    chapel, the bride-groom and bridesmaid sat on one horse and the bride and best man sat on another, and the other people who were going to the marriage walked behind. When they were returning from the marriage, the bride and bridegroom sat on the same horse. Long ago when the people got married, the brides had no rings, but they used the ring which held the priests keys.
