Princess Mary's wedding is identified here only by caption cards and negative data from the Bain News Service, and the record gives no date, so the event is unconfirmed. The most likely match is the 1922 marriage of Princess Mary, daughter of King George V, to Viscount Lascelles, held at Westminster Abbey that February and heavily covered by the press. Bain's staff worked largely from news and agency material, so this glass negative records a reportage moment rather than a posed studio portrait.
