Mystery Wedding Photo

My dear blog followers:  Do any of you know any of the people in this handsome wedding photo from the 1940s or 1950s?  The photo belongs to Donna Morris, and she would like some help naming these familiar faces.

Do you think the groom looks like the muscle man holding up Tony Witkins in this photo (see below right photo)  from Memorial Pool? Please let us know. To me, the groom looks a little like an Urbanckas.
