  1. Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    1 The ladies drove to the wedding in a coach and the men drove on horseback. This group of men was called a "drag."
    Returning from the wedding, the drag had a race and the man who won was the first to dance with the bride.
    2 The night of the wedding was accompanied with much merry-making. Many dainty dishes were served.
    3 A fire was made in the middle of a field stones were put around it, and two or three geese were roasted.
