(Continued from page 4) they talked it over. It was to be on a Saturday evening in Las Vegas.
On Saturday afternoon Dinah, her close friend Cobina Wright Jr., and Shirley set out to shop for a wedding dress. They found a lovely soft blue one at Saks but it was too long. Couldn’t they please cut it off right then, Dinah begged, not letting on it was for her wedding. It took much pleading and pretending it was for a command radio performance for the boys before the store agreed. While the alterations were in progress the girls shopped for a wedding ring for George (it was to be a double ring ceremony) and dark blue accessories to wear with the blue dress.
In a cold dreary ladies’ room of a Las Vegas, gas station at two that morning Dinah changed into her wedding dress while Cobina telephoned Justice Paul O’Malley and George searched for a gardenia bouquet and white prayer book for his bride to carry.

The ceremony was so brief Dinah was sure Justice O’Malley had forgotten part of it. He assured her over and over he hadn’t. Miss Dinah Shore had, indeed, become Mrs. George Montgomery.
They repaired, the bride, groom and party, to a town cafe for the wedding breakfast of ham and eggs and then came back to Dinah’s home. Cobina gave a wedding dinner party the first night, but the second night George dismissed the cook and donned an apron to prepare a spaghetti dinner just for himself and his bride. They had one more night and then he
was gone — overseas, he thought. It wasn’t until he arrived at the station that he discovered he was being sent to Randolph Field, Texas. Dinah tried to get transportation too, but failed. While there, George stayed with Dinah’s sister and brother-in-law. Captain and Mrs. M. Seligman. By now he may very well be one of the boys over there listening to Dinah’s voice on those “Command Performance” records, longing and wanting his bride like thousands of other fellows. Maybe that new deep ring in her voice is just for him — her man over there.
