  1. (continued from previous page)
    The bride wore an embroidered cap and cape cloak. She usually sat behind the horseman in what was called a "coologue" or a pillow fixed behind the saddle. When the marriage had taken place the people returned to the home of the bride and they were treated to a dinner of potatoes and roast geese, as tea was very seldom used at that time.
    It was also the custom that the Curate or Parish Priest attended the wedding house, where the collection was made to pay him for marrying the pair.
