    Local Marriages.
    Shrove is the time of the year people generally get married.
    If a couple were going to get married they used to go to the priest's house to get married. They used to have a wedding at the man's house.
    The bride's parents used to give cows or horses for a fortune to the man.
    The man used to wear a frock coat, and knicker-bocker breeches and a caroline hat.
    The women used to wear a white cap, a paisley shawl and a skirt with flounces and hoops.
