upper East Side wedding Saturday. But after balking at the proposed prenup, she turned her heartbreak and her non-refundable $8,000 reception deposit into something beautiful: a luncheon for 60 needy kids and their families.
I should have been the bride. It was canceled, Sun told her guests at the elegant Harold Pratt House at East 68th Street and Park Avenue. Initially I felt frustrated, said Sun, a vice president at New York Life Insurance, declining to dish about her former betrothed, not even to name him.
I dont want to sign things I dont feel comfortable with, is all shell reveal of the prenup dust-up.
Three weeks later, I woke up with this idea, Sun, herself a single mom of a 6-year-old daughter, told her guests, who were chosen with help from The Salvation Army and Inwood House.

"not being well off" is NOT the fault of the insurance company. They provide a service.

I just offered you proof that the health care plan she claimed was helping us was in fact a cover up
