The happy bride sat on the back seat of the brougham, immediately before her being two mirrors in the shape of a heart supporting a bouquet of white flowers.

Contemplating this simple imagery she rattles to the ecclesiastical arena and the sanctities of the five, ten, fifteen, twenty or twenty-five guelder carpet.

After, a banquet and jokes.
This is the second banquet, for when the precise preliminaries of a Dutch engagement are settled a betrothal feast is held.

Friends are bidden to the wedding by the receipt of a box of sweets and a bottle of wine known as "Bride's tears".

For the wedding day itself there is a particular brand of wine which contains little grains of gold.
