MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's famously austere President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Thursday sought to minimize criticism of a top aide's extravagant wedding party, saying his enemies are looking for any excuse to attack him.

Wedding photos of Dulce Silva and Cesar Yanez, Lopez Obrador's former press aide who will take a key role in the presidential office, were splashed on the cover and across 19 pages of the Mexican edition of Spanish-language society magazine Hola! published on Thursday.
