eleven o'clock in the morning
She wore a plain white tulle dress , over a lustreless white silk , an Illusion vail , a wreath of orange buds , and white kid gloves and gaiters . She wore no jewels of any sort . Her bridesmaids , only two in number , were dressed like herself , except that they wore no vails , and that their wreaths were of white rose buds . At eleven o'clock in the morning , a handsome but very plain coach drew up before the gate of Elmhurst Terrace . The bride , attended by her two bridesmaids and Lady Belgrade , entered it , and was driven off quietly to St. George 's , Hanover square . No invitations had been issued for the wedding , except to the nearest family connections of the bride and bridegroom . But unfortunately the news of the approaching marriage had crept out , and got into the morning papers , and consequently the street before the church , the churchyard , and the church itself , were crowded with spectators .
