It's official! They got married! Surrounded by his family and friends, Peter Molyneaux ’20 and Valentina Valizada were married at the Chapel of St. John Paul II in Baku, Azerbaijan. Yes, Baku, Azerbaijan! It’s the home of the bride, Valentina. While Fr. Ralph prepared the couple for marriage, Fr. Behbud Mustafayev witnessed and received the vows, making it his third wedding ever. Afterward, it was time for a party where not only the couple was feted but also where many others had gathered, including fellow Stedsmen. That’s right! Fellow Stedsmen, Gabriel Solorzano '20, John Quinlan '20, and James Moreman '20, joined Molyneaux on his wedding day! On joining Valentina and Peter for their wedding, Solorzano shared, “Love was in the Azerbaijani air. The early November Eurasian weather blessed the Stedsmen that made the pilgrimage to celebrate Peter and Valentina’s marriage. James learned the traditional Azeri dances, Johnny Q made new friendships, and I learned about their culture. T’was truly an unforgettable experience that marked yet another chapter in our everlasting Steds friendship.”
Congratulations to Peter and Valentina Molyneaux!
