dress up in disguise and go in the
"Bacacks"to the house just for a "spot"
(to see what is going on).At the wedding a boy has to cut the Bride Cake.He gives some of it to his wife and all the wedding get a slice of it.People say if you brought it home and put it under the pillow while asleep that you would dream of your future wife or husband.
People differ in opinion as to what dress to wear.The boy always wears blue but the girls marry in different colours.
Marry in blue your love will prove true.
Marry in white you have chosen alright.
Marry in black you are sure to come back.
Marry in green and you are ashamed to be seen.
Marry in yellow you are ashamed
of your fellow.
Marry in red you would rather be dead.
Marry in grey you will go far away.
