At noon today the bells of Chester s medieval cathedral will ring out in joyous peal for a wedding. For ambitious mothers of aristocratic daughters they may have a mournful tone, however.
Billionaire duke Hugh Grosvenor will wed Olivia Henson today in Chester. Here's a look at who the couple are, how long they have been together and what they've said about their 400-guest ceremony - which will be attended by royals.
It was a family wedding at an English country church - and yet the groom was the beneficiary of one of Britain s biggest fortunes and his supporters included the heir to the throne.
