Most Beautiful
Step-brother in
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) .
"America's most beautiful
bride," 21-year-old Dayna Hutch
ins of Berkeley, is going to be
one new housewife without in
law problems.
The reason is she is marrying
her step-brother.
The hazel-eyed, University of
California senior and her fi
ance, Thomas Taylor, 22, are
partly responsible for this en
viable martial beginning.
It was in 1951 at the cou
ple's graduation from Berkeley
High School that Dayna's moth
er, a handsome widow with
three children, met Tom's fa
ther, a widower also with three
children.
"They told us to drive care
fully on our traditional all-night
graduation party," Dayna re
called, "then we introduced
them."
Graduation Proposal
"Tom asked me to marry him
graduation night," Dayna said,
and less than a year later the
older couple were married in
a simple ceremony at home.
"We kind of had a hunch they
were going to be married," Day
na recalled.
"The only way I can explain
it," Dayna said smiling, "is that
like daughter, like mother, and
like son, like father."
The elder Taylor explains it
this way:
"The youngsters got along so
well together, we thought we
would too."
To Be Separated
Like most young couples grad
uating from college and marry
ing, Dayna and Tom will be sep
arated for most of the next two
years. Tom will be commission
ed a second lieutenant in the Ma
rines on June 24th the morn
ing of the wedding, and is un
certain how soon he will be
called to Quantico, Va., to be
gin his two-year stint.
