From The Constitution of Atlanta, Georgia, Friday, March 7, 1902
She got rid of old love, and then hurried to altar with new flame: London society is stirred by the conduct of Miss Custance, who jilts Montague and immediately weds Douglas
London, March 6 - Two announcements in the same column of the newspapers here today are causing considerable comment.
One reads: "The marriage arranged between Mr. George Charles Montgue, MP, and Miss Custance, will not occur."
The second says: "Lord Alfred Douglas was married to Miss Olive Custance on Tuesday at St. George's Church, Hanover Square. The marriage was extremely quiet. Lady Edith Fox-Pitt, daughter of the late Marquis of Queensbury, and sister of the bridegroom, witnessed the ceremony."
The bride is the daughter of Colonel Custance, late of the Grenadier Guards.
Lord Alfred Douglas, who returned to England after a visit to the United States in January last, is the second son of the late Marquis of Queensbury and a brother of the present Marquis.
