    A wedding feast was held when the bride and the bridegroom came home. The young men of the village dressed in straw and went into the house where the feast was held. They danced and sang and played on musical instruments. When they had this done they got refreshments.
    There was a wedding procession. The man went to the girl's house the morning of the wedding. Then the bridegroom went to the church with his friends and the bride after with her friends.
