  1. Story - Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    When a girl wants to get married she sends an account to her boy's house. The girl's Parents then come to see the boy's farm. If the parties are satisfied the match is made.
    A couple of days after, they go to town and they pay (to) the money which is called a Fortune.
    About a week after they go to the priest, and they tell him the day for getting married. They give him so much money for marrying them.
    The morning of the marriage the boy goes to the girl's house in a motor car. Then they have breakfast. Then they come to the chapel and get married.
    Some people after their marriage go away on their honey moon. Others stay at home and have a "night".
