    In parts of the district it was usual to hold a “blind wedding” The youth of the district arranged to gather to a certain house on a certain nice. A fiddler was procured and a dance started. A pair was made and a few gallons of whiskey or poteen procured and the assembled company had a real jolly big night. Blind weddings were held until about thirty years ago.
