  1. Local Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    Long ago people would give so many head of cattle as fortunes. The people used get married in their own homes. They would throw a shoe after them or shower them with rice. The people getting married would borrow some thing from a friend. Mondays and Fridays are unlucky to get married. On the night of the marriage sappers go around collecting money.
    It used to be a customary thing ago for men to ride on horseback. They used have a race to see which of them would reach to house first.
