MARRIAGE OF VISCOUNT GALWAY. The marriage of Viscount Galway, with Miss Vere Gosling was solemnised yesterday George's Church, Hanover Square, London,in the presence of large number of relatives and friends. The bridegroom's best man was Francis Monckton. The bride was given away Mr John C. Ramsden.

They were dressed in white Indian muslin over white silk. Each carried a bouquet of white flowers and wore a pin in the form of the viscount's coronet, composed of pearls and diamonds, the gift of the bridegroom.
The bride wore a white satin Duchess dress, with long train trimmed with crepe lisse and orange blossoms, with branch of edelweiss. The broad wreath of orange blossoms was intermixed with a Grecian diadem of diamonds (see above the shoulder ornaments), over which a tulle veil was fastened by stars and crescent of diamonds with a necklet of pearls.

"Lady Galway in palest green wore a splendid diamond tiara and necklet." Saturday 20 June 1903 Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News
No public ball has ever had such distinguished patronage as the Grand Costume Ball which is given in aid of the Charing Cross Hospital improvements to-night, and takes place in the now fashionable Albert Hall. The Queen has given her patronage. Dressed Like Their Ancestors. Some other lovely dresses will be worn, but none more effective than that of Viscountess Galway, who is leading what is now known as the Peeresses' Quadrille. Her's is copied from that an ancestress, the Duchess of Ancaster, and is so correct in every detail that her beautiful tall tiara has been altered for the night into a great diamond wheel, which is characteristic of the period. Dundee Evening Post 1903.
Viscountess Galway were soft white satin pailletted with silver, on her bodice being diamond laurel leaves, while she also wore a superb tiara and a double necklace of diamonds. Wellington News 1905

Lady Galway, the wife of Lord Galway and the chatelaine of Serlby Hall, is tall, very handsome, and very good to look upon generally. Her life has been one of great activity. She has under taken long travels with her husband year after year. They have visited Norway, Sweden, Finland, Nijni Novgorod, Moscow, Malta, Constantinople, and India. In India she shot a large Sambur deer near Benares, and the head is preserved amid a forest of other antlers at Serlby. She has always been fond of hunting, riding, and outdoor sports. She hunts with her husband's hounds and plays the gracious hostess at the lawn meets at Serlby. One held last autumn commemorated the twenty-fifth year of her husband's mastership. Lady Galway is a keen politician, a fluent speaker for the Primrose League, and an effective canvasser.
Her work has been commemorated by the local habitation by the gift of the grand star
in diamonds. Naturally Lady Galway prizes this ornament very much, but even more to be admired are her strings of magnificent pearls.
Serlby Hall. Serlby is about three miles and a half south of Bawtry and stands in beautiful scenery. The old house was a long, low, rambling edifice, but it was replaced by a squarely-built Georgian mansion which is more commodious than handsome. It overlooks a broad piece of water. Orchids are among Lady Galway's favourite flowers and there is ample provision for their cultivation in the glass houses. Among the pictures in the house are some fine Holbeins and Vandycks, including one of Henry VIII. by the former artist.
She died in 1921.
There were 1.000 guests for one the most brilliant weddings of the season in 1953.
The bride is the only daughter of Lord and Lady Stavordale, of Evershot, Dorchester, and grand daughter of Lady llchester. Attended by three pages and four child-bridesmaids and given away by her father, she wore a gown of white satin with a lace-embroidered train, and a lace-embroidered tulle veil held in place by a tiara, a family heirloom. Which was the altered lower version, of his grandmother's, the Galway tiara , see on top in the centre.
The pages were dressed in replica dress uniforms of the Life Guards of the eighteenth century and the bridesmaids in white brocade dresses copied from the wedding dress worn by the first Lady llchester. Officiating at the wedding were Canon Charles Smyth and the Rev. A. C. Birch. Viscount Galway succeeded to the title in 1943.
The guard of honour was provided by Life Guards, with whom Lord Galway serves as a Lieutenant . The pages were the Hon. David Ward, Hugh Fetherstonhaugh and David Henderson and the bridesmaids the Hon. Frances Guest, Arabella Churchill (daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Randolph Churchill), third from right; Martha Laycock and Caroline Digby. The best man was the Marquess of Blandford.
