Marriage of Luther Crow & Doris Griffin
Dallas Morning News
July 21, 1946
 

Miss Doris Mae Griffin became the bride of Luther R. Crow Jr. in a ceremony performed at the Brooklyn Avenue Methodist Church Saturday evening by the Rev. Thomas E. Hardy. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.A. Griffin, 223 Hartsdale, and the bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Luther R. Crow, 2705 Almeda.

Mr. Griffin gave his daughter in marriage. She wore a white brocaded satin gown designed with a fitted bodice, full-length pointed sleeves and a skirt which extended into a train. The bridal veil of illusion fell from a crown of seed pearls. She also had a single strand of pearls, a gift of the bridegroom.

The bride carried two white orchids tied with satin streamers and stephanotis topping a white Bible.

Miss Barbara Erwin attended the bride as maid of honor, and Miss Marjorie Marlett and Miss Lorena Sanders were bridesmaids. Carl Griffin Jr., brother of the bride, was best man, and Jack Warren, Keith Lane of Boulder, Col., and Harry Williams of Denton served as ushers. Traditional wedding music was presented by Miss Johnelle Fieszel and Miss Donna Ruth Gillett.

A reception was held at the home of the bride's parents. Mrs. Tom P. Hill and Miss Eva Lynn Mathews cut the four-tiered wedding cake and Mrs. William Anderson presided at the bride's book.

Mr. and Mrs. Crow left for a wedding trip to Mexico, with the bride wearing a blue gabardine suit with a white blouse, smoke-white hat and gloves and other accessories of black. She had a white orchid corsage. On their return, they will live in Forney.

The bride is a graduate of Sunset High School and attended NTSC. Mr. Crow attended Sunset High School and Kilgore High School. He served three years in the Marine Corps, two and a half years of which he spent in the Pacific theater of operations.

Other out of town guests attending the ceremony were Mrs. Robert Crow and daughter; Miss Billie Jean Crow, McCamey; Mr. and Mrs. Milton Humphrey and son, Russell Humphrey, El Paso; Mr. and Mrs. Gay Cartright and Mrs. Lena Cartright, Andrews; Mr. and Mrs. Roy H.
