  1. Local Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    The month of May, and Wednesdays, and Fridays are thought unlucky for marriages. Marriages usually take place in Shrove. The man and the woman used to sit on the horse together coming home from the chapel long-ago, but now they usually go in motor-cars.
