It’s not your typical love story, but it does have a storybook ending.
A homeless Tampa couple got the chance to have the wedding of their dreams on Friday.
Just six weeks ago, they were living in the woods, but now they have a bright future ahead.
Evelyn and Rocky have been homeless for three years.
"This is a dream come true, and everybody that has did, these girls and everything, it’s just been a dream come true,” Evelyn said. “No one has ever did this for me and Rocky."
The couple and their dog have been through a lot of tough times together, but never gave up on their dream of one day living together in a place they can call home.
"We look forward to a new life, to start over,” Rocky said. “That’s about all I can say. It is going to be a start over."
When the owners of a nearby ranch heard the couple’s story, they offered their wedding services for free.
"It’s been so moving to see how excited they are, and it’s been as much a gift for our staff, myself, my husband, and our staff as much as it is for them," Cross Creek Ranch owner Bonnie McSharry said.
Others donated a dress for Evelyn, a tux for Rocky, flowers, food and drinks for all the guests.
Tampa Police Homeless Liaison Officer Daniel McDonald is credited with pulling everything together.
"We do have a lot of challenges working with the homeless, so it’s nice to have a victory like this,” McDonald said. “It’s nice to see them happy and starting a new chapter in their life."
Housing and Urban Development are also providing the couple with a permanent place to live, and it will come fully furnished thanks to a group called Homemakers of Hope.
