    (continued from previous page)
    They come back at night for the wedding. It is always counted unlucky for a bride to loose her wedding ring. It was on horses that the people went to get married & the bride & bridegroom sat on the same horse on their return home.
    It is an old belief that if a marriage party forgot anything on their way to the church that it was unlucky to turn back.
