A Scene of Elegance and Devotion: The Wedding of Hon. Mary Caroline O'Hagan and General Sir Charles Carnichael Monro in October 1912 This photograph captures a poignant moment before the wedding ceremony of Hon. Mary Caroline O'Hagan and General Sir Charles Carnichael Monro, which took place outside the hallowed halls of Westminster Abbey in October 1912. The aristocratic couple's union was an event of great significance in British society, as evidenced by the grandeur of the setting and the distinguished attire of the guests. Mary, resplendent in her white bridal gown and veil, is seen making a farewell gesture to her cherished pet dog before leaving it in the car. The cobblestone street, adorned with a red carpet, adds to the historical ambiance of the scene, while the general, in his military uniform, stands nearby, a picture of pride and anticipation. The aristocracy and peerage of the time were known for their love of animals, and it is a testament to Mary's deep bond with her pet that she chose to bring it along to the wedding, despite the social conventions of the era. This tender moment of affection between woman and dog, set against the backdrop of the grand Westminster Abbey, serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between man and his faithful companion. This photograph, with its rich historical context and evocative imagery, transports us back to a time of elegance, class, and tradition, and offers a glimpse into the lives of the aristocracy during a bygone era.
