The groom is a scion of James Fitzjames. Fitzjames was the illegitimate son of King James II of England and Arabella Churchill. When James was deposed in the Glorious Revilution of 1688 James, Duke of Berwick, fled to the continent with his father. He became a well regarded general leading French troops during the War of Spanish Succession. Spain granted him the title of Duke of Alba. I must admit they make a handsome couple. He looks great in his military style uniform. The only thing missing is a saber.

Notice in the photos all the wealthy people have no tattoos, purple hair or piercings.
Wealthy people also marry.
My brother has done really well and lives in a very well to do area. A few years back at his daughters HS graduation party I noticed none of the people had tats-parents or kids alike.

I expect to see this Wedding made into a Hallmark Movie.
I saw one just like it a week ago. My Wife and I watch at least one Hallmark Rom-Con as our evening TV watching. Before Nov. 6, 2020 we watched Fox News in the evening.
