About eighty years ago a man and a woman who were getting married in Inagh went together on horseback to the chapel. Their names were John Devitt and Mary Devereux. The two months that people used not get married were May and August. The two days of the week that people used not get married were Tuesday and Saturday. They used to wear something old and something new, something borrowed and something blue. When people used be married and when they were coming out the gate, their friends pelt rice or old shoes after the married couple.
