    Marriage customs.
    V (1) When a couple are getting married there must be two sponsors. The man sponsor should walk with the husband, and the girl sponsor with the wife.
    The most time of the year there are marriages is before Lent. They call that time of the year "Seraft".
    On Puss Tuesday all the old maids have a puss when they are not getting a man.
