...Elizabeth Nail-Cain, only daughter of Lord Lady Brocket, was a radiant bride when she married the Earl of Bective son of the Marquess Marchioness of Headfort, at St. James's, Spanish place.
She wore a beautiful dress of pearl-tinted satin embroidered with paillettes and diamante in a shamrock design with a long tulle veil hold in place by a magnificent tiara, and a diamond necklace. Her eight pretty bridesmaids, wearing full-skirted dresses of white net o silver with bouquets and head-dresses of mixed spring flowers, were Hon. Sheelin Maxwell, the Hon. Diana Conolly-Carew, Miss Susan ills, Miss Sally Hall, Miss Alexandra Seely, Miss Virginia Cayley, Miss line Hill and Miss Mary Illingworth. After the ceremony Lord Lady Brocket, the latter wearing a light blue coat a dress with little flower hat to match, held a reception on the terrace the House of Lords where a pale blue and white striped awning had be erected over a long buffet decorated with vases of lovely flowers and the wedding cake, on which were sprays of shamrock it was a beautilui setting. The Marquess of Headfort in his wheel-chair, and the Marchioness, charming in deep hyacinth blue with a pink hat and acces sories, had come over from Ireland for the wedding and received the guests with Lord Lady Brocket.
A personality greatly missed on this happy occasion was the bridegroom's much loved grandmother, Rose, Marchioness of Headfort, who was not well enough to attend. I met his uncle Lord William Taylour, who was talking to the Hon. Mrs. Mark Milbank, and his aunt Lady Millicent Taylour was also there. From Yorkshire I met Lady Mowbray, Segrave and Stourton, and Lady Cayley, one of those daughters was a bridesmaid. I also met Countess Ferrers accompanied by her husband, Lord Lady Cornwallis, Mr. the Hon. Mrs. Michael Pakenham, Brig. Derek Schreiber, Major Mrs. Victor Seely and Major John the Hon. Mrs. Wills. Others among the large number of guests who came to wish this charming young couple happiness were Lady Carew and her sister-in-law Viscountess Maitland, the Countess of Suffolk, Sir Joscelyn Lucas, Col. Mrs. Foster Greenwood, Major Mrs. Roger Hall, the bride's brothers the Hon. Ronald Nail-Cain and his wife and the Hon. David Nail-Cain, and the bridegroom's half-brother Sir Rupert Clarke, who had come from Australia for the wedding and was best man he also proposed" the health of the bride and bridegroom. When the young couple left the house for their honey moon abroad they went first to see the bridegroom's grandmother, Rose, Marchioness of Headfort at her home. It was a charming thought to send the beautiful flowers from one of the urns in St. James's for Lady Headfort to enjoy in her home after the wedding.............
