  1. Local Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    Summer is thought by most people to be very unlucky for marriages in this district. Most people are married in the Spring. July is thought to be the unluckiest month in the year for marriages. The gifts which the people received long ago were stock and goods. They receive money now.
