Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, married Olivia Henson today at Chester Cathedral, in what many are calling the society wedding of the decade and the “most royal non-royal nuptials.” Roads were shut down in Chester in order to accommodate the pomp and circumstance, and in an effort to help stave off any blowback, the bride and groom are funding the annual Summer Flowers project, which involves 100,000 flowers being planted across the city, as well as paying for people to get free ice cream on the day of the wedding, provided by three local businesses.
