Hugh Grosvenor, the seventh Duke of Westminster, will tie the knot on Friday 8 June
, will be held at Chester Cathedral, followed by a glittering reception at the Grosvenor family's ancestral seat, Eaton Hall.It is therefore no surprise that the Grosvenor wedding is likely to be a no-expenses spared occasion, with the Duke and his soon-to-be Duchess of Westminster set to tie the knot in the presence of 400 people, followed by a more intimate next-day affair.
Despite the family's high-profile status, romance isn't always something they publicise. Hugh's sisters Lady Viola Grosvenor and Lady Edwina Grosvenor both opted to wed in secret, with nobody but their closest friends and family present.
In what was dubbed "Chesire's royal wedding" at the time, thousands of well-wishers lined the narrow streets to try to catch a glimpse of the newlyweds - and their royal guests - which included Prince William, Prince Harry, Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.
The couple chose to have a low-key ceremony at Bishop’s Lodge in Woolton, Liverpool, attended only by family members.The spotlight didn't tempt Lady Viola Grosvenor, Hugh's younger sister, who chose to wed her Dragoon Guards officer husband, Angus Roberts, in secret.reported that the couple wed in a private UK ceremony "unknown to anyone outside her tight circle of family and friends", which was followed by a second, larger celebration in Africa.
Lady Viola opted for quiet, unspoiled and secluded luxury for her second wedding destination, an option made possible thanks to her parents-in-law, who happen to be the owners of Manda Bay - a small privately owned boutique lodge located on the northern tip of Manda Island in the Lamu archipelago on Kenya's coast.
