EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the moment Sir Edward Carson, a renowned Irish barrister, judge, and unionist politician, exchanged vows with his beloved bride, Miss Ruby Frewen, on their wedding day at Charlton Musgrove, Somerset on September 17, 1914. Sir Edward, born in 1854, was a seasoned figure in Irish and British politics, while Ruby, at the age of 29, brought youth and vitality to their union. Despite the significant age difference between them, their connection was strong and enduring. Sir Edward's impressive career included serving as a Member of Parliament, a Queen's Counsel, and a Judge of the King's Bench. His political stance as a unionist and his role in the Ulster Unionist Council's resistance to Home Rule for Ireland placed him at the center of Irish political tensions. Ruby, a charming and elegant woman, became Lady Carson upon their marriage. They were blessed with one son, adding to their growing family. The wedding ceremony took place in the picturesque setting of Charlton Musgrove, surrounded by the beautiful landscapes of Somerset. This photograph is a testament to the power of love and companionship, transcending age and societal expectations. The image of Sir Edward and Lady Carson, with their beaming smiles and genuine affection for each other, is a reminder of the rich history and historical figures that have shaped our world.
