SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A Spokane couple is collecting aluminum cans to help pay for their wedding.

Andrea Parrish and Peter Geyer have more than 18,000 cans in their living room — about 5 percent of their goal of collecting 400,000 cans.

The Spokesman-Review newspaper says that would be about 5 tons of aluminum, worth about $3,800 when recycled. The couple plan to be married July 31 .
