    himself and his bride many years of joy together.
    Sometimes they are brought into the house and treated like the wedding guests.
    The newly married bride seldom rode home on horseback with her husband but used be left in her home for a week or so.
    Then her husnabd used come for her and bring her to live in her new home. This is called the "dragging home".
    It was said that the third day after Christmas whatever day it would be, would be unlucky for getting married throughout the year.
