- Most marriages take place in Summer. Marriages do not take place very often now. June and July are lucky months. May is an unlucky month.
Sometimes two parties meet together in order to make a match. This is called matchmaking. The people go into a public house, and they drink, feast and make great joy, and fun. Then the dowry or fortune of the girl is agreed upon. Sometimes the dowry causes the breaking off of a match.
