- Marriage customs (continued)
27-5-1938
Long ago it was the custom when the bride and bride groom arrived at the house the barn was cleared out and a dance was held which was kept until the next morning.
When the dance was over the "hat" or plate was put round and all put money in it for the fiddler so he would have a pocket of silver going home next day.
