“There was great excitement when anyone got married...”
There was great excitement when anyone got married in the neighbourhood long ago. All the people of the district went to the marriage for it was seldom there was one. After the marriage the people awaited the two to be married outside the chapel some had horses and they had a race between them to the house of the Bridegroom. Most of the people were invited to the wedding. The feast lasted all day long and in the night dancing started. Some of the people that were not invited came as strawboys and each one of them kissed the Bride.
