According to Sebastian Shakespeare of the Daily Mail, they married in 2014 at Our Most Holy Redeemer church, in Chelsea.  Lady Laura Cash is 29, her husband is 47 per the news story.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2573436/SEBASTIAN-SHAKESPEARE-After-1m-palace-refit-Kate-hates-colour-scheme.html (5 March 2014) says:  

"Wedding hats off to William Cash, editor-in-chief of Spear's magazine who wed Lady Laura Cathcart, 29, at the Our Most Holy Redeemer church, in Chelsea. 

Cash, 47, is no stranger to marriage, with Laura being the third woman to meet him at the altar." [other details snipped - the couple went on honeymoon to Jamaica etc etc].

William Cash was first married to heiress Ilaria Bulgari (divorced 2007), then engaged or married to Dr Vanessa Neumann (she left in 2009).
