The wedding of the century is at last upon us as Gladys Russell (Taissa Farmiga) prepares to marry the Duke of Buckingham on The Gilded Age. But Gladys isn't exactly thrilled about her fate, so much so that she walks down the aisle with tears running down her face beneath her veil.

SPOILER ALERT! This story contains details from Sunday’s episode of The Gilded Age on HBO. Bertha, 1, Gladys 0: Mama Russell finally saw her dream come true for her only daughter in the latest episode of the Julian Fellowes drama.

In The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 4, Gladys considers calling it off in a tense, but tender, scene with her father. She wonders if there’s any way out of the massive society wedding, but George explains that if she does so, her reputation will be ruined. Gladys should have spoken up earlier.
