Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein hosted a Feb. 6 event at Manhattan's Sky360° By Delta to celebrate the launch of the Catered Affair Online Family Wedding Album website, an interactive collection of wedding stories, photos and videos.

In addition to launching the website, the event also debuted Cupcake Cafe's special "A Catered Affair Wedding Cupcake."

Fierstein wrote the book for the Broadway-bound musical about "a Bronx mother's efforts to give her only daughter the elaborate wedding she never had- and the bride never asked for." The Tony-winning playwright/actor will be featured in a cast that also includes Faith Prince, Tom Wopat, Leslie Kritzer and Matt Cavenaugh. Previews are set to begin March 25 at the Walter Kerr Theatre.

Described as a "living, interactive album of stories and snapshots from people everywhere as well as personal wedding memories from the show's stars and a cross section of celebrated New Yorkers," the Catered Affair website may be found at www.ACateredAffairOnBroadway.com

Here are some photos from the afternoon event:
