    Straw boys do visit the weddings in this district. They visit the houses after the weddings and are welcomed and refreshments. They dance and sing for the people attending the wedding feast. There is a reception at the bride's home and her mother pays for this. A wedding feast is always held and sometimes a week or a fortnight after the marriage feast another is held. This takes place in the house of the bride. In olden times the brides' who were married used to sit on horseback with their husbands.
