Alan, Alastair,
It is from Carrington’s biography (p. 240 of the 1986 Penguin edition) where he attributes to Philip Gosse, Edmund’s son, who was also present.

Dear Mr. Cowan,
I can only help you by saying that, according to the Carrington Extracts from Carrie's diaries, James and Gosse were there, and Ford wasn't, so it was probably one of the first two.
Yours,
Alastair Wilson

Somewhere i have read a description of Carrie's wedding dress as "brown with buttons all the way down the front". Can anyone remind me of where it came from. Gosse?
James? Ford Madox Ford?
