    ceiling. The hauling home often takes place at the end of the wedding day. The bride gives goodbye to her old home and with her husband goes to make a new one for them both.
    It was considered unlucky to get married in the season of Lent because the old people had the saying "If you marry in Lent you are sure to repent", and the old people had another saying. "If you are married in blue you are sure to be true".
