 The marriage took place 8 August, 2024, at Islington Town Hall, between Jasset David Cody Ormsby-Gore, 7th Baron Harlech (born 1 July, 1986), son of the late 6th Baron Harlech (1954-2016), and his former wife, Amanda Jane Grieve (born 1958), & Ida H.Y. Lai (born 1989), a Canadian.

Jasset Harlech succeeded to the peerage 1 February, 2016. The Peerage of the UK was created in 1876. John, the first Baron (1816-76), was Groom in Waiting to Queen Victoria, MP for Carnarvonshire and later for North Shropshire.  His brother, the 2nd Baron (1819-1904), married Lady Emily Seymour, sister of the 5th Marquess of Hertford; the 3rd Baron, George (1855-1938), married Lady Margaret Gordon, daughter of the 10th Marquis of Huntly. William, the 4th Baron (1885-1964), married Lady Beatrice Gascoyne-Cecil, daughter of the 4th Marquess of Salisbury. David, 5th Baron (1918-85), was British Ambassador to the United States, a lover of Jacqueline Kennedy, and was killed in a car accident in January, 1985. The 6th Baron having inherited estates in Wales and Shropshire worth £2.6m, and been obliged to pay £1.6m in tax, by the year 2000 he was forced to sell his ancestral seat, Brogyntyn Hall in Oswestry, Shropshire. It had been in the family for two centuries, including a period of notoriety during the "Swinging Sixties" when he, his older brother Julian (1940-74) and their three sisters, Jane, Victoria and Alice, had set up a commune in the 200-acre park.
