- Many people in this parish, get married in Shrove, and June and July and in November. It is considered unlucky to get married in the months of May, August and during Lent and Advent, or on a Monday or Friday.
Matches are sometimes made, and money is given as fortune. Stock or goods are never given.
Scarcely any person living in this parish, remember marriages taking place in the houses.
It is customary of late years, to get married in the morning, with Nuptial Mass, and then a feast is held in the house.
Before, both parties met at the brides house, and held a dance until late in the afternoon, and then went to the Church and got married, and after that went to their future home, where there was a wedding feast held.
