EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the First World War, love continued to blossom as evidenced by the quiet and elegant wedding of Baroness Beaumont and the Hon. Bernard Fitzalan-Howard in September 1914. The bride, Ethel, Lady Beaumont's elder daughter, and the groom, elder son of Lord Howard of Glossop, exchanged vows at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Carlton near Selby. Bernard, a Lieutenant in the 1st Lovats Scouts, had been granted a rare forty-eight hours of leave from the front to marry his beloved and begin their new life together. The wedding was a testament to the enduring power of love and the resilience of the upper classes during a time of great upheaval. The bride looked radiant in her wedding gown, accompanied by her bridesmaids in their elegant dresses. The groom, in his military uniform, looked proud and dashing as he waited for his bride at the altar. The small, intimate ceremony was a welcome distraction from the harsh realities of the war, providing a brief moment of joy and happiness for the couple and their families. The newlyweds embarked on their honeymoon, cherishing every moment together before Bernard returned to the front lines. This poignant image of a wedding during wartime serves as a reminder of the human spirit's ability to find love and happiness even in the most challenging of circumstances.
