Life's Ebb And Flow Chapter IV. [30th April 1881]. And so the tale unfolds. Our [Francis Greville 5th Earl Warwick 5th Earl Brooke (age 28) and Frances Evelyn "Daisy" Maynard Countess Warwick (age 19)] marriage took place in the Henry VII Chapel in Westminster Abbey, and the newspapers of the day made much of the "most brilliant wedding of a dozen seasons." I remember my surprise as I drove from our house in Carlton Gardens to the Abbey to find the way lined with interested crowds.

Among the guests were the [her brother] Prince (age 39) and Princess of Wales (age 36), Prince and Princess Christian, the [her brother] Duke (age 30) and Duchess of Connaught (age 20), Princess Louise (age 33) (Marchioness of Lorne), Princess Mary Adelaide (age 47) (Duchess of Teck) and the Duke of Teck (parents of Queen Mary), with [her brother] Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany (age 28), as my husband's best man. The crush filled the Abbey from the choir to the door.

My twelve bridesmaids were all girl friends and relatives. They were: Blanche Maynard (age 17), my sister (now Lady Algernon Gordon-Lennox (age 33)), Lady Eva Greville (age 21), my husband's only sister, my stepsisters, Millicent (age 13), Sybil (age 9), and Angela St. Clair Erskine (age 4) (later Duchess of Sutherland, Countess of Westmorland, and Lady A. Forbes), Countess Feodore Gleichen (age 19) (later a renowned sculptor), Lady Florence Bridgman (age 22) (the present Countess of Harewood and mother of Viscount Lascelles (age 34)), Miss Wombwell (age 19) (Countess of Dartrey), Miss Mills, the first Lord Hillingdon's daughter, Miss Violet Lindsay (age 25) (now Violet, Duchess of Rutland), and Miss Ethel Milner (age 30) (later Countess of Durham).
