Wedding certificate indicated place of marriage as Las Vegas, Nevada. I suspect they may have been camping and decided to marry there with the intent of following up with a more “religious” ceremony in the home of Julie’s parents, Joe & Natalie Viani. The ceremony was held in the backyard in La Cañada and was officiated by a priest from UCLA’s Newman Center because the local priest at St. Bede’s in La Cañada wouldn’t sanctify the wedding because Ray was formerly married and divorced. The priest from UCLA blessed them and everyone was happy. Many guests attended. Brother, Nick (this writer) was at the time living in the Philippines as a Peace Corps Volunteer and successfully called his sister from Manila during the reception. Photos of Julianne on the phone are precious.
