Everyone's feeling bad for Michelle Marxen, but a disabled persons group in her hometown of Fargo, N.D., are empathizing with big smiles. Marxen had signed contracts and made deposits on her "fairy-tale wedding" set for Oct. 19, and the invitations were about to go out when her fiance phoned with a bombshell RSVP. "He didn't want to marry me," she told local station WDAY. "He said he didn't love me anymore." But like another family in a similar bind, Marxen decided there could still be a party, turning the already-paid-for arrangements for her reception into a Halloween soiree for the clients of Creative Care for Reaching Independence. "What was supposed to be my special day will now be their special day," said Marxen, who will spend her special day in Las Vegas instead.
