Fr. Adrian Fortescue was an English priests who wrote a number of books that were popular in the English Catholic world in the early part of the 20th century. He wrote about the Mass, about our separated Eastern brethren, etc.

He is best known these days for his work The Ceremonies of the Roman Rite, which describes the what and how of serving in the Extraordinary Form in great detail. It has information for any number of situations. It is a common first resource for MCs and priests, especially for those ceremonies that don't happen often (e.g. the Triduum). It is not a set of rubrics, as there aren't rubrics for servers, but his observations of the practices of various churches in his time.

Even after he went to his eternal reward, it has been updated - many editions were made under Fr. O'Connell. I'm not sure who does the most recent ones, but I think it's up to edition 15 or 16.

I'll send you a scan of the pages for Nuptial Mass in a bit, once I can dig it out.
