  1. Social - Matchmaking

    Share Share Post
    When the people would be matchmaking long ago the parents of the people to be married would meet at one of their houses & make the match. The couple to be married would not know anything about it until they are told the day.
    When all would be fixed up they would go to the church either on saddle horse or walking.
