Creating a form to send multiple emails to existing emails using Rails

I'm building an order management system for customers. I need to set it up so I can build a form that emails a brief of the order status to a customer. The trick is that a customer can have multiple emails i.e no limits on that and the form I need to set up would show the brief generated in a textbox(nothing hard there) as well as a list of checkboxes with the email addresses which to send to.

Clicking on/off the checkboxes determines which addresses would the brief be sent to. I have everything worked out except for one main thing i.e the form - I'm not sure how can I actually set this part up i.e I'm using simple_form here and I'm not sure which model would I be making the form against? Do I need to build another model here? I'm pretty stuck.

May be you can create model like Email without database and use all ActiveRecord helper methods. These articles may be helpful.
