A New York financier-turned-jewelry designer has created a line of wedding items designed to channel some of the tens of thousands of dollars spent on high-end nuptials to charity, The Wall Street Journal writes.
The “Say I Do to Philanthropy” project, started by Joan Hornig this month in partnership with the marriage Web site TheKnot.com, directs profits from the sale of Ms. Hornig’s designs to a charity of the bride and groom’s choice.
Since leaving Wall Street to devote herself to design in 2003, Ms. Hornig has raised more than $1-million for some 600 charities through her jewelry line, Philanthropy Is Beautiful.

Good for Ms. Hornig! She has made what are designed to be beautiful occasions even more beautiful. I hope the couples whose charities she endows will themselves be encouraged to give throughout their married lives–and not just to each other!
