Imprisoned American Lori Berenson's jailhouse wedding was postponed Wednesday. But her fiance — a paroled 40-year-old Peruvian she met while the two were serving time in the big house on terrorism charges — said he can wait another day, even though he is prohibited from attending the ceremony. Berenson, 33, a former Massachusetts Institute of Technology student and New York resident, is serving a 20-year sentence in a prison in the Andean town of Cajamarca, 350 miles north of Lima.

The prospective groom Anibal Apari is prohibited from leaving the capital, Lima, because of terms of his parole. He was released from prison in June after serving 12 1/2 years of a 15-year sentence for being involved with the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement. Berenson was convicted of collaborating with the same group. It was unclear why the wedding was delayed Wednesday, but the Cajamarca municipal registrar said officials have given him permission to perform the ceremony Thursday.
