So, the invitation didn't reach her aunt and uncle's home in Eugene, Oregon, but it arrived at the home of an old couple (夫妻) in Portland—twenty minutes away from the home of Cassie's aunt and uncle. Although the couple could think this invitation as a joke and not take it seriously, they sent it back with a message inside. It read, “We wish we knew you. We're sure your wedding will be great. Best wishes to you, and go and have dinner on us.” They put a $20 bill (钞票) inside the invitation. “After Jesse showed the message to me, I was just thankful and so happy，” Cassie said to her friend. Then she and Jesse used the money to take their friend to dinner. Cassie also wrote a thank­you card back to the mysterious couple, so the couple would know they accepted their good act.
