[Introducing "The Wedding Party"]

Valerie Durollari and Ken Biberaj: Children of Albanian immigrants, Valerie and Ken met at a huge Albanian wedding in '04.  After the first meeting resulted in little interest, more was to come from these two as time went on. Their outing became competitions to see who knew the most about NY. Storytelling at the Moth, Carnegie Hall, etc. Fitting that their wedding took place at a shared favorite- the Russian Tea Room. Over 560 guests welcomed the new couple at the large Albanian wedding with 10 bridesmaides.
