  1. Local Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    Marriages generally take place during Shrove but now they take place all the year round.
    May is said to be an unlucky month for weddings but of course that is never observed nowadays but in out district nobody gets married on Friday.
    Matches are also made in out-of-the-way place and money is given as a fortune.
    The bride is always late on her wedding day. Sometine people are married in their own houses.
