    Marriage
    Marriages generally take place from Christmas to Ash Wednesday which is called Shrove. Some people say that is is not lucky to get married in May or July. I tis very unlucky to get married on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. When a person gets married in this place they have to get money or stock.
    In olden times when a person was getting married a crowd of people and horses left the bride's home to the church and back afterwards when the wedding took place. When they reached the house they was great joy and happiness. A person can get married in different colours. Married in white you will have chosen all right.
