  1. Local Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    Unlucky days - Monday, Wednesday and Friday
    People whose match is made and afterwards falls through go to Sceilig, a rock off the Kerry Coast, on Shrove Tuesday night. They eat one meal on that rock.
    Matches are made in this district.
    Money is given.
    It is most unlucky to meet a funeral on a wedding tour.
    A short time ago guests went to the wedding on horseback and always raced each other home.
