Mock weddings such as this one at Embry A.M.E. Church, circa 1949, were popular dramatizations and fundraisers for churches. The church’s youth played the parts of bride, groom, minister, and wedding party. Sunday School superintendent Dessie Randall Thomas loaned her wedding dress for this activity. Jean Gray and Ellsworth Dory, both about age fifteen, are the bride and groom, and Yvonne Thomas and Betty Smith are among the attendants.

Unsure of what the specific event was celebrating; possibly a "Tom Thumb Wedding"? Myron's sister, DeWana Gray, is pictured; she is 4 years older than Myron. Pamela Boardley, Elwood Gross (Maxine's father), Manny Gray (a cousin), Regina Thomas, and Jimmy Edwards are also pictured. The Gray family was living in a family house that stood where Paint Branch is now, and then moved to a home at 8106 48th Ave., where student housing currently is. Dessie Randall Thomas usually managed youth programs at Embry.

They evaluated bank partnerships. Myron Gray joined the banking sector after discharge from the military; he worked in the Corporate Trust Department of American Security Bank working to advance corporate trust services. The bank merged with Maryland National Bank around 1980, then merged with Nation Bank. Following the mergers, Gray's department was eliminated.
