This seems to be their engagement announcement from the Telegraph (can't see the full date under the new unsatisfactory website)

MR M.G.H. LAWSON AND MISS C.A. RIDLEY

The engagement is announced between Maximilian, son of Gordon and Louise Lawson, of London and Chichester, and Charlotte, daughter of James and Kate Kingan, of Tynan Abbey, Co Armagh.

Looks like a different Maximilian.  Not sure why she is Ridley if her parents are Kingan but James KIngan's mother was Daphne Marian Stronge dau of the 8th Baronet.  Kingan is an Irish LG family?  Will look them up when I have more time
