Nigerian Woman becomes Britains 'First Black Marchioness'. Groom's Family didn't attend

Happy day: Viscount Weymouth, Ceawlin Thynn, with his bride Emma McQuiston at Longleat

For those who don't know the meaning of Marchioness, according to Wikipedia, it is a term used for the wife of royals and noble men in Britain. It is just below the Duke and above the Earl. So in essence, it is like a Palace Chief.

The marriage is between the Future Marquess of Bath, Ceawlin Thynn, Viscount Weymouth and the daughter of a Nigerian Oil Tycoon Emma McQuiston.  However beautiful the day might seem, it was clouded by the fact that the Groom's parents shunned the ceremony which many people including Emma, has said it is because of her ethnicity.  She said " There is class and then there's the racial thing. It's a jungle and I'm going through it and discovering things as I group up.
The intimate ceremony took place at the Longleat Castle which is considered as one of the foremost and widely respected traditional British estates in the country with the backdrop of the safari park, estate and house and it's said to be 'quite special'.  More pics inside
