  1. Long ago when a man and a lady were getting married they used to go to the nearest town and they used to eat, drink, dance and sing. They used to come home and stay up all night doing the same thing. That night "brideogs" used to come to the house dressed up with straw hats and visards and old womens clothes. They used to eat and drink play music and sing.
