  1. Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    In some places before the bride gets married it is the custom for her to make a wedding garment for the intended husband to show it to his mother.
    After the wedding the oldest person in the house brakes an oaten-cake over the bride at the door-step as she enters into the house.
    At the wedding breakfast a fortune song is sung for the bride.
