    the married couple are first to have breakfast.
    It is a sign of bad luck if the party meet a funeral going to the chapel and also if they meet with an accident it is a token of bad luck. The night of the wedding strawboys go to the house with masks on their faces. Some of them go in and enjoy themselves and others stay outside and do considerable damage to the house.
