Johnny Ray Weds Marilyn Morrison in Quiet New York Ceremony
Johnny Ray, famed crooner known for crying on records, was inaudible for minutes during his private wedding to Marilyn Morrison at the Hotel Warwick in Manhattan. The ceremony was led by Special Sessions Judge Herman Barshay with about 40 guests including Mayor Vincent Impelliteri. The event drew bobbysoxers outside, while Ray and his bride moved on to a reception after a brief, emotional moment. Ray’s father Elmer and mother Jean Ray watched, with Ray’s shout of joy after the ceremony contrasted by the momentary loss of his voice. The groom’s family plans a move to a new farm in Salem, Oregon.
