U.S. Postal worker saves Alaskan couple's wedding

Crystle Lewis and her fiancé mailed out their wedding invitations earlier this month and began to wonder why they weren't receiving any RSVP's

It turns out that their envelopes needed extra postage because of a wax seal, but Lewis didn't know that.

When a local postal worker noticed the pile of envelopes had not been sent, he decided to buy the extra postage. That night, he worked with his co-workers to mail the wedding invitations.

The Alaskan bride-to-be says she's thankful for that U.S. Postal worker who went above and beyond to save her big day.

"He was nice enough to pay for the extra postage, and put them on there and send them out for us so we could have people at our wedding," she said.

The couple tried to repay the worker for the extra postage, but he refused, saying he was just happy he could help.

"I couldn't help but choke up, it was so unexpected, Lewis said. "I wasn't expecting that at all. It was really nice."

Edward Mayton, the postal worker, said that he didn't even think twice about it.

"That's just what we do, not just because we're supposed to do it," Mayton said. "I mean, this is the valley; this is Wasilla. We take care of each other out here."
