From Richard Kay's column in the Daily Mail, 14 July 2014:
Tetra Pak heir weds
Christie's art expert Julia Delves Broughton, 53, turned up half an hour late for her wedding to Swedish Tetra Pak billionaire Hans Rausing, 50, at Woburn Abbey — rather more than the customary 10 minutes allowed to the bride.
Friends might have been forgiven for thinking she was having cold feet, given the troubled history of both families, but I’m told it was an entirely happy event, albeit without Julia’s mother, Helen, who hasn’t spoken to her daughter for 14 years after a family feud.
The Earl of Derby gave her  away and Detmar Blow, ex-husband of her late sister, Isabella Blow, purveyor of exotic chapeaux, was among the 60 guests. Both families have endured tragedy and mystery, starting with the murder of the Earl of Errol in Kenya, when Julia’s grandfather, Sir Jock Delves Broughton, was the prime suspect but eventually acquitted.
Then there was the suicide of her sister, Isabella in 2007.
Hans’s first wife, Eva, died in 2012 and her decomposed body was discovered at their Chelsea home several weeks later.
Why Woburn Abbey, home of the Dukes of Bedford? When Helen left Julia’s father, Sir Evelyn Delves Broughton, he married Rona — whose daughter by a previous marriage is Louise, the current Duchess of Bedford.

Many thanks for that correction. Not paying enough attention to the Rausing's Wiki entries!!
