There are also customs that those attending the wedding feast after the marriage would race on horses to the house where the wedding feast would be held and the first person reaching the house would jump off his horse and go into the house and on the table kitchen he would have a bottle of whiskey. Then he divided the whiskey on the bridegroom and bride and also on the rest of the guests.
It was also the custom in olden times for an old woman to break an oaten cake over the brides head.
