S2E8 (mar 26, 1919 – may 2, 1919)

Description:

In Episode 2.07 Lavinia says that she and Matthew are marrying in "April"; so Episode 2.08, when their wedding was supposed to take place, is set in April. Mary says that there are "Three full days" left until the wedding, thus backing up Lavinia's words. The dates and days do not line up entirely right, particularly Mary saying the wedding is in 3 days, then saying it was scheduled in a couple days, on Saturday, after an event planned for a Monday.

Takes place over at least 10 days, discounting Mary's 3 day statement, or 6 days if the Monday timing of the Bryants' visit is incorrect.
