"My parent's wedding, Aug 29, 1931, Terlingua Texas.
Asusena Bustillos, Pola Escalante, Maria Molinar, bride Natividad Garcia,
groom Benigno Franco, Marcos Scott, Paz Molinar,Jorge Valenzuela, Enrique Madrid.

Whoever ever took the picture cut off the first bridesmaid. She was Enrique Madrid's sister.
I am not sure of her first name. It might have been Amparo. The Madrids were from Redford, Tx, but living in Terlingua at the time."
