    all went to the house and there they got plenty of refreshment. They all were singing and dancing in the house until morning. Sometimes the beggars came begging to the house where the wedding was held and they always expected to get about a shilling from the people that got married. When one person was going to invite a neighbour to his wedding he should go to the person's house and invite him. If they met on the road and he invited his neighbour, the neighbour would not go to the wedding because they said that would not be an invitation. They always had to go to the house with the invitation. (Cuireadh bhóthair)
