  1. Matchmaking Long Ago

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the people of Cluide Corrandulla, Co. Galway used to make the match at a fair. It was usually the fathers and mothers of the pair who wished to get married who met on that day. They used to settle about the fortune and appoint the day for the marriage.
