Exciting Dan News
Monday, November 29th, 2010I know it’s been fairly quiet on all fronts on the site for the last few months – life’s caught up with me and most of my web-based projects have been sadly neglected – but the latest Dan Snow news is worth breaking radio silence, at least for this one post!
From Wales Online:
Television presenter Dan Snow has married the Duke of Westminster’s daughter, Lady Edwina Grosvenor, in a ceremony in Liverpool.
Lady Edwina, whose father is one of the country’s richest men and owns large parts of central London, met Snow two years ago.
A statement released by the couple said: “Neither of us has ever wanted a big white wedding and we are delighted that we have been free to plan a simple and relaxed wedding exactly as we wished with our families around us.”
The wedding was held at Bishop’s Lodge in Woolton, Liverpool, on Saturday and the ceremony was conducted by Bishop of Liverpool James Jones.
Snow is the son of BBC journalist Peter Snow and has made a series of history shows with his father.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
