  2. Local Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the groom went to the bride's house on the wedding morning to get the fortune. Then they proceeded to the Church to get married. The wedding feast took place in the bride's house. After the wedding ceremony the bride and groom went home in a carriage. The guests raced each other home on horseback and the first home got a bottle of whiskey which he drank and broke the bottle against the wall.
    A loaf of bread was broken over the bridges head and she entered the door of her new home.
