    Local Marriage Customs. 17.15.1937.
    In the district the two to be married go to the chapel together. When they are married they leave the chapel and go either to his house or to some town for their breakfast.
    After their breakfast the bride and bridegroom go for a long drive in a motor car. It is usual that on that night the people belonging to the bride give a dance or a party for them. Then the couple go for their honeymoon for a week or so.
