It is nice to see Lady Rose and her husband attending a high-soceity wedding. She looked nice. Is Captain Nicholas van Cutsem a member of the van Custem family?

[Marsel]

Yes, Captain Nicholas van Cutsem is from the van Cutsem family.
He is the third son of Hugh Bernard van Cutsem and Jonkyrouwe Emilie van Ufford. He has two older brothers - Edward (married to Lady Tamara Grosvenor) and Hugh (married to Rose Astor), and a younger brother - William Henry van Cutsem (unmarried). Incidentally, I think I've read somewhere that William Henry was named in honour of Princes William and Harry, although I'll need to check this.

It's really nice to see Lady Rose and George: both looked wonderful.

I think that's the same dress that Lady Rose wore to Trooping the Colour this year.

[Marsel]

It is indeed the same outfit.
Lady Rose chose to wear it without a hat this time.

[Al_bina]

Marsel,
Thanks for information! Well ... I was mistaken assuming that the van Custems had only two sons.
At the same time, it is always a pleasure to see Lady Rose and/or Lady Davina whom I view as an epitome of class.

It's nice to see Rose and Gary out and about. Marsel I didn't realise William Henry Van cutsem was named after William and Harry. How wonderful.

You are most welcome, Al_bina!
I agree with your opinion about Lady Rose and Lady Davina: both are dignified woman, who truly deserve the style of a "Lady".

I'm afraid I made a mistake in my post, lumytqueen: William Henry van Cutsem couldn’t have possibly been named after William and Harry because he is about a year older than William. I apologize for the mistake.
I have indeed read in an article that when Hugh and Emilie were naming their youngest son, they asked Prince Charles's opinion, who suggested William Henry as the name (William was the name of Hugh van Cutsem's great-grandfather and Henry was one of the names of Hugh’s father).

Van Cutsems are among Charles's oldest and most trusted friends, Prince Charles was the Godfather of their eldest son, Edward Bernard Charles van Cutsem (the names are reportedly honouring Hugh’s maternal grandfather – Captain Edward Compton, Hugh’s father – Bernard van Cutsem, and Prince Charles),

Incidentally, when Prince Charles suggested "Zara" as a name for Princess Anne's daughter, there was a van Cutsem connection as well: the second daughter of Geoffrey van Cutsem (Hugh's younger brother) and Sarah McCorquodale (not to be confused with Princess Diana's sister), born in 1978 or 1979, is Zara as well. While Charles isn’t as close to Geoffrey as to Hugh, they still were/are very good friends.

I always think that Lady Rose and her sister look a bit thrown together clothes-wise. Their clothes and accessories rarely match and the clothes themselves often look very old-fashioned. I think her dress here is a bit frumpy and with regards to her hair it looks like she just got out of bed and shoved a clasp in without even brushing it.

I agree with the hair, quite a bit of a mess But it doesn't really matter to me - Lady Rose is beautiful in my eyes, I liked her dress and she and her husband George are really a lovely couple.

Another pic of them from the wedding can be seen in this gallery:

I'm so glad someone else noticed too. The addition of a hat for the wedding would have been nice
