Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph caption dated February 6, 1961 reads, "Actress Daria Massey, 24, and stage manager David Joesting, 29, were married Friday on a movie set where they first met Nov. 30. The marriage, performed by the Rev. Morris R. Bigbee, Burbank, center, was filmed and will be used in a Jerry Lewis film 'The Ladies Man.' Veteran Hollywood observers believe it was the first time an actual marriage has been filmed for a movie. Comedian Lewis, who plays a houseboy with a Cupid fixation in the film, and opera singer Helen Traubell, played supporting roles in the marriage as best man and matron of honor."
