  2. Weddings Long Ago

    Share Share Post
    The usual time for a wedding long ago was before Lent. In those times some of the people walked and some of them went on side cars. Some of the longest weddings used to have thirty people aside. In the mountainy districts the people walked for miles in the evening when side cars could not be got. Near the towns where side cars were to be found the bride’s party would have four or six side cars and the groom would have the same.
