It’s a fairytale ending for a former White Castle client who was nurtured by the chain when she lived on the streets as a teenager.

After turning to the chain when she had nowhere else to go, Jamie West had a come full circle moment when she tied the knot with her long-term boyfriend, Drew Schmitt, at one of the chain’s restaurants in Arizona.

West said she left the foster care system when she was only about 12 years old and after some time hitchhiking around the country in encampments in an attempt to find work. After about a week of struggling to find food, West stumbled upon a white castle – the first thing she had ever seen.

“For a minor homeless child, having some form of safe space is life-changing,” West shared People. “The first time I walked into a White Castle, the woman behind the counter said, ‘Poor thing.’ She gave me a fresh cup of water, a stack of bath slippers and let me use the bathroom. I had to clean my face and wash my hands.”

After that encounter, West said that when she came across a White Castle, she knew it would be a safe place for her to go.

West and her husband tied the knot in a white chateau with more than 200 guests, both dressed in bespoke outfits in the chain’s signature blue and gold colors.

White Castle accents at the event included endless sliders, cheesecake, and a giant cake designed to look like one of the company’s signature burgers.

“Jamie’s story serves as a reminder of the power of kindness and being there for each other as we continue to focus on our goal of nurturing the souls of Craver generations everywhere,” said Jamie Richardson, vice president of White Castle. Today.
