Judge Joe Cherry performed a unique wedding ceremony in his residence in Edna Monday evening when he united in marriage, by proxy, Mr. Justin Powell Ramsey of Barnias, Venezuela, South America, to Miss Helen Doris Gilley of Victoria, formerly of Edna. Mr. Eugene Talmage Bratton, former captain in the USA Army, and a cousin of the groom, acted as proxy. The groom’s mother was among those from a distance witnessing the unique marriage ceremony. We understand that because of some rule of the South American immigration law, it was necessary for the couple to marry here and not in Venezuela. The groom was a resident of Edna a few years ago when he was employed by an oil company, later moving to South America. The bride was a resident of Edna a few years ago, operating a beauty shop here, later moving to Houston, and still later returning to her home at Victoria. This was the first “long distance” marriage ceremony ever performed by Judge Cherry and the first to be performed in Edna. Mrs. Ramsey expects to leave immediately for Venezuela to reside as long as her husband is in that country. Both have a large circle of friends in Edna who wish for them a full measure of happiness.
