Got Married To Jim Crane In A Lavish Ceremony

Jim Crane and Whitney Crane might be secretive about much of their lives, but the couple did not hesitate to share a glimpse of their wedding day. The pair got married over Memorial Day weekend in 2017, surrounded by their friends and family.

As per Paper City, the Crane couple’s wedding took place in Floridian National Golf Club, owned by the business mogul. They were flanked by floral swans while exchanging their vows and surrounded by blue hydrangeas, blue delphiniums, gardenias, orchids, and white roses while sharing their first dance.

The couple had booked pop star Bruno Mars to perform while they danced as a newlywed. But a snafu prevented it from happening, and country star Clay Walker ended up singing while Whitney and Jim danced to the tunes.

Moreover, Jim Crane’s wife, Whitney, wore a custom wedding gown with blue lace touch designed by Carolina Herrera. The groom wore black pants paired with a white tuxedo jacket. All the guests, including Houston Astros’ general manager Jeff Luhnow and wife, Gina Luhnow, also donned white.

Aforementioned, Jim and Whitney Crane are secretive about their love life but surprisingly made their wedding day public. And during their big day, the Crane couple’s son, James Robert Crane II, was at the center of the action.

It is unclear when the businessman and his spouse started dating, and the same can be said for their kid’s birth. As per the 2017 article detailing the pair’s wedding, Whitney and Jim Crane’s son was three-year-old at the time. However, a Houston Chronicle article from October 2017 states that the toddler was just two.

While there is contrasting information regarding his birthday and age, it is clear that Whitney Crane’s son, James, is loved by his parents. He also accompanies his mom to various Astros games supporting the team.

Moreover, while young James is the only kid of Whitney Crane, born Whitney Wheeler, her husband had already welcomed two children from his first marriage.

Whitney Crane’s husband, Jim, was married to Theresa Crane before he became a business mogul. The former pair has a son, Jared Crane, and a daughter Krystal Crane together. After their divorce, Jim’s ex-wife retained custody of their kids until 2000.

But, Crane sued for custody, and the legal battle turned nasty. Finally, the ex-pair came to an agreement, and the Crane siblings now have a good relationship with their parents.

Furthermore, Jim Crane’s children, Jared and Krystal Crane-Thompson, share a great bond with their stepmother, Whitney Crane.

At the time of the custody battle, the Houston Astros chairman was married to his second wife, Franci Neely Crane.
