Liza Minelli and husband David Gest, who were planning a big star filled party to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, have told reporters they have put party plans on hold until world affairs enter more peaceful times.
A statement from the couple's publicist read: "With the threat of war imminent and considering more than 1,200 guests would be travelling from many different parts of the world, Liza Minnelli and David Gest have decided to postpone their anniversary party which was to be held at the Marriott Marquis in New York on April 15th. The couple feels that it is not an appropriate time for a celebration until after the resolution of the problem with Iraq, when a new date will be announced".
