Huge wedding thrown for Chavez's daughter
CARACAS — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threw a magnificent wedding for his daughter yesterday, with a cake big enough to serve 1,000, including Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who is reported to have declined his invitation. Venezuela's press has dubbed it the "revolutionary wedding," after the president's leftist politics. Rosa Virginia Chavez, who appears at her father's side more often than the first lady, was married to the defense minister's nephew Pedro Manuel Prieto in a 19th-century chapel on the grounds of the Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas. Rosa Virginia is the second of Mr. Chavez's four children from two marriages.
