- (continued from previous page)The car in which the bride and bridegroom are goes first. Then all the other cars follow that to the bride's new home. Those who attended weddings long ago raced on horses all the way home. Wives sat culóg on horses behind their husbands when there were no roads for cars. After the marriage the couple go on their "Honey Moon" to a city. If they are not at home before 12 o' clock on Shrove Tuesday night they cannot come home until Lent is over. When they are coming home there is a party at the house to meet them, this is called the "Hauling Home".
