  1. Old Customs when Getting Married

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the marriage partly used not to go in cars to get marriages. They used to go walking in couples. There used to be a fiddler playing in front of them. William Gallagher of Maas, and Johnny Coll of Longfield were the fiddlers who were asked to play.
