Wedding of Nora Robinson and Alexander Kirkman Finlay
![The wedding of Nora Augusta Maud Robinson and Alexander Kirkman Finlay on 7 August 1878, in [[St James' Church, Sydney](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9e/Vice-regal_nuptials_7_August_1878.jpg)
As this was only the second vice-regal wedding to take place in the colony, it generated enormous public interest. The crowd, estimated at between 8,000 and 10,000, thronged the streets outside the church and a large body of police had trouble preserving order. The wedding was attended by the most important members of Sydney society at the time - leaders, administrators, officials, legislators, naval officers, lawyers and aristocrats, many of whom had Scottish connections. There was extensive coverage in the press around the country, including in ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', ''The Queanbeyan Age'', the ''South Australian Register'', the ''Australian Town and Country Journal'', ''The Argus'', ''The Wagga Wagga Daily Advertiser'' and the ''Riverine Herald''.
