    Weddings
    Usually in olden times the people used to get married around Christmas. Sometimes the wedding lasted for a week and all the people of the village were invited to it. While the people were at the wedding all kinds of tricks were played, some of the people would sing, others would dance and others would tell stories.
    When the wedding would be over,all the people of the villages would have to give money to the people that got married.
