Gov. James Michael Curley marries Gertrude Dennis.

The ceremony is performed by auxiliary bishop Francis Spellman in a chapel at Boston College on the morning of Curley’s last day in office. Curley then proceeds to the State House, where he Curley departs from the traditional “lone walk” by being joined by his bride. The couple walk out the front door, down the steps, and across Boston Common, then step into a new Lincoln limousine (reputed to be “a gift” from Curley’s staff”) with the license plate No. 5 (somehow acquired from a Charles Appleton II), and leave for a seven-week honeymoon in the Bahamas and South America.
