- Local Marriage Customs.
Thatching is still going on in my district. Match making is generally carried out by the friends of the bride and the bride-groom. From the sixth of January to Ash Wednesday is generally the time marriages take plan. Money is generally given as dowry in my district. Stock or goods are not given. I do not remember marriages in the houses. Straw boys visit the houses and they are received very kindly and are given refreshments by the people of the house.
