June Weddings

Maria Nunez became the bride of Tony Wyzek on June 2nd, 1957. The bride and groom have asked that their parents names be withheld. The closed ceremony, in which bride and groom sang identical vows, took place at Lucia's Bridal Shop on the west side. Maid of Honor was Anita Palacio. Best Man was Riff Lorton. The bride wore a pale yellow work dress with a traditional bridal veil. The bride is a seamstress at Lucia's. The groom is a stock boy at Doc's Candy Shop. The couple, each currently residing with their parents, plan to leave the west side immediately.

[excerpted from the New York Times June 3rd edition. Corrections were later printed (Anita and Riff had not actually attended the ceremony). The groom and his best man were also featured the following day, albeit in a different section of the news paper.]
