- The woman that told me this story said that she never remembered to see anyone being married in houses. It is a custom to rope the road the day the people get married. It is a custom to wear something borrowed blue; something old, and new. It is usual that the wedding breakfast is held in the house. The soppers used always go to the wedding dance. They behave themselves well. Yes a wedding procession was held and the way it was held is that all that was at it stayed together until they came up a good distance and then they went for a race. Yes the wives always sat up behind their husbands, because they were used to it.
Local Marriage Customs
“In the month of February nearly all the marriages take place in my district.”
