Wasn’t Don Vito locked up in 1961 in ATL? If he was I think he’d struggle to be in Chicago at a wedding! Correct me if I’m wrong

Yes he was, good you point that out.

Prison Footage Of Joe DiPalermo & Vito Genovese

Also Joe Profaci died the next year, so in 1961 I kinda doubt he went.

The wedding was big thing though many many heavy guys !

I don't doubt that.

Another interesting bit

Haiti dictator Duvalier and Andre Labay
In 1968 Labay went to Haiti, where he made a small fortune from a factory.
He was often visited there by Legros, and the two became personal
friends of the Haitian dictator Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier. Labay
ingratiated himself with Duvalier's daughter MarieDenise, leading some
to suspect he was her lover. In Haiti he served as an SDECE-CIA double
agent. He stayed in close touch with U.S. gangsters Joe Bonnano and Max
Intrattor, and one of his Geneva contacts was the Lansky syndicate's
financial brain, John Pullman.[E. Gerdan: DossierA ... comme Armes
(Alain Moreau, 1974). The Mafia's activities in Cuba were controlled by
Joe Bonnano, whose close partners today in the so-called Southern Rim
Mafia are Santo Trafficante, jr. and Carlos Marcello. Labay was also
closely tied to Intra-Bank founder Yussef Beidas.]
