    in some parts of the country "strawboys" visited the house where the wedding was held and demanded money and food from the people of the house; the latter usually gave them what they demanded as they were afraid they might harm them. Those boys were so called because they dressed in rags and straw and disguised themselves in every way they possibly could.
