Some time after a feast was held in the house of the woman and a dance is given during the night At the feast they settle the fortune of the girl and it is given to the man and he hands her back some money to buy her rigout. This custom is carried on in the parish yet. The time the people usually get married is in Shrove. There are some days counted lucky and others not.
