- Marriages
As the present time we hear of very many marriages. The times of the year people get married are during the Summer months and at Easter Shove time.
When people are married and when they come out of the church the people whom are outside throw confetti or rice at them.
They also go to another place for a month or two and they call this the honey-moon. When they make matches the girl is given a sum of money as a fortune.
On that night some men dress up in straw and old clothes and go to the house and dance the same as the guests.
