- Long ago the people in the country used never go on their honey-moon. They always went the long road after the wedding and when they would be coming home the people would light bone-fires on the road.
When they came home from the wedding. They used to have a dance in the woman's house, and there would be a dance at the man's house the next night.
Match making is very popular in this district. Sometimes the people's matches are made.
The man sends a few men to the girl's house, and asks her father about the match.- Collector
