Love under the Chuppah in Carton House as Edmund Ross’s daughter marries
Half of London were in Carton House in Maynooth, Co Kildare last weekend for a very chic two-day wedding. Only half ? Tania, daughter of Irish photographic legend Edmund Ross, and her beau Robert Williams, were blessed and married by Rabbi Zalman Lent of The Dublin Hebrew Congregation under the Chuppah (canopy). Love under the Chuppah in Carton House has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
Tania’s dress was designed by Ritva Westenius of Connaught Street. She had nine bridesmaids (all the bridesmaids wore different colour dresses) and nine ushers. Just so you know. The bride and groom met by introduction from a mutual friend who had climbed Kilimanjaro with Tania and thought she was both a good sport and an adventurous girl.
In any event, Tania and Robert’s adventure started in earnest last Monday when they flew off to Santorini for a mini moon.
Robert and Tania got engaged last May in London where they live and work. Tania is the digital marketing manager for Fleetway Travel while Robert is an accountant at Deloittes. But back to the two-day wedding in Carton House . . .
Notable guests — apart from the parents of the bride, Anne and Edmund Ross, and the parents of the groom, Jonathan and Andrea Williams — included dermatologist Nicholas Walsh, Professsor David Harris of Blackrock Clinic and Jeremy Manuel OBE with his wife Liz.
The 180 guests were entertained by the wedding band One (who were hired in from London) on the Saturday night, “plus Irish Riverdance-style dancing” (according to Edmund Ross) in the marquee and Sunday dinner and dancing till 1 am.
Only 1am? Oy vey.
