  1. When a pair are getting married here in Borlinn, before they get married the man goes to the woman's house to bring her to the church.
    In Bantry it is quite different the pair do not see each other until they meet at the church. It is considered unlucky to meet before that. They both come back from the church in the man's motor-car.
    When people get married in Co. Cork it is not considered to go to Kerry on their honey-moon.
