- In olden times if a man had to get married, his father would look for a girl for his son. If the girl would not get a good fortune the father would not let his son marry her. The wedding would be in the girl's house, barley bread and rye bread they used to have, there was no flour at that time. The people who would not be invited to the wedding would dress themselves, and put on straw hats on their heads, they would go to the wedding about nine o'clock and dance enough and go home again, those people were called straw men.
