  1. Long ago there used be great weddings. They used get married in the evenings. They used have a wedding before they go to get married and after coming back. They used have the wedding at the brides house. When they used come home they used have a dance until morning. They used have sixty or seventy gallons of whiskey. They used not have any cars it was walking and on horse back they used all be. The weddings long ago were much better than the wedding that are nowadays.
