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.

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.
