HOUSTON (AP) - Celebrity chef Rachael Ray arranged for more than 40 couples to tie the knot at a baseball stadium when their weddings were delayed after Hurricane Ike.
A spokeswoman for TV's ``The Rachael Ray Show'' said Monday that highlights of the mass ceremony, at Minute Maid Park in Houston, will air in late November.
Hallie Goldfarb told The Associated Press that Ray and her husband, John Cusimano, (koos-uh-MAWN'-oh), attended Sunday night's ceremony.
Ray became involved after learning that two wedding reception venues closed during recovery efforts following Ike, which hit Sept. 13.
Ray helped coordinate contributions from businesses for the wedding ceremony at the home of the Houston Astros.
Ray selected the menu for the family-style dinner, including roasted beef tenderloin with poblano chutney, rosemary garlic roasted pork tenderloin and free-range chicken.
Goldfarb says the brides and grooms did not have to pay for the expense of the mass wedding.
