The Hauling Home
One month after the marriage the bride accompanied by her husband and some friends visited her fathers home.
It was considered unlucky for a newly wed woman to visit the house of her parents before a month was out.
As the visiting party drew near the house the eldest man among her fathers guests went out to meet her and broke an oaten cake on her head before the procession reached her fathers house . Then all went into the house and there was eatings, and drinkings and lashings and leavings.
