  1. Local Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    Match making is generally carried on by the friends of the bride and bride-groom. From the sixth of January to Ash Wednesday is generally the time marriages take place. Money is generally given as a 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.
