Ray and Edith got married on July 4th. Pat and I have been helping by printing signs, locating and purchasing Peruvian wine and beer and other small tasks. Janet, Kevin and Carolyn joined us along with Ray, Edith and Edith's family with the pre-wedding set-up. We arranged the patio, decorated the restaurant, stripped roses for the petals and hung a piñata.
We were all taking notes, thinking about Janet and Freddy’s wedding in November. I’ve been considering taking the week before their wedding off, now I’m contemplating taking the entire month of November off! Just kidding, but there are so many details to be taken care.Ray and Edith got married at Ay Ay Picante, a Peruvian Restaurant on Elston. The restaurant had never hosted a wedding before. The owner Jamie and his staff went all out to create a welcoming venue and wonderful food.
The best parts of the wedding for me were getting a new sister in-law, having kids home, spending time with Margo and Gabriel, talking with my cousin Dean and his wife Jane, and seeing Selso, an old friend and Gabriel’s brother. Below are some photos.

Edith and Ray cut the cake. Yes that's wheat grass surrounding the cake.
What's a wedding without Peruvian dancers?

I must say that we all looked very sharp in the "white cocktail attire."

I was hoping someone who knew the meaning of a 24-hour news cycle would have something up already about the wedding, and there it was! Everybody does look splendid. Happy Marriage Ray and Edith.
I am helping my brother plan a wedding, for next month, in Chicago. The woman he is marrying is from Peru. Do you know where the wedding cake is from? Did you have enough room in that restaurant for a wedding? Thanks for your help! -Jenny from Ohio
hi jenny, I am happy to assist you. We decided to have a pyramid like wedding cake, so we gave the cake lady some suggestions, the rest was the results.... i will give you her info later, also the peruvian restaurant has the nazca lines painted on the walls, chefs are also peruvians, there is a website (from NY) where you can order the sourveniers, which are small peruvian pottery. Feel free to email me if you have other questions.
