The re-enacted wedding will see the presence of famous contemporaries of Bram Stoker including Henry Irving and his acting partner, Ellen Terry. Standish O'Grady will also be present, as will Oscar Wilde, doubtless forlorn having once been engaged to Florence. 

Bram Stoker,  the author of Dracula, was married to Florence Balcombe in St Ann's in 1878.  This was a big surprise as up to then she had been the sweetheart of Oscar Wilde.
