  1. Local Marriage Customs - Hauling Home

    Share Share Post
    The morning after the wedding or two days after the marriage, the newly married man with his friends took the bride to her new home. This was called the Hauling Home.
    Men on horses would come to the house each man having a girl behind him. They would set off and haste to see who would be first at her new home.
