- Marriage Customs.
People do not marry in May or on a Friday.
Sometimes straw-boys come to the house dressed up in old clothes.
Hauling-home common in the old days.
No match-making now. No stock given as dowry. People remember marriages taking place in houses about 70 years ago.
"Marry in May, you'll rue the day."
June is a lucky month to marry, and Wednesday a lucky day.
