- "Straw-boys"
During the wedding the "straw-boys" pay a visit. The "straw boys" are neighbours who are not invited to the wedding. They came dressed in straw, knocked at the door and must get a drink. Sometimes the wedding party do not like to see them come, fearing they would want too much or start fighting.
